Agentcard (YC) launched opencommerce, pitched as 'OpenRouter for commerce': a single tool that lets a developer's AI agent search, fill a basket, check out and track orders across what its site says are 5,026 online stores, including Amazon, DoorDash and most Shopify stores, for 1% of each completed order. Our check: partly fact. The SDK and pricing are live, but the stores aren't partners; it checks out using the shopper's own logged-in sessions, Amazon's terms forbid agents getting round its checks, and merchants are 'mostly US today', so UK stores aren't confirmed. Its own pages give differing speed claims.

Why it mattersIt's for companies building agents, not a consumer app. If you test it, use a small order, approve every purchase and don't connect your main Amazon account.
