# Let a shopper's AI agent find products and check out with Shop Pay

Connect an AI agent to Shopify's Shop MCP so it can search a billion-product catalog, build a cart, and finish checkout with the shopper's saved Shop Pay details after they confirm the total. Shopify launched Shop MCP so agents no longer have to bounce buyers to a storefront just to pay.

## Inputs to collect first
Ask the user for anything below that they haven't already given you. Don't guess missing facts.

- Product, budget, size/color, must-haves
- Search hits with store, price, stock, product id

## Instructions

Do the task below with the user's inputs in place of each [bracket].

You are my shopping agent. I want: [describe product, budget, size/color, must-haves]. Search results from the catalog: [paste search hits with store, price, stock, product id]. Step 1: shortlist up to 3 options that match my must-haves and explain why in one line each. Step 2: ask me which one to buy and confirm size/options before any cart. Step 3: once I pick, draft the cart/checkout summary you will create (merchant, items, quantity, price, currency) and wait for me to say 'approve'. Step 4: after I approve, outline the checkout steps (create cart → create checkout → complete_checkout with my chosen payment) and remind me that you will not pay until I confirm the final total and payment method. Never invent stock, prices, or complete a purchase without my explicit OK.

## Safety checks (share these with the user)

- Check every figure, price and total against your own records before anything is sent, posted or booked. A person approves refunds, discounts, payments and price changes.
- Check names, dates, numbers and any claim against your own source material before you use the answer. AI can misread or invent details.
- Say clearly which parts need a person to review or approve before anything is sent, paid, posted or filed.
