# Introduction

> Build commerce — and agentic commerce — on Droplinked.

Droplinked is commerce infrastructure. Merchants publish inventory, customers buy it on
storefronts, and AI agents increasingly discover and purchase it on the buyer's behalf. These
docs are the single source of truth for building on the platform — the REST API, the agentic
commerce layer (MCP + Stripe ACP), and the concepts that tie them together.

## What you can build

* **Storefronts & commerce** — read public catalogs, build carts, run checkout, place orders
  across physical, digital, and print-on-demand inventory.
* **Merchant tooling** — manage shops, products, collections, pricing, and shipping profiles.
* **Payments** — accept card (Stripe), PayPal, regional PSPs, and **crypto/stablecoin** settlement,
  turnkey per the shop's configured payment methods.
* **Agentic distribution** — project a merchant's existing inventory into AI agent surfaces
  (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor) with the MCP server, the Stripe ACP feed, and on-chain affiliate splits.

and surfaces, then run the [quickstart](/quickstart). Building an agent integration? Jump to
