UCP for WooCommerce
Let compatible commerce agents discover a live WooCommerce catalog from the store that owns it. Bridge publishes a UCP discovery profile and bounded catalog access on your domain, while your existing WooCommerce checkout remains the checkout.
What this solves
Agents need a reliable way to learn what a store can expose before they search it. Without one, they are left to guess from page markup, generic APIs or stale copies. UCP provides a discovery convention; Bridge makes the relevant catalog capability visible alongside the store's live data.
Discovery, not a checkout claim
Bridge serves a profile at /.well-known/ucp and describes catalog search and lookup. It does not claim to provide a complete UCP transaction stack, payment token exchange or an agent-operated checkout. A purchase continues through the merchant's own WooCommerce flow.
Live catalog facts, owned by the merchant
Search and product lookup resolve against WooCommerce at request time. Compatible agents can retrieve product identity, variants, price and availability from the merchant's domain instead of relying on a copied catalog or screen scraping.
How it fits with the rest of the store
- WooCommerce remains authoritative. Products, inventory, prices and checkout are not moved to a third-party catalog.
- Agent access is bounded. The public catalog surface is read-only and rate-limited; administrative WooCommerce credentials are never published.
- Catalog quality still matters. Discovery makes an interface findable, not a weak product record trustworthy. Use the readiness report to improve missing fields.
UCP and ARC are complementary
UCP is useful for declaring capabilities and connecting commerce layers. ARC is KaliCart's catalog-legibility contract: discovery, compact search, explicit offer facts and a handoff to merchant checkout. They meet at the catalog, without pretending that discovery alone completes a transaction.

What Bridge does not promise
Installing a plugin cannot guarantee that any assistant, platform or marketplace will index, rank or transact with a store. UCP support is an interoperable discovery signal and catalog surface. Eligibility, agent behavior and checkout capabilities remain decisions of the relevant platform and the merchant.
