Send one workflow, a deny-list, and a pass bar. The fill-in RFP is 14 sections. Below 16 out of 30 readiness, the correct award is do not build.

Score the vendor on 11 lines before a pilot. Below 16 out of 30 on your own readiness, do not let any vendor attach a write. About $791 a month at 50,000 sessions is a platform floor, not proof the vendor is cheap.

Call the REST Management API with X-Auth-Token and a store hash. Webhook destinations must be port 443. One API account should not hold both read-orders and modify-orders for a week-one agent.

ChatGPT can show your products from a feed. In-chat Instant Checkout is approved partners, not a switch in Shopify admin. ACP checkout is five endpoints. Catalog gaps still get you skipped.

There is no universal price. A July 2026 first-party benchmark put one AgentCore support silhouette near $791 a month at 50,000 sessions — platform plus a small model, before integration or a reviewer.

Gemini and AI Mode can attach a Buy button only for select UCP merchants. The US, Canada, and Australia are the documented markets. Your Merchant Center feed is the part you can fix this week.

Adobe Commerce still has no AgentCore connector. Use an integration's OAuth credentials against /rest/V1/, not a 4-hour admin password token. Reads first. Refunds stay with a person.

MCP is a tool pipe. The 2025-11-25 spec requires OAuth 2.1 and Protected Resource Metadata on HTTP. A local stdio server must not pretend that flow applies. Tool descriptions are not a permission boundary.

There is no native Shopify AgentCore connector. Pin Admin GraphQL, start with read scopes, and keep write_orders off. Browser-on support turns have run about 3× the platform spend.

Assemble the hold reason, aging, and promise-to-pay. Finance releases the order. The agent does not. The account-manager list still caps at 5 priorities — a hold is one of those 5, not a button.

Tell the shopper whether the order is in the return window and offer an exchange first. Do not buy the label and do not call createRefund. Where-is-my-order is about 18% of tickets; this is the next slice, not a second cashier.

Count sessions, handoffs, writes denied, and one wrong answer. At 50,000 sessions the published AgentCore silhouette is about $791 a month — a bill to plan, not money saved. We are not publishing a containment rate.
