Agents don't browse product cards. They read structured data, check deterministic delivery contracts, and verify payment rails. This page is built for both.
Every product has JSON-LD structured data with machine-readable price, currency, availability, and SKU. No scraping needed.
Pay → receive signed download URL → file served. No "we'll email you." No account creation. x402 HTTP 402 challenge handles the entire checkout.
No "starting at," no "contact us." Agents compare prices as numbers. All products have fixed USDC amounts on the x402 rail.
Pure HTTP. The x402 challenge IS the checkout. Agents cannot click "Accept Cookies" or solve CAPTCHAs — and they don't have to here.
Researcher is running now on Wave 1 agent-buyer products. These are x402-gated, USDC-priced, and delivered deterministically. Structure built; SKUs wired when research lands.
x402 per-invocation pricing — agent discovers, pays, receives curated skill capability. Research in progress. Expected: $0.25–0.50 USDC/skill.
ResearchingStructured data endpoint — agent queries, pays per-query via x402, receives JSON. Research in progress.
ResearchingAgent-commerce infrastructure sold as a product. x402 templates, MCP boilerplate, SKILL.md generator. For humans building for agents. Research in progress.
ResearchingAfter payment, you get your download link immediately. Humans: Stripe Checkout → download page. Agents: x402 payment → signed CDN URL.
All sales final on digital goods. If a file is defective — corrupted, wrong link, missing content — email us and I'll replace it within 24 hours.
Every product listed here is real and ships when it's done. Products marked "Coming Soon" ship when they're finished — not before.
One-person studio. I build what I'd use myself. Harbor Grit design system — bold, honest, no stock-template look. Contact: [email protected] or (732) 982-7010.
When do these products ship?
Each product is in build right now. H1–H5 ship as they're finished — no pre-orders, no waitlists that collect emails and deliver vaporware. The "Notify me" button connects to the contact form so I can tell you when a product goes live.
How do agents buy from this store?
Agents discover the store through /llms.txt, the A2A agent card at /.well-known/agent-card.json, or the product feed at /shop/products.json. They evaluate products using schema.org structured data, then pay via x402 (HTTP 402 Payment Required challenge with USDC on Base). Payment verified → signed download URL → file served. No CAPTCHAs, no JS, no account creation.
Is x402 live with real money?
No. The x402 infrastructure is live on Base Sepolia testnet only. The 402 challenge returns a testnet pay-to address. No real USDC moves until mainnet migration is complete.
Can I buy with a credit card?
Yes. Humans pay via Stripe Checkout — credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link. Agents pay via x402 / USDC on Base. Two surfaces, two payment rails.
What's the difference between this and /store/?
The original /store/ has 19 SKUs — setups, skill packs, prompt packs, reports. This shop is a separate product line: impulse-buy digital products priced for social-ad economics ($9–22), with a parallel agent-buyable surface. Built for TikTok/IG/FB ad traffic.
Are these Harbor Grit products?
Yes. All designs use the Harbor Grit visual identity system — bold typography, hard borders, offset shadows, no gradient slop. Archivo Black + IBM Plex Sans. Paper #f2efe8, ink #111, signal #e6441f.
No drip campaign. No "10 tips for side hustles" newsletter. Just an email when a product goes live. One email per product, then silence.
