Is your online store readable by AI agents?
ChatGPT, Perplexity or a shopping assistant already browse online catalogs. What a PrestaShop store must expose to exist in these new buying journeys.
By the Synapsea team · · 1 min read
Buying journeys are changing: a customer asks an assistant to compare three products, and the assistant goes and reads the catalogs. A store that agents cannot read does not appear in the answer.
What an agent reads
Not your home page: structured data, a cleanly exposed catalog, accurate information on prices, stock and shipping. Open protocols such as UCP and MCP formalize these exchanges.
Three things to check
- Structured data on every product page (schema.org Product, Offer).
- An access point to the catalog designed for agents, not only for browsers.
- Freshness: a wrong stock level or an outdated price, and the agent will stop citing you.
This is the problem we solve with Fondouk, our PrestaShop module. But the logic applies to any platform.
