For merchants

Merchant setup

Set up the channel in a few minutes from the embedded app in your Shopify admin.

1 · Install

Install Terminal Commerce. It opens embedded in your admin and requests only the scopes it needs.

2 · Choose eligible products

In the app, pick which products the channel exposes — all products, or specific products/collections. Agents only ever see eligible products.

3 · Enable Storefront access

Save server-side Storefront access so the endpoint can answer product and cart requests. The catalog-readiness report flags anything missing (image, availability) before you go live.

4 · Share the endpoint

Copy your hosted MCP endpoint and share the connect instructions with buyers or agents. See Connect an agent.

5 · Watch the evidence dashboard

The in-admin dashboard traces each terminal session → cart → checkout → attributed order, with PII-free evidence. No payment data, tokens, or checkout URLs are exposed.

Checkout and payment always complete in Shopify-hosted checkout. The channel never collects payment.
