AI Agent Ready · UCP · MCP
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.
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.
For merchants
Install → activate → discoverable. No settings screen: 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. Being readable today is a one-click head start over your competitors.
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.
# 1. Discover — the manifest is the entry point curl -s https://demo.fondouk.dev/.well-known/ucp
# 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.

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.
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, with request quotas on your UCP/MCP endpoints. Human visitors are never affected.
Compliance by design
CSV export, configurable retention, purge and GDPR hooks. IP addresses are hashed (SHA-256), 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 or MCP — the open standards behind agentic commerce on Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude. 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.
