Agentic Commerce with Crossmint

How Inventory Works

Crossmint acts as the Merchant of Record (MoR) for transactions, handling:

  • Payments processing
  • Shipping costs
  • Taxes calculation
  • Customer support

Supported Inventory Sources

The system supports purchasing from multiple major platforms:

  • Amazon - Access to millions of products
  • Shopify - E-commerce store products
  • Airlines - Flight bookings
  • Browser Automation - Automated purchasing

Integration Steps

1. Setup Your Project

  • Create a project in the Crossmint Console
  • Obtain your server-side API key from the Overview page

2. Search for Products

  • Use an LLM or third-party API to search available products
  • For Amazon products, extract the ASIN from URLs
  • Example: https://www.amazon.com/product/dp/B00O79SKV6 has ASIN B00O79SKV6

3. Create Orders

  • Use the Headless Checkout API to create payment orders
  • Specify recipient details and payment method
  • Orders can be funded using USDC from agent wallets or other supported payment methods

The inventory system seamlessly integrates with Crossmint's broader platform, allowing developers to build commerce functionality into AI agents and applications without handling complex e-commerce logistics themselves.
