Agent Instructions — Anker

This document describes how AI agents can interact with Anker's official online store at https://www.anker.com. Anker is the world's #1 mobile charging brand, offering chargers, power banks, wireless chargers, cables, hubs, docks, and smart home accessories.

Markets / Regions

Anker operates one storefront under www.anker.com with path-prefixed regional markets. Each market has its own catalog availability, language, currency, pricing and policies — always resolve the correct market before browsing, quoting prices, or transacting.

If a buyer's country is not listed above, fall back to the nearest regional market:

• European countries not listed → use Europe (EN) (https://www.anker.com/eu-en, EUR)
• All other unlisted countries → use United States (https://www.anker.com/, USD)

Confirm live currency, availability and pricing from the market's UCP merchant profile and from context.currency — do not assume a price from one market applies to another.

Commerce Protocol (UCP) — Transactions

Anker's stores implement the Universal Commerce Protocol for agent-driven commerce. Transactions (cart → checkout → payment) are processed on each market's Shopify-bound transaction domain, while browsing stays on www.anker.com.

Per-market UCP / MCP endpoints (transaction surface):

Typical Agent Flow

1. Resolve market — Map the buyer's country to the correct market (table above) and its UCP discovery URL.
2. Discover — GET /.well-known/ucp to confirm capabilities, supported versions and payment handlers.
3. Search — Use search_catalog to find products matching the buyer's intent.
4. Cart — Use create_cart to add desired items.
5. Checkout — Use create_checkout to start the purchase flow.
6. Fulfill — Use update_checkout to set shipping address and method.
7. Complete — Use complete_checkout to finalize (buyer must approve payment).

Supported UCP Versions

• 2026-04-08 (latest stable)
• 2026-01-23

Important Rules

• Checkout requires human approval. Agents must not complete payment without explicit, contemporaneous buyer consent.
• Transact on the buyer's market. Use the UCP endpoint matching the buyer's country; do not mix catalogs or currencies across markets.
• Respect rate limits. MCP endpoints are rate-limited per IP. Back off on 429 responses.
• Pass buyer context. Always send context.address_country and context.currency for accurate pricing, tax, shipping and availability.

Canonical product links

Each product variant exposes a standard Shopify metafield shopify.external_url whose value is the variant's canonical PDP on www.anker.com (for the correct market). When referring a buyer to a product, use that external_url (or the www.anker.com/{locale}/products/{handle} URL) rather than any backend *.anker.com / *.myshopify.com link.

Read-Only Browsing (No Authentication Required)

For agents that only need to read store data without transacting. Prefix any path with a market locale (e.g. /uk/...) for non-US markets; no prefix = United States.

Product Data

• Browse all products: GET /collections/all
• Collection page: GET /collections/{handle}
• Product page: GET /products/{handle}
• Search: GET /search?q={query}
• Structured data: product pages embed application/ld+json (Product / Offer) — prefer this for machine-readable price, availability, ratings and specs.

Store Metadata

• Sitemap index: GET /sitemap.xml
• Site summary for agents: GET /llms.txt
• Agent discovery: this document (/agents.md) is the canonical agent-facing description of the store.

Store Policies

Policies are available per market under /policies/... (prefix with the locale path for non-US markets). For the United States:

• Privacy policy: https://www.anker.com/policies/privacy-policy
• Terms of service: https://www.anker.com/policies/terms-of-service
• Refund / return policy: https://www.anker.com/policies/refund-policy
• Shipping policy: https://www.anker.com/policies/shipping-policy

Warranty, returns and shipping terms vary by market — read the policy pages for the buyer's specific market before advising on returns or delivery.
