Vendor profile, commerce platform
WooCommerce
In short
WooCommerce, the WordPress commerce plugin, lets assistants read a store's catalogue and order status through the WordPress Abilities API, and keeps a public table of protocol status that it says it will update. Each store keeps its own gateway and moves to new protocols when it chooses. Its AI feature is in private beta.
