Launching Shop CLI

Shop CLI: A Tool Built for AI Agents, Not Humans

TL;DR: Shop CLI is a command-line tool that lets AI agents search, compare, and place orders within spending limits you configure. You set the mandate once. The agent operates within it. Your card credentials never touch the agent — Stripe and Shopify hold them. Install: pip install shop-cli.


I’ve been building at the edge of agentic commerce for three months. The infrastructure question I kept hitting: can an agent actually complete a purchase, end-to-end, without a human in the loop?

Most “AI shopping” I’ve seen is an agent generating recommendations while a human clicks buy. That’s not agentic commerce. That’s research with extra steps. The agent isn’t completing anything. You are.
