Commerce is going agentic. Runtype gets you there faster.
AI agents that shop, recommend, and buy on behalf of users represent a $1.7 trillion market by 2030. Building production-ready commerce agents requires purpose-built infrastructure. That is exactly what Runtype provides.
Protocol Complexity
ACP, UCP, AP2, MCP, A2A, TAP. Runtype abstracts the protocol layer so you integrate once and reach every standard your merchants and customers need.
Commerce Complexity
Agentic product search, cart management, checkout flows, and order tracking require purpose-built tooling. Runtype simplifies this.
Customer Confidence
Shoppers want AI assistance but also want oversight. Runtype's human-in-the-loop architecture builds trust by keeping customers informed and in control at every step.
The building blocks for production commerce agents.
Runtype gives you pre-built steps, commerce integrations, approval workflows, and multi-channel deployment so you focus on making the best possible shopping experience.

Connect Any Commerce Backend
Connect to BigCommerce, Shopify, Stripe, WooCommerce, or any commerce platform via custom MCP servers, REST APIs, or webhooks. One agent works across every backend you use.
Human-in-the-Loop Transactions
Configure which actions require approval before execution. Agents pause, present the transaction details, and wait for the customer to confirm, then resume automatically.
Flexible Catalog Interactions
Enable vector search for semantic product discovery. Store catalog preferences in Runtype Records as a fast cache. Read from the FE. Customers describe what they want, your agent finds it.
Agent-to-Agent Delegation
Easily connect specialized agents you've already built via Runtype's A2A protocol support. Get all the value of Runtype Surfaces and Product Evals without a rebuild.
From discovery to checkout. Ready to launch.
Easily build out unique experiences conversationally, in the dashboard, or with the SDK. When a brand requires something unique, you'll be ready to deliver.
Product Discovery
Customers describe what they need. Your agent searches the catalog with vector search, filters by availability and price via transform-data steps, and presents relevant options.
Vector search → Transform-data → Send stream
Cart & Checkout
Agent builds the cart, applies discount logic in sandboxed code, calls the payment API, then pauses for customer approval before charging. No surprises.
API call → Transform-data → Approval gate → API call
Order Management
Customers check order status, request returns, or modify shipments through conversation. Agent fetches data from your commerce backend and takes action on approval.
Fetch URL → Conditional → Approval gate → API call
Catalog Sync
Scheduled flows pull inventory updates from your commerce platform, batch-upsert product records, and regenerate embeddings. Your agent always has current data.
Schedule → Fetch URL → Upsert record → Generate embedding
Developers build faster. Everyone gets to market.
