CanItBuy Agent Ready

Shoppers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude or Gemini what to buy, and some let an AI agent go to the store and add the product to the cart. CanItBuy Agent Ready shows what happens in your WooCommerce store when they do, and what to fix. AI agent visits. Counts visits from AI agents and crawlers that say who they are: ChatGPT agent (signed requests), ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, GPTBot, Claude-User, Claude-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, Perplexity, Meta, Amazon and more. You see which agents read product pages and which reach the cart and checkout. Visits are counted per day, without IP addresses, and ordinary visitors are never recorded. Signed agents, confirmed. Agents such as ChatGPT agent sign their requests with a public key (Web Bot Auth, HTTP Message Signatures). Turn on "Check agent signatures" and the plugin confirms each signature, so you can tell real agents from visitors that only borrow their name. Off by default. Agent journeys. Follows declared shopping agents, such as ChatGPT agent, from the first product they put in the cart to the order: how far each one got, what was in its cart, where it stopped and the last message your store showed it ("Please choose product options", "Billing Phone is a required field"). You see the value left in carts that did not become orders, and the store messages that stop agents most often. Rules for AI agents. Decide what agents may do: stop visitors that use an agent's name with a wrong signature, let only agents with a confirmed signature check out, or let agents fill the cart while the person places the order. Off by default; nothing changes for people. Compared with other stores (optional). Join the CanItBuy store network and see how your store compares with other WooCommerce stores: AI agent visits, shopping agents that reach checkout, the share of orders from AI assistants, catalog readiness and what stops agents most often. Off until you click "Join and compare"; before that you see exactly what would be shared. Once a week the plugin sends last week's totals with a random id instead of your store address, and never anything about visitors or customers, product names, prices or order amounts. Comparisons appear when at least 5 stores share the same week, and leaving deletes everything your store sent. Sales from AI. Sums the orders that AI assistants sent to you, using WooCommerce order attribution (chatgpt.com, perplexity.ai, claude.ai, gemini.google.com, copilot and others), and marks orders placed by an AI agent itself. Catalog audit. Checks every product and variation for what an agent needs to recommend it and buy the right variant: price, variations with an "Any" attribute, GTIN / EAN with check digit validation, image, description, SKU, brand and category. Each issue says what it costs you and how to fix it. Export the list to CSV for your team. Feed vs store. Compares your Google Merchant Center feed (RSS or Atom) or Ceneo XML with the store: price, availability, GTIN and currency, plus products in stock that the feed leaves out. Page and robots.txt. Reads robots.txt the way AI bots do and shows which of them may read your home page and product pages. Fetches a few product pages and compares the product data on the page (JSON-LD) with WooCommerce, to catch stale caches and plugins that output a second, different price. Fixes, off until you turn them on.

• Add the GTIN from WooCommerce or popular EAN plugins to product data.
• Add the brand from WooCommerce Brands or a brand attribute.
• Add your return window and delivery cost and time to every offer.
• Let AI search and assistant bots read products when robots.txt shuts them out, keeping your other rules and never touching bots you named yourself.

The plugin is in English and ready for translation on translate.wordpress.org. Test with a real AI agent The plugin measures your store from the inside. To watch a real AI agent try to buy in your store, with a recording and a score, run a test on canitbuy.com.
