The catalog becomes the interface
When agents build the shopping experience, the fixed web page is no longer the only interface. The catalog itself must carry meaning: product identity, variants, availability, price, category, provenance, and handoff URLs.
What must be computable
- Product identity: stable IDs, names, canonical URLs, and merchant attribution.
- Variant logic: sizes, stock, price changes, and normalized options.
- Discovery context: categories, descriptions, images, freshness, and searchability.
- Trust boundaries: clear distinction between public catalog data and private merchant access.
How Kalicart fits
Kalicart connects to existing commerce platforms, normalizes product data, and publishes a structured, read-only discovery layer. The merchant keeps the storefront and checkout; Kalicart makes the catalog more legible to AI systems and search infrastructure.
What stays with the merchant
Payment, order creation, fulfillment, customer service, and merchant-of-record responsibilities remain on the merchant platform. Kalicart supports discovery and handoff, not transaction processing.
