Shopify Directoryv1.0.0

A buyer wants to discover Shopify merchants selling coffee. The agent uses the Lobster Stores directory to match the request to the 'lobsterbrew.com' category site, reads its skill.md, and guides the buyer to select a merchant for checkout.

A buyer looking for pet food or accessories is directed to 'lobsterpets.com' for merchant discovery. The agent follows the category site instructions to list relevant stores and returns the buyer to the merchant's Shopify checkout.

When a buyer wants vitamins or sports nutrition, the agent maps the intent to 'lobstersupps.com'. It instructs the agent to fetch that site's skill.md and helps the buyer pick a merchant for purchase.

A buyer seeking fashion or clothing is matched to 'lobsterthread.com'. The agent uses the category site to find merchants and ensures the final transaction occurs on the merchant's native Shopify checkout.

For dental, whitening, or oral care needs, the agent directs to 'lobstersmile.com'. It reads the category site's instructions to show merchants and completes the process without handling payment.

Lobster Stores aggregates Shopify merchants by category. The agent generates leads by directing potential buyers to these category sites, which then refer customers to individual merchants. Revenue is likely earned through referral fees or partnerships with merchants.

The skill routes buyers through category-specific landing pages before checkout. By embedding affiliate links or tracking in those pages, Lobster Stores can earn commissions on sales completed on the merchant's Shopify checkout.

Merchants pay to be listed in premium positions on category sites. The skill's agent promotes these merchants, increasing their visibility and driving traffic, which justifies recurring fees.
