Shoppers no longer need to visit your website to buy from you. ChatGPT, Gemini and Meta Muse connect to your store directly. They read your product feed for stock, prices, promotions and what each product does, and customers check out in the chat. Unlike a marketplace, you stay the seller, so the order and the customer relationship stay with you. With over 15 years of Shopify and CPG experience, Barrel makes sure your feed describes your catalog completely and accurately, so these AI assistants recommend your products and send the order to your store.
A shopper describes what they need, the AI assistant shows matching products with a buy button, and checkout runs through protocols such as Google's Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) and OpenAI's Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP). The brand's website may never load.
The customer still makes the choice, but the data the assistant can read decides which products and which store appear with the buy button: product feeds, structured data, pricing, stock and checkout eligibility. A retailer or marketplace with cleaner data for your products gets the buy button instead of your store.

We build and repair product feeds for ChatGPT, Google and other agent platforms, map the fields each one expects, and confirm they are ingested without errors.
Agents compare products on attributes such as ingredients, sizes, materials and use cases. We fill those in so your products are judged on complete, accurate data.
UCP, ChatGPT checkout and Shopify's agentic channels each need setup on your store. We configure them so a purchase that starts in an AI assistant is completed on your store.
Agents check price, availability and shipping against more than one source. We align your Product and Offer schema with your feeds so those details match everywhere an agent looks.
We structure product pages, FAQs and policies so agents can read and cite them, while keeping the brand experience your customers see.
Reporting shows how agents represent your products, where they send shoppers and which orders come from AI channels. We refine your catalog as the protocols change.
We pair 15+ years of Shopify Plus and consumer brand experience with insights from our DTC Patterns research to decide which data, content and checkout changes matter most in your category.
The work extends our GEO practice. Once GEO has your brand appearing in AI answers, agentic commerce makes sure a shopper who decides to buy checks out on your store.

We assess your catalog, feeds and checkout setup against the specifications AI agents rely on, and benchmark where your products appear in AI shopping answers compared with retailers. You get a prioritized list of gaps.
We fix product data, enrich attributes, and configure the feeds each AI platform ingests, then monitor them until they are accepted.
Agent checkout goes live on your Shopify Plus store through UCP, ACP and Shopify's agentic channels, with pricing, inventory and fulfillment rules agents can act on. Platforms we prepare for: ChatGPT shopping and checkout, Google Gemini and AI Mode, and Meta Muse.
We track AI citations, referrals and agent-driven orders, onboard new SKUs, and update your setup as the protocols and platforms evolve.
