Why it crawls your site
The bot crawls to maintain an accurate, real-time index of product data, including pricing and inventory levels, for participating e-commerce stores. It performs discovery checks to verify plugin status and consent, followed by scheduled catalog synchronization and on-demand updates when an AI agent queries a specific product. This process ensures that AI shopping assistants have access to current store information while respecting the site owner's control over their data.
