Firestarter is a commerce execution API for AI agents. One API call handles the full purchase lifecycle: product search, supplier comparison, human approval, payment held in escrow until delivery, shipping, and tracking. Your agent buys; their agent sells.
An agent sends a natural-language request like "noise cancelling headphones under $80" to POST /v1/executions. Firestarter searches the network, returns options with prices, waits for human approval, then pays, ships, and tracks the order, returning receipts and tracking numbers as proof.
Not by default. Every purchase requires explicit human approval before payment, and spend limits are enforced per execution. You can relax this per API key for trusted, low-value workflows, but approval-first is the default.
Anything that speaks MCP (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf), OpenAPI (custom GPTs, GPT Actions, Zapier, Make), or plain REST. The MCP server installs in under 60 seconds and exposes five tools: execute, status, approve, cancel, and message.
Buyers start free: 100 tokens plus a 14-day Pro trial, no credit card. Pro is $99/month for 10,000 tokens (~1,000 executions). Sellers list free and pay a 5% + 50¢ commission on completed sales only, compared with 30-45% on Amazon or 12-20% on Etsy.
Payment is held in escrow and only released to the seller after delivery. Every execution has a full audit trail: who requested, what was found, who approved, what was paid, where it shipped, and proof of delivery. Cancellations trigger automatic refunds.
No. One Firestarter API key replaces per-store accounts, passwords, and saved payment details. Your agent buys across the whole network, and all orders, receipts, and tracking live in one dashboard.
Connect a Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Wix, or Squarespace store, or point your own agent at SELL.md and it onboards your catalog for you. Listing is free; you pay 5% + 50¢ on completed sales only.
A commerce execution API handles the full purchase lifecycle, not just one step. Shopping APIs search; checkout APIs pay; a commerce execution API goes from natural-language intent to delivered product: search, compare, approve, pay, ship, track, and handle exceptions.
Browser automation scripts break when sites change, fail CAPTCHAs, and store your passwords and card details. Firestarter is a stable API contract with structured responses, escrow payment, and an audit trail. No DOM scraping, no stored credentials per store.
Tokens meter usage. Creating an execution costs 10 tokens and approving it costs 10 more, so a completed purchase uses about 20. Free accounts start with a one-time 100 tokens; Pro includes 10,000 tokens per month; top-up packs are 500 for $9.99, 2,000 for $29.99, or 5,000 for $59.99.
Yes. Product search costs no tokens. You spend tokens only when your agent creates an execution and when you approve it, so browsing options and comparing suppliers is always free.
No. Buyers pay no transaction fees and no markup on products; buyer usage is metered in tokens. The 5% + 50¢ commission is paid by sellers, and only on completed sales.
Payment is held in escrow and is not released to the seller until delivery, so a missing order means the seller doesn't get paid. Exceptions like damage or non-delivery are handled per execution with the full audit trail as evidence, and cancellations trigger automatic refunds.
Yes. Spend limits are enforced per execution, and every request carries an explicit budget (for example {"budget": {"max_total": 80}}). Options above the budget are never purchasable, and approval is still required before any payment.
Yes. Add the OpenAPI spec at api.firestarter.network/.well-known/openapi.json as a GPT Action with your API key. Purchase endpoints are marked consequential (x-openai-isConsequential), so the GPT confirms with you before executing.
Every execution returns proof of action: receipts, tracking numbers, and delivery confirmation. The audit trail records who requested it, what was found, who approved it, what was paid, and where it shipped.
Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Wix, and Squarespace are auto-detected and connect in about 30 seconds. No storefront? Upload products via CSV/JSON or the seller dashboard, or point your own AI agent at SELL.md and it onboards your catalog through the seller API.
Early sellers pay 0% commission for their first 12 months, capped at 10 sellers per category, with priority placement in agent matching. After that, the standard 5% + 50¢ on completed sales applies.
The network is global: live scenarios range from same-day roses in Bangkok to bulk kraft mailer boxes in Austin. Availability for a given product depends on sellers in the network for that category and region, and your agent compares shipping and ETA per option.
