Lutecia

How it works

Lutecia makes an online store available to AI agents. An agent can search the store's products, build a cart and place the order. Orders are created in the store itself, at its prices, and appear in the back office with the others. The customer pays inside the agent, on the merchant's Stripe account. Shipping follows the store's usual process.

Without that connection, an agent knows a store from crawled pages, a copy taken the day the crawler passed. It can describe a product from that copy. It cannot check the price or the stock, and it cannot send the store an order. Lutecia connects the store itself, through the Universal Commerce Protocol, an open standard from Google and Shopify that Gemini, Google AI Mode and Copilot use. ChatGPT reads a product file instead. Lutecia prepares it from the catalog, and ChatGPT shows the products and sends the shopper to the store.

Today this works for WooCommerce stores, with the merchant's Stripe account. Setup is a plugin from WordPress.org. The protocols are still evolving. Lutecia updates the connection as they change, with no work on the merchant's side.

Questions

What do I have to do?

Install the plugin from your store's admin, approve the connection and connect your Stripe account.

Who does the customer buy from?

You. The order is created in your store, under your terms of sale, the payment goes to your Stripe account, and the customer's details go to your admin.

Does this slow my store down?

No. Assistants talk to Lutecia, not to your store. Your store keeps serving its visitors as it does today.

AI agents already crawl my site. Do I need this?

Yes. A crawler works from a copy of your pages, and the agent can only describe what it saw there. It cannot check the price or the stock with your store, and it cannot place an order. That is why the platforms built open standards for stores to connect directly. Connected, the agent gets your products from your store, accurate and up to date, and it can place the order.

What does it cost?

Nothing for now: the service is free while Lutecia works with its first merchants. Any paid plan will be announced to connected merchants before it applies, with the option to disconnect first.

Can I disconnect?

Yes, one click from your admin. Assistants stop seeing your store.

What if an AI platform changes its requirements?

We handle the change. You do not have to do anything, and your store stays available to agents.
