Shopify · Agent-readiness audit
Cartable reads the public pages an agent actually fetches and scores your Shopify store from 0 to 100. You see which of the 13 checks failed, why, and the theme code to fix them.
01 — How it works
Built for the person who owns the store, and for the agency who has to fix the theme. The audit is the same either way.
Any public store. No login, no Shopify app, no tag on the theme. The checks are written for Shopify; other platforms still get a report, with the Shopify-only checks marked failed.
About 13 requests, spaced out: homepage, robots.txt, sitemap, catalog, one product, policy pages, and a single add-to-cart. We never open checkout.
A score out of 100, every check marked passed, partial, or failed, and the fixes ordered by the points they return. Snippets are there to copy.
02 — The 13 checks
Each check has a weight. A partial pass counts for part of that weight. The score is the weighted result, divided by 106, times 100, rounded.
32 points. Can an agent find the catalog at all?
GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, Claude-User, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, and CCBot are not disallowed from product URLs. Cart, checkout, and account can stay closed. A missing robots.txt scores half, not zero.
A short markdown file at /llms.txt. Shopify’s auto-generated default scores half. A custom file scores full. Missing, or an HTML page at that URL, scores zero.
The sitemap named in robots.txt, or /sitemap.xml, loads and includes product URLs. A sitemap with no product URLs scores half.
/products.json returns products. Agents use this when the theme HTML is awkward to parse.
53 points. Can it read price, availability, and policies without running the theme?
/products/<handle>.js returns variants for a real product. We prefer one that is in stock and not a gift card.
The product page includes Product schema with price, currency, availability, SKU or GTIN, image, and brand. Each of those is an equal slice of this check.
The product name, a price, and an add-to-cart control are in the raw HTML. Many agents do not run theme JavaScript.
og:title, og:image, og:price:amount, og:price:currency, and og:type=product.
A shipping page and a returns page exist, and the product schema includes MerchantReturnPolicy and shippingDetails. Pages alone are half of this check.
The homepage JSON-LD names the business and the site. Each half is its own points.
21 points. Can it put one unit in a session cart?
POST /cart/add.js accepts one unit of one variant. We never continue to checkout. A 422 scores partial. A block, or no Shopify endpoint, scores zero.
Half the points are response time, half are HTML weight. Under about 800ms and 300KB scores full. Slower than 2 seconds, or heavier than 800KB, scores zero on that half.
The homepage and the product page return the store, not a CAPTCHA or an interstitial challenge.
Field note · 14 October 2026
42 of 52. That count is from our audit that day. A footer link a person can click is not the same thing as return and shipping terms an agent can read on the product. The check above is the one that looks for both.
This is a finding from our audit, not a customer count. We are not publishing the brand list here.
03 — Pricing
Agencies: one Fix Pack per store. There is no bundle price. Checkout is not open yet, so the buy buttons explain that instead of charging you.

04 — Questions
It is a weighted average of 13 public checks, scaled to 100. The checks ask whether an AI shopping agent can find your products, read price, availability, and policies, and add one item to a session cart. Weights are listed on each check and sum to 106. The score is not a certification and not a ranking against other stores.
No. The audit requests public pages and, when the store allows it, adds one unit of one variant to a session cart. It never opens checkout, never pays, and never changes your theme. Fix Pack code is something you install yourself.
You can submit any public store URL. The catalog feed, per-product JSON, and cart/add.js checks are Shopify-specific. If Shopify is not detected, those checks fail and the report says so.
About 10 to 15 seconds. The server makes roughly 13 requests, with a short pause between them: the homepage, robots.txt, llms.txt, the sitemap, the catalog, one product, and the policy pages, plus one add-to-cart. The pause is there so the audit stays polite.
The audit is free: the score, every check, why it passed or failed, and generic snippets when the public page gives us enough to draft one. The Fix Pack is 49 US dollars once: Liquid snippets for your store, product and return and shipping schema, Open Graph price tags, Organization and WebSite schema, a custom llms.txt with test products filtered, and a step-by-step install PDF. Monitor is 19 US dollars a month: a weekly re-check of the same product, alerts if schema, robots, or cart breaks, and a score trend with regenerated fixes. Checkout is not open yet.
It is our count from 14 October 2026: 42 of 52 top Shopify brands do not tell AI agents their return or shipping terms. It is a finding from that audit, not a customer statistic. A policy page a person can click is not the same as return and shipping terms an agent can read on the product.
There is no account. The site does not set analytics cookies. On the hosted site, an audit response for the same URL may be cached at the edge for about an hour. Rate limiting, six audits per ten minutes per IP, is held in memory on the function. If you submit an email, we log it with the store name so we can follow up. See the privacy page for how to ask us to delete it.
Yes. The free audit is the same tool. The Fix Pack is priced per store. There is no agency plan and no bundle price.
Six audits are allowed per ten minutes from one IP, and a URL without a domain returns an error. If the store rate-limits or blocks the fetch, the report says the score is inconclusive instead of treating a bot wall as a failed theme. Wait briefly and try again.
05 — Privacy
It reads public pages of the URL you submit. When the store allows it, it adds one unit of one product to a session cart. It does not check out, pay, create an account, or edit the theme.
If you leave an email, we keep it with the store name so we can follow up. We don’t sell addresses, and this site doesn’t set analytics cookies. The longer version is on the privacy page.
