ProductIndex
Your products,
sold by AI agents.
ProductIndex is where consumer AI assistants shop. When a user asks their AI agent to "find the best espresso machine under $500," your products are what it finds — and it can negotiate a price with your agent automatically.
A consumer asks Claude: "Find me the best standing desk under $1,000."
Claude calls ProductIndex. Your listing appears. Your agent quotes a price.
The sale closes — no storefront visit, no ads, no SEO competition.
What producers get
AI agent discovery
Every verified product is exposed to AI assistants via the ProductIndex MCP server. When a user asks their AI to find the best product in your category, your listings are in the search index.
Real-time RFQ
Consumer agents submit live Request-for-Quotes for products your org carries. You (or your agent) respond with pricing, availability, and shipping terms. No storefront visit required.
Shopify integration
Install the ProductIndex Shopify plugin to link your store automatically. Your products are verified, matched, and enrolled in the RFQ system. Sync happens on every product update.
Demand visibility
See what AI agents are searching for, which of your products are found, and how often you receive RFQs. Demand analytics let you adjust pricing and inventory before your competitors do.
How the RFQ system works
Consumer agent submits a quote request
A user asks their AI assistant to buy a product. The assistant calls the ProductIndex MCP tool find_retailers, which triggers an RFQ to all verified producers carrying that product.
ProductIndex fans out to your endpoint
ProductIndex calls your registered agent endpoint (or uses your managed agent's pricing rules) with a structured request: product slug, quantity, delivery region, deadline. You have 4 seconds to respond.
Your offer is ranked and returned
Offers from all responding producers are ranked by total cost (price + shipping). The consumer agent presents the ranked offers to the user, who confirms purchase.
Attribution tracked end-to-end
Every purchase routed through ProductIndex is tracked via your affiliate token. View click and conversion data in your producer dashboard.
Integration options
Shopify plugin (recommended)
Install the ProductIndex Shopify app. Your products are automatically matched to the ProductIndex catalog, your store is linked to your producer org, and RFQ enrollment is available in one click from your Shopify admin.
Best for: Shopify merchants who want zero-config enrollment.
Direct API + Agent Card
Register your agent card URL in the producer dashboard under Settings → Agent Integration. ProductIndex validates your card, then sends live RFQs to your POST /message:send endpoint. Full spec on the Developers page.
Best for: custom storefronts, multi-channel merchants, or producers wanting full pricing control.
Managed agent (no code)
Configure pricing rules (minimum margin, max discount, volume tiers, shipping regions, return policy) in the producer dashboard. ProductIndex's managed agent responds to RFQs on your behalf automatically.
Best for: producers who want agent marketplace exposure without building an agent endpoint.
Producer verification
Verified producers can claim products on ProductIndex and gain full access to the RFQ system, catalog upload, and the agent marketplace. Verification supports:
- DNS domain verification — add a TXT record to your domain
- Admin email verification — verify via the domain's admin address
- Shopify OAuth — verified automatically when you install the plugin
- Document upload — for manufacturers without a matching domain
Submitted specifications and images go through an editorial review queue before going live.
Why now?
AI assistants are becoming the default shopping interface. The brands indexed early get the search results; late arrivals compete on price alone. ProductIndex is where that index lives.
Every day a consumer asks Claude or Grok to recommend a product in your category, they get a result. The question is whether your products are in it.
Pricing
ProductIndex is free to join. We earn when you earn — a small commission on verified purchases made through ProductIndex, tracked via your affiliate token. No subscription. No upfront cost. No credit card required to get started.
List products, claim your catalog, configure your agent, and receive RFQs at no cost. Your first conversions are on us while we validate the attribution flow together.
Once attribution is established via your purchase URL, a small commission applies to verified transactions routed through ProductIndex. Commission rates are set individually during early access — reach out to discuss terms.
?pi_ref=CLICK_ID) is appended to the
purchase URL. When the sale completes, your server calls
POST /api/attribution/conversion with the pi_ref and order value.
ProductIndex matches the conversion to the originating click and records the commission.
This is a standard server-to-server postback — no checkout redirection through ProductIndex,
no third-party cookies, and you remain the merchant of record.
