Can AI agents buy from your WooCommerce store?

What CRAB tests on WooCommerce

• Whether the requested product is discoverable from the public storefront and identified unambiguously on its page.
• Whether product variations can be enumerated and the intended variation selected, including where a plugin or theme replaces the default variation controls.
• Whether price and availability remain readable and consistent through the journey.
• Whether the correct variation reaches the cart, and whether the cart can be read back, adjusted and verified.
• Whether ordinary checkout is reachable and the payable total can be established, before CRAB stops.

CRAB publishes no WooCommerce failure statistics and makes no claim about plugins it has not inspected. Findings describe the store that was inspected.

The nine commerce stages

CRAB follows the buying journey itself and reports each stage as READY, PARTIAL, BLOCKED or INDETERMINATE. Findings are deterministic and tied to captured evidence.

No synthetic score. CRAB does not issue a 0–100 readiness score: a critical commerce failure cannot be averaged away by unrelated passing checks.

Independent verification. CRAB does not implement or remediate what it inspects. You implement; CRAB verifies.

Agent-ready is not commerce-ready

A WooCommerce store can expose structured data, feeds, agent protocols and machine-readable interfaces and still fail when the exact product is purchased. Protocol support does not prove a correct commercial outcome. CRAB verifies the outcome.

Getting something into the cart is not success. Getting the right product into the cart is. CRAB does not treat a sibling SKU, a wrong size, a wrong colour or a wrong edition as a successful buying journey.
