Agentic Commerce Readiness Checklist
27 checks across catalog, schema, rendering, discovery, agent behaviour, checkout and measurement — each with how to verify it yourself and what it costs you when it's missing.
CSV · 27 checks · 7 sections
Who it's for: Anyone who wants to run the audit themselves before paying anybody to run it.
What's in it
Exactly what you're getting.
- 1Seven sections: catalog, schema, rendering, discovery, agent behaviour, checkout, measurement.
- 2A
how_to_verifycolumn for every check — a concrete action, not "ensure best practice". Several are a single curl or a Rich Results Test. - 3Severity on each, so a Critical failure stops you optimising things that can't pay off until it's fixed.
- 4The rendering section, which is where most stores actually fail: if price and copy aren't in the server-rendered HTML, crawlers that don't run JavaScript read a blank page.
- 5Two agent-behaviour checks worth more than they look: does it escalate instead of guessing, and does it know your shipping and returns terms.
- 6Status, owner and notes columns so it works as a live worksheet rather than a read-once list.
How to use it
The order that actually works.
Most of these templates fail the same way — filled in completely, applied to nothing. This is the sequence we'd follow.
- 1Work top to bottom and mark pass, fail or n/a. Don't skip the verification step — assuming a check passes is how these audits go wrong.
- 2Fix every Critical before touching anything else. A Critical failure caps the value of every other row on the sheet.
- 3Assign an owner per row. Most of these fail because nobody owned them, not because they were hard.
- 4Re-run quarterly. Platform changes and theme updates silently reintroduce failures, especially in the rendering section.
