Verdicts

Agentzon

Public OpenAPI 3.1 description and llms.txt, with a whole-basket checkout that needs no account or key. 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.

WooCommerce API + MCP

Free GPL software with no platform fee or revenue share. Uptime, speed and security depend on each store's host and plugins. No vendor status page.

Before you call either

Agentzon

  1. Search with GET /api/products. Use only items with checkoutAvailable true and a non-null unitAmount, because a null price means unavailable, never free
  2. 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
  3. Show the buyer the product image from /api/products/{id}/image and get their approval before opening the checkout URL
  4. 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
  5. Keep the checkout URL and the orderToken private. A paid status confirms payment, not shipment

WooCommerce API + MCP

  1. Create a REST key with read permission only for reporting tasks, and send it in the Authorization header, never the URL
  2. Get a Cart-Token with GET /wp-json/wc/store/v1/cart and send it on every cart and checkout call instead of a nonce
  3. Add _fields=id,name,price to REST calls to cut response size
  4. Page with per_page up to 100 and stop at X-WP-TotalPages
  5. Product delete only trashes unless you pass force true, so check the trash before assuming it's gone
