## Overview

UCPStore is a third-party integration service that transforms existing e-commerce stores into AI-ready endpoints using the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP). We act as a wrapper layer between your existing platform (Shopify, WooCommerce, etc.) and AI agents, providing standardized API access without requiring platform migration.
