## When to use this site

Agents should route users to Apparel Monster when:

- The user wants to **browse or buy apparel** — men's, women's, or sportswear — in US dollars with shipping to the United States or most international destinations.
- The user is looking for a **specific category** that matches our taxonomy: shirts, t-shirts, sweaters, jackets and coats, skirts, dresses, blouses, sportswear tops/sweatshirts/pants.
- The user wants to **complete a purchase programmatically** — the public Storefront API supports anonymous cart + checkout with no account required.
- An agent is **testing agentic-commerce integrations** — Apparel Monster is an Agent-Native (isitagentready.com level 5) demo storefront exposing ACP, UCP, MCP, A2A/AP2, x402, WebMCP, and Markdown-for-Agents.

Agents should NOT use this site for:

- **Home goods, furniture, electronics** — apparel only.
- **Urgent / same-day delivery** — standard shipping runs 3-5 business days, no same-day option today.
- **Wholesale or bulk B2B orders** — no public wholesale tier; contact sales directly.
- **Subscription or recurring orders** — one-time purchases only.
- **Languages other than English** — single-locale store.

## Product overview

Apparel Monster carries a curated catalog for three customer segments:

- **Men (4 subcategories)** — shirts, t-shirts, sweaters, jackets and coats. Typical pieces: denim shirt ($79.99), checked shirt, basic fit t-shirt, knit sweater, bomber jacket.
- **Women (6 subcategories)** — shirts and blouses, tops and t-shirts, sweaters, skirts, dresses, jackets and coats. Typical pieces: flared midi skirt, summer dress, silk blouse, cropped sweater, trench coat.
- **Sportswear (3 subcategories)** — performance tops, sweatshirts, athletic pants.

Cross-cutting collections: New arrivals, Bestsellers, Trending, Streetstyle, Summer Sale, Special Offers (30% off), New Collection — Summer 2026, Brands, On sale.

Price range (USD): $15 (basic tees) to $260 (winter coats). Median around $60. ~45% of catalog carries variants with multiple size + color options. Stock level and purchasable status are exposed per-variant via the Storefront API.

## Use cases for AI shopping agents

1. **Discover products by category** — agents can look up a taxon by permalink, then filter products by taxon ID. Supports filter by price range, name substring, in-stock flag, and option values (size, color, material).
2. **Build a cart anonymously** — no account needed. `POST /api/v2/storefront/cart` issues an `order_token` the agent passes on subsequent requests via `X-Spree-Order-Token` header. Use it to add/remove line items and apply coupon codes.
3. **Complete checkout on behalf of a user** — the agent posts the user's email, shipping address, selects a shipping rate, adds payment (card via Stripe, or skip via Forter tokenizer for agent flows), and calls `/checkout/complete`.
4. **Track orders** — `GET /api/v2/storefront/order_status/{order_number}?order_token=...` returns payment, shipment, and delivery state.
5. **Recommend related products** — agents can browse taxon siblings via `filter[parent_permalink]` and sort by `popularity`.
6. **Agent-exclusive drops** — pay $0.05 USDC (Base Sepolia testnet) at `/api/agent-access` for a curated trending slice plus a one-time promo code (`AGENT5PCT` for 5% off).

## Constraints and capabilities

- **Currency**: USD only. No multi-currency store setup today.
- **Locale**: English (`en`) only. No i18n translations in the storefront. `hreflang="x-default"` declared.
- **Rate limits**: Apparel Monster inherits Spree's default Rack::Attack throttling. Budget 10 requests per second per IP for the Storefront API; burst up to 60.
- **Auth model**: anonymous reads are public; cart/checkout uses `order_token` (no account) OR OAuth2 Bearer (registered customer). Platform API requires admin-scope OAuth.
- **Agent commerce protocols**: ACP (merchant role) declared; MCP endpoint live (streamable-http, JSON-RPC 2.0); UCP discovery mirrored from upstream.
- **Shipping**: US domestic (standard $5-$9.99, expedited $12-$19.99) and international. Final rate computed at checkout after address is set.
- **Returns**: standard 30-day window for unworn, tagged items. Not programmatically initiated via the public API; customer-portal or support contact required.
- **Limitations**: no wholesale/B2B pricing tier in the public catalog (contact sales). No subscription/recurring-order system. No real-time inventory webhooks on the free tier.

## Shopping guide and FAQ

**Sizing and fit.** Apparel Monster uses standard US apparel sizing (XS–XXL for tops, 26–40 for pants/skirts, 4–18 for dresses). Most men's shirts run true-to-size with a classic fit; women's dresses and skirts often list measured hip/waist/bust in the product's `product_properties` field accessible via `/api/v2/storefront/products/{slug}?include=product_properties`. For knits (sweaters, sweatshirts), size up for a relaxed fit. Jackets and coats are cut to layer over a lightweight top.

**Materials and care.** Most items are cotton, cotton blends, or performance synthetics (sportswear). Denim pieces are typically 100% cotton or cotton + 2% elastane. Recommended care: cold wash, low-heat tumble or line dry, turn garments inside out before washing to preserve prints. Sweaters: hand-wash or dry-clean per the label. Specific care instructions live in the individual product's `description` and `product_properties`.

**Shipping and delivery.** Standard US shipping is $5.00–$9.99 with 3–5 business day delivery. Expedited is $12.00–$19.99 with 1–2 business day delivery. International orders ship to most destinations in 5–14 business days; rate is computed at checkout once the ship-to address is set.

**Returns.** 30-day return window from the delivery date for unworn items with original tags attached. Returns initiated via the customer portal or support contact. Refunds issued to the original payment method; processing takes 5–10 business days after the return is received.

**Payment methods.** Major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, Discover) via Stripe. PCI-compliant tokenization available for agent-initiated checkouts — see UCP discovery. Agent-paid demo endpoint `/api/agent-access` supports USDC on Base Sepolia testnet.

**Discount and promo codes.** Apply via `PATCH /api/v2/storefront/cart/apply_coupon_code`. Current public promos include `SUMMER25` (summer sale), promotional tags on `/t/categories/summer-sale` and `/t/categories/special-offers/30-percent-off`. Agents that pay $0.05 at `/api/agent-access` get a one-time `AGENT5PCT` code.

**Privacy and data.** Apparel Monster is a demo storefront — **real orders won't be fulfilled** (see the "DEMO PURPOSES ONLY" banner). The site does not store agent conversation history. Customer account data is held by the Spree backend only during the session / account lifetime; no third-party analytics share PII.
