citelayer® Pro for WooCommerce — AI Commerce Visibility
citelayer® Pro for WooCommerce enables AI agents to browse your shop, add items to cart, and complete purchases — using the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP), the open standard backed by Google. On top of full UCP support, the plugin adds WooCommerce-specific Schema.org extensions and an AI-optimized product description field. Requires citelayer® Free Plugin.

AI agents are becoming shopping assistants. Is your WooCommerce store ready?
When someone asks ChatGPT “find me a lightweight running jacket under €80,” the model doesn’t open a browser and search Google. It queries shops and data sources it has been given structured access to. Without a machine-readable commerce interface, your WooCommerce store is simply not in the room.
citelayer® Pro for WooCommerce implements the full stack that AI agents need to interact with your shop — from product discovery to checkout — using open, documented standards.
Full UCP Support (Universal Commerce Protocol)
The Universal Commerce Protocol is an open standard for AI-to-commerce communication. It defines how an AI agent can browse a product catalogue, read product details (including stock, pricing, and variants), add items to a cart, and initiate checkout — all programmatically, without rendering HTML.
citelayer® Pro implements the full UCP specification for WooCommerce:
- Product Browsing: AI agents can query your catalogue by category, tag, price range, and availability
- Cart Management: agents can build and modify carts on behalf of users
- Checkout Initiation: agents hand off a prepared cart to a human-verified checkout flow
This is not a proprietary API. UCP is an open standard, which means any AI platform that supports it can interact with your shop — today and as the ecosystem grows.
WebMCP context.json (Model Context Protocol)
The Model Context Protocol (MCP), developed by Anthropic and now widely adopted, defines how AI models discover what tools and data sources are available to them. citelayer® Pro publishes a context.json file at the WebMCP endpoint, describing your shop’s capabilities in a format that MCP-compatible agents can read.
Advanced WooCommerce Schema.org Extensions
Beyond the base schemas in citelayer® Free, Pro adds:
- AggregateRating — structured reviews that language models can surface in recommendations
- Brand — explicit brand attribution for product pages
- Extended Offers — includes shipping cost, delivery time, and availability state
- FAQPage — structured FAQs that AI assistants can cite verbatim
AI Visibility Dashboard Widget
The dashboard widget tracks how your WooCommerce store is currently being represented across the four major AI platforms: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity. It shows visibility scores by product category and flags gaps.
AI-Optimized Product Descriptions
Each WooCommerce product gets a dedicated field for AI-optimized copy. This is separate from your standard product description — it’s structured for machine comprehension rather than human reading. Concise, factual, attribute-dense.
Advanced UCP Configuration
Not every product should be exposed to every AI agent. citelayer® Pro gives you granular control:
- Exposure Rules: include or exclude products, categories, or price tiers from UCP access
- Pricing Rules: configure whether AI agents see regular, sale, or negotiated pricing
- Inventory Thresholds: prevent UCP from exposing low-stock products
Requires citelayer® Free Plugin (available free from wordpress.org).
