Yes — making your store visible to agents is free forever, under the MIT license. A paid extension for selling through agents (cart, checkout) will come later: you pay when money flows, not to be seen.

Your store, welcoming to AI agents.

Shoppers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity where to buy. If your store can’t answer them, it doesn’t exist for them. Fondouk makes your catalog readable by AI agents — free, read-only, in one click.

Install the module See the live demo

Available today for PrestaShop 8–9. The core is platform-agnostic — Shopify, WooCommerce and Symfony adapters are next.

Why “Fondouk”

A fondouk (فندق) was the caravanserai where travelling merchants were housed — the place a town welcomed the agents who came in from the road. A fitting name for a module that opens your storefront to those who come to trade, human or AI.

Merchants

For merchants

Install → activate → discoverable. Nothing to configure: the module reads your catalog and presents it to AI agents automatically.

Install once, in one click

Drop the module into your back office and activate. Products, sizes, colours, stock and prices are generated by introspection of your store — nothing to configure.

Public stays public

What an anonymous visitor sees on your storefront is what an agent sees. No customer data, no B2B prices, no orders placed on your behalf. Strictly read-only.

Real-time prices & stock

Agents read the exact prices and availability of your storefront, computed in an anonymous-visitor context — always current, never a stale feed.

Ahead of the wave

AI shopping surfaces are rolling out now across Google, ChatGPT and Perplexity, starting in the United States. Being readable today is a one-click head start over your competitors.

Developers

For developers & agents

Open standards, endpoint discovered from the manifest — never hard-coded. UCP over REST and MCP, every response validated against the published schemas.

agent · discovery

# 1. Discover — the manifest is the entry point
curl -s https://demo.fondouk.dev/.well-known/ucp

agent · catalog.search

# 2. Search — endpoint read from the manifest
curl -s -X POST https://demo.fondouk.dev/fondouk/ucp/catalog/search \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"query":"t-shirt","pagination":{"limit":2}}'

Decoupled core + adapters architecture, reusable beyond PrestaShop. The same Capability Graph feeds REST and MCP. Read the Blueprint.

In action

See it working

Real screens — the module’s back office and live responses from the public demo. Not mockups.

In your back office — Fondouk — **In your back office** — The module’s only screen — a real diagnostic (HTTPS, friendly URLs, agent endpoints). Install → activate → done.

Live UCP manifest — Fondouk — **Live UCP manifest** — The discovery document an agent reads at /.well-known/ucp — served live by the demo store.

Live catalog search — Fondouk — **Live catalog search** — A real POST to the demo returns public, tax-inclusive prices (in cents), variants and stock — schema-compliant.

Fondouk Pro

See the agents. Control them.

The free module makes your store readable. Fondouk Pro adds a back-office dashboard — which AI agents visit, what they look at, and per-agent rules — with GDPR-safe analytics. It serves the agent surface while the free module quietly stands by.

The Fondouk Pro dashboard on the live demo store: agent accesses, families, latency and visits per day.

Agent analytics

Real agent traffic in your back office: recognised families (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Applebot…), most-viewed products, latency, and the structured-vs-storefront adoption ratio.

Per-agent control

Allow, throttle or block by agent family — as agents identify themselves — with request quotas on your UCP/MCP endpoints. A policy for well-behaved agents, not a security barrier. Human visitors are never affected.

Compliance by design

CSV export, configurable retention, purge and GDPR hooks. IP addresses are pseudonymised with a salted SHA-256 hash, never stored in clear text.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers for merchants and developers — the same content agents read in our structured data.

What is UCP?

UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) is an open standard — published by Google, Shopify and Walmart — that lets AI agents discover and query a store’s catalog. Fondouk implements the stable 2026-04-08 release and validates every response against its published JSON Schemas.

Is it compatible with PrestaShop 1.7?

No — Fondouk targets PrestaShop 8.0 to 9.2. It uses the module front-controller mechanism common to both branches, so a single module works across PrestaShop 8 and 9.

Is it really free?

Yes — making your store visible to agents is free forever, under the MIT license. For merchants who want more, Fondouk Pro adds a paid back-office dashboard — agent analytics, per-agent control and GDPR tools, on PrestaShop Addons — while the free module always stays free.

What data is exposed to AI agents?

Only what an anonymous visitor already sees on your storefront — public products, tax-inclusive prices and stock. Prices are computed in an anonymous-customer context, so customer data, B2B prices and orders are never exposed. The module is strictly read-only.

How do I check it works?

Read the manifest with curl -s https://demo.fondouk.dev/.well-known/ucp. It advertises the endpoint and capabilities; you can then POST a search to the catalog endpoint and see live products and prices.

Does it slow my store down?

No — Fondouk ships with response caching (invalidated by product hooks) and token-bucket rate limiting (60 req/min, burst 120), proven to keep the store responsive under agent crawl on both PrestaShop 8 and 9.

Which AI assistants can read my store?

Any agent that speaks UCP (the commerce protocol backed by Google) or MCP (the standard used by assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT). Because Fondouk implements the published spec rather than a private API, new compliant agents work with no change on your side.

Do I need to maintain a product feed?

No — there is no feed to export or keep in sync. Agents query your store live through the manifest, so prices and stock are always the ones on your storefront at that moment.
