Your checklist for getting products recommended via Google’s UCP

Agentic Commerce is changing the way people shop online: instead of searching and ordering themselves, AI agents take over these tasks autonomously. They compare products, make purchasing decisions, and complete transactions on behalf of the user.

For this to work, AI agents need a common language. The Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) is exactly that: an open standard developed by Google, Shopify, and industry leaders including Etsy, Wayfair, Target, and Walmart. It enables AI agents to discover products, initiate checkouts, and manage orders without requiring custom integrations for every connection, given your infrastructure is ready.
