Rye allows you to even enter shipping info and pay for the product. But I can't help but feel it hasn't got the traction it deserves.
1) Are there plans to allow Devs to do the same?
2) why wouldn't you open the limit beyond 1000 free as long as you are making a rev share
3) does this pick from Shopify products/stores?
Imo the agentic loop isn't really closed unless you allow agents to pay and paywalls today aren't agent friendly. Tokenized cards, 16 digital cards. Perhaps but this involves high trust from users. Which means you are left with guiding users to the link and hoping they buy the product.
4) partnering with merchants where cards are already tokenized maybe your best converting potential customer base. But it's easy to do evil here, or loose trust without guardrails.
5) I would come up with a process to incentivize adding products to the ecosystem. However tiny the reward.
Lot of opportunity. Nice pitch. Good luck!
Would try this out of you can increase the 1k limit to something that is a win:win
Rye is an awesome company! They're in the universal checkout space now, stay tuned for a Rye + Channel3 demo in the next week :) We think the combo of product discovery with Channel3 and universal checkout is the future of commerce. To answer your questions:
1. Channel3 doesn't support shipping/payments, but there are a lot of great companies that do, so Channel3 + universal checkout is a full-fledged e-comm site. 2. We hope our pricing ($7/1000 req) is low enough that any reasonably-converting store won't need to worry about it. Average e-commerce order value is $180, so at 5% commissions you need <1 sale per 1000 queries. We're cheaper than any alternative, and, with rev share, we pay you to use us! (+ vector store is expensive :) ) 3. We do have shopify stores on our platform 4. An interesting idea! We're excited to see how agentic commerce evolves, and for now we're just trying to build the best discovery solution out there.
