Products appear only after Snipcart crawls your page's buy buttons, so no page means no catalogue. One key per mode reaches the whole account, and with no OAuth the docs say web clients can't connect. The hosted MCP allows 100 requests a minute and 10 in flight per key, REST limits are unpublished bar discount listing at 10 a minute, and errors are \"a JSON error body on 4xx\".

Products appear only after Snipcart crawls your page's buy buttons, so no page means no catalogue. One key per mode reaches the whole account, and with no OAuth the docs say web clients can't connect. The hosted MCP allows 100 requests a minute and 10 in flight per key, REST limits are unpublished bar discount listing at 10 a minute, and errors are \"a JSON error body on 4xx\". Webhooks cover orders and subscriptions. Two because the back office is one line away and the sale, the thing a commerce agent is for, only happens in a browser."
