What gets added on droplinked
After you connect, droplinked maintains:- A read-only mirror of your catalog inside droplinked InventoryOS
- A per-merchant MCP surface at
mcp.droplinked.com/{shop-slug}/...(live today) - Inclusion in the ACP feed at
apiv3.droplinked.com/feed/acp.json - A Schema A brand attestation (operator-gated — see below)
- Lender-routing recommendations via
GET /v2/lender-routing/recommend - Optional affiliate-network participation with x402 settlement
droplinked.com (merchant dashboard) and exposes the per-merchant MCP at

The InventoryOS bridge
InventoryOS is droplinked’s cross-channel inventory layer. When you connect Shopify, the bridge between Shopify and InventoryOS runs by a few simple rules:- Shopify is source of truth for stock. Droplinked maintains a mirror; we never authoritatively claim a unit you didn’t tell us about.
- Order events from Shopify decrement droplinked’s view. A
orders/createwebhook updates the mirrored stock level — the next agent query sees the same number Shopify would have returned. - Catalog sync is one-way by default. Droplinked never overwrites your Shopify catalog — title, price, description, images all flow Shopify → droplinked, not the other way. Two-way sync is opt-in and scoped per-field.
- Conflict resolution. When the same product attribute is set in both systems, Shopify wins on price / title / description / images. Droplinked annotates the mirrored record with attestation metadata (Schema A brand link, Schema C repayment history) the agents consume.
- Read more. A dedicated
/concepts/inventory-osdeep-dive is coming. Until then, the platform model and for-merchants concept page describe how the inventory layer fits the rest of the stack.
Agentic distribution flow
How an agent goes from your Shopify storefront URL to a checked-out order: The point: agents discover and route; Shopify still owns the transaction. The buyer checks out on your storefront, against your Shopify Payments, with your tax and shipping rules. Droplinked only sees the order event after Shopify writes it.Optimal financing — the lender-routing pitch
Stripe Capital is excellent — for merchants Stripe wants to fund off its own balance sheet. Outside that envelope (different jurisdiction, different methodology fit, larger ticket, faster turnaround), you’re on your own. Droplinked’s LenderRegistry surfaces an ecosystem of licensed lenders and DeFi treasuries (CredibleX in the UAE, Valinor Vault as a global DeFi vault, more in onboarding) and routes you to the right one based on:- Jurisdiction.
GET /v2/lender-routing/recommend?jurisdiction=AEreturns exact-jurisdiction matches first, thenGLOBALfallbacks, sorted by track record. - Methodology fit. Your underwriting methodology is pinned in a Schema B credit-risk attestation — verifiers and downstream lenders can verify it cryptographically.
- Repayment history. Schema C attestations accrue across Shopify orders + droplinked orders + any other channel you wire in. Track record stays with you, not with a single PSP.
- Tier upgrades. Use
/v2/upgrade-previewto preview what the next financing tier requires — drives a tight feedback loop on the metrics that move you forward.
Optional: brand attestation
Schema A brand attestations are issued operator-gated. They make your brand cryptographically verifiable — an agent that sees “Your Brand” in a product feed can verify the on-chain attestation rather than trust a string match. To request one, emailsupport@droplinked.com with your droplinked merchant ID and brand
materials. Once issued:
- Your brand slug binds to your wallet — impostor merchants can’t claim it
- Verifiers (agents, downstream lenders, partners) can verify with a single read
- The Schema A attestation surfaces in agent discovery as a “verified brand” badge
What’s coming
A realistic roadmap — what’s live today is the integration above; these are the next upgrades, in roughly the order we’ll ship them:- A direct Shopify App Store listing (replaces the webhook-config dance in Step 1)
- Auto-sync product images and variant matrices into InventoryOS (today we sync the product record; rich media follows)
- Two-way inventory sync (opt-in, per-field) so you can run droplinked-side promotional edits and have them flow back into Shopify
- WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and Magento adapters — same five-step pattern, different webhook surfaces
- Customer-account cross-channel reconciliation so a buyer’s Shopify-side order history and droplinked-side affiliate history live behind one identity

Other platforms
The same five-step pattern works for the rest of the ecosystem — the webhook surface changes per platform, the droplinked side is identical:- WooCommerce — WooCommerce REST API webhooks at
wp-json/wc/v3/webhooks(dedicated guide coming at/agentic/connect-woocommerce) - BigCommerce — V3 Webhooks API (
stores/{hash}/v3/hooks) (dedicated guide coming at/agentic/connect-bigcommerce) - Magento / Adobe Commerce — Magento webhook module or a thin adapter against the REST catalog API (dedicated guide coming)
- Custom Next.js / React / headless storefronts — register your own webhook emitter
