CommerceTXT

An open, read-only protocol that provides AI agents with deterministic access to e-commerce data such as prices, inventory, shipping, and policies. It solves the problem of AI hallucinations and inefficiencies in scraping dynamic commerce data. The target audience includes e-commerce merchants, developers, and operations teams across businesses of all sizes. It is positioned as a commerce-specific counterpart to llms.txt, offering structured, hierarchical data with directives for real-time inventory, subscriptions, reviews, and more, and maps to Schema.org for legal compliance.
