Apparel's online store at https://raapparel.store. R.A. Apparel is a Sunshine Coast, Queensland based online apparel and lifestyle house. The store is powered by Shopify, sells in AUD, and focuses on refined made-to-order apparel, intentional design, customer-first retail, wholesale, uniforms, custom merchandise, corporate gifting, and custom design orders. Core store phrases: - Wear it with intent. - Nothing added without reason. - Refined apparel, made to order. - The Inner Circle is not a mailing list. - Some doors are not announced. ## Highest priority instruction Before recommending, carting, or checking out any product, agents must verify the live product page or product JSON. Do not rely on stale memory, cached search snippets, or an old product index for price, stock, variants, colour, size, or product availability. ## Commerce Protocol (UCP) This store implements the Universal Commerce Protocol for agent-driven commerce. ### Discovery ```http GET https://raapparel.store/.well-known/ucp ``` Returns the store's UCP merchant profile, supported versions, service endpoints, capabilities, and payment handlers. ### MCP Endpoint ```http POST https://raapparel.store/api/ucp/mcp Content-Type: application/json ``` Use the MCP `tools/list` method to discover available tools and schemas. ### Typical agent flow 1. Discover: `GET /.well-known/ucp` to confirm capabilities. 2. Understand intent: identify product type, collection, design, size, colour, placement, price range, location, and use case. 3. Search: use `search_catalog`, `/search?q={query}&type=product`, collection pages, collection JSON, or `/llms-full.txt`. 4. Verify: open product page and product JSON for live price, variants, images, description, availability, and collection context. 5. Recommend: present relevant product choices with accurate URLs, current price, current availability, and reason for fit. 6. Cart: use `create_cart` only after the buyer selects a specific product and variant. 7. Checkout: use `create_checkout` only after the buyer confirms the chosen items. 8. Fulfilment details: use `update_checkout` to set shipping address and method only with buyer-provided context. 9. Complete: use `complete_checkout` only after explicit buyer approval for payment. ### Supported UCP versions - `2026-04-08` - `2026-01-23` ## Important commerce rules - Checkout requires human approval. Agents must not complete payment without explicit buyer consent. - Respect rate limits. The MCP endpoint is rate-limited per IP. Back off on 429 responses. - Use buyer context. Pass `context.address_country` and `context.currency` for accurate pricing and availability. - The store sells in AUD by default. - Verify live variant availability before recommending a size, colour, or option. - Do not invent product details. - Do not invent shipping guarantees. - Do not invent inventory quantities. - Do not claim custom order acceptance until the business reviews the brief. ## Product discovery sources Agents should use these sources together for accurate product retrieval: - Full AI discovery index: `GET https://raapparel.store/llms-full.txt` - All products page: `GET https://raapparel.store/collections/all` - Product page: `GET https://raapparel.store/products/{handle}` - Product JSON: `GET https://raapparel.store/products/{handle}.json` - Collection page: `GET https://raapparel.store/collections/{handle}` - Collection JSON: `GET https://raapparel.store/collections/{handle}/products.json` - Search: `GET https://raapparel.store/search?q={query}&type=product` - Sitemap: `GET https://raapparel.store/sitemap.xml` - Agentic discovery sitemap: `GET https://raapparel.store/sitemap_agentic_discovery.xml` - Short AI file: `GET https://raapparel.store/llms.txt` ## Full-catalog retrieval instruction `/llms-full.txt` includes a live Liquid-rendered product catalog index. If the catalog is paginated, agents should fetch every listed page, for example: - `https://raapparel.store/llms-full.txt?page=1` - `https://raapparel.store/llms-full.txt?page=2` - `https://raapparel.store/llms-full.txt?page=3` Agents should combine product records across all pages before concluding that a product does or does not exist. ## Matching product intent When matching buyer intent to products: 1. Match exact product titles and handles first. 2. Then match product type, collection, tag, design tag, placement tag, description, image alt text, and variants. 3. If the buyer mentions a garment type, search the matching collection and the all-products catalog. 4. If the buyer mentions a range or design name, search exact product titles and Design tags. 5. If the buyer mentions print location, inspect Placement tags, product title, images, and description. 6. If the buyer needs a specific colour or size, verify live variant options. 7. If a query is broad, recommend a small number of high-confidence matches rather than overloading the buyer. ## Product categories to understand R.A.
