Standard Specification v2.6
AI Commerce Readiness Protocol
How Relayeo evaluates e-commerce catalogs for ChatGPT Search, Google Gemini, and autonomous AI shopping agents.
Discovery & Crawlability
Verifies endpoint accessibility for autonomous AI web crawlers (GPTBot, Google-Extended, PerplexityBot). Evaluates robots.txt directives, storefront lock status, and machine-readable catalog indexing.
Evaluation Criteria:
- Storefront password disabled
- Storefront catalog response latency < 1200ms
- JSON-LD discovery headers exposed
Understanding & SKU Attribute Coverage
Evaluates structural taxonomy completeness. AI agents require deterministic parent-child relationship mappings between base product entities and individual selectable variants.
Evaluation Criteria:
- Deterministic SKU coverage across child variants
- Structured option taxonomy (Size, Color, Material)
- Consistent title and description microdata
Variant Identity & Barcode Verification
Variant identity completeness is a critical diagnostic signal for reliable AI product discovery. Evaluates whether individual child variants expose standard GTIN-12 (UPC) or GTIN-13 (EAN) identifiers.
Evaluation Criteria:
- Valid GS1 barcode format & checksum
- Unique variant-level barcode coverage
- Machine-readable schema itemprop="gtin13"
Agentic Cart & Checkout Handoff Readiness
Shopify provides the underlying UCP rails. Relayeo independently tests whether an AI shopping agent can complete the journey: locate the variant, preserve price/inventory integrity, and initiate a valid checkout handoff.
Evaluation Criteria:
- Live price consistency across microdata and cart
- Active variant inventory state exposure
- Uninterrupted checkout session handoff
