The buyer pays on a private page, so a person completes each purchase. No status page, security.txt or registered seller address was found on agentzon.co, and 34 of 500 listed items cannot be bought.\n\n**BigCommerce API + MCP.** Published rate limits per plan, with X-Rate-Limit-Time-Reset-Ms on every 429. Storefront MCP is beta, switched on per store, has no back-office tools and documents no tool annotations.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Agentzon\n\n1. Search with GET /api/products. Use only items with checkoutAvailable true and a non-null unitAmount, because a null price means unavailable, never free\n2. Send every item and quantity in one POST /api/checkout, with a new Idempotency-Key for each purchase attempt and the same key only to retry that basket\n3. Show the buyer the product image from /api/products/{id}/image and get their approval before opening the checkout URL\n4. Tell the buyer that catalogue prices exclude sales tax, that shipping is U.S. only and that change-of-mind returns exclude hygiene and food items\n5. Keep the checkout URL and the orderToken private. A paid status confirms payment, not shipment\n\n### BigCommerce API + MCP\n\n1. Give the agent a store-level API account with only the scopes the task needs, and delete it when done\n2. On a 429, wait X-Rate-Limit-Time-Reset-Ms before retrying\n3. Expect up to 10 minutes after a store owner enables the MCP before the URL answers\n4. The MCP stops at a checkout URL. Payment happens in the shopper's browser\n5.
