Sarvex is an open-source gateway that makes your store transactable by AI shopping agents over the Universal Commerce Protocol. Self-host it, inspect it, extend it. No checkout rebuild.
Apache-2.0 licensed · WooCommerce and Magento · Self-hosted
The big platforms are building this in. Sarvex brings it to everyone else, in the open.
A sale used to start with a person browsing your store. Now tools like Google's AI Mode and Gemini can compare, confirm, and pay without ever opening your site — and when they can't read your catalog or use your checkout, they simply buy elsewhere.
Agents don’t browse. They skip stores they can’t read.
Keep your checkout. Skip the protocol. Sarvex handles the rest.
Sarvex hosts your UCP profile and checkout endpoints, checks your catalog against what agents require, and raises tasks for what to fix. No checkout rebuild.
The spec keeps changing. Each UCP spec generation is its own module, and Sarvex serves several side by side, so upgrading is pulling a release, not rewriting your integration.
Your analytics can’t tell an agent from a bot. Sarvex can: synthetic endpoint probes, conformance runs, and a console that shows where checkout breaks.
One integration reaches agent surfaces through a registry, so new surfaces are added as modules without touching the core.
One store integration with Sarvex reaches 3 agent surfaces today, and new ones as they launch.
Deploy Sarvex (Kubernetes, or docker-compose locally), then install the thin WooCommerce or Magento plugin and pair your store.
Sarvex audits your catalog, checkout, and policies, and shows you exactly what’s missing.
Once you pass validation, your store is live on agent checkout, and monitored from then on.
Doing $1M–$50M in revenue, and not on a platform that gives you agent-readiness for free? This is for you.
On Shopify? Agent checkout is built in for you.
Sarvex is Apache-2.0 licensed. Read the code, run it on your own infrastructure, and send changes back.
One Go binary, three isolated planes. Production is Kubernetes with Helm and Argo CD; local development runs the same services with docker-compose.
New UCP spec generations, commerce platforms and agent surfaces each plug in behind a registry, with how-to guides for every one.
The WooCommerce and Magento plugins hold no business logic: they signal that something changed and serve your profile from your own domain.
Architecture decision records, a published security policy, a code of conduct and a contributing guide. Pull requests welcome.
Sarvex was started by people who ran checkout at scale inside a major retailer, and is stewarded by Sarvex Labs. It is open source so that anyone can inspect how agent checkout is brokered, and help make it better.
No — Sarvex doesn’t replace or modify your existing checkout. It adds what an agent needs to use the checkout you already have, calling your store’s own backend for stock, shipping, tax and order placement.
Sarvex doesn’t handle card data or process payments — the checkout schema has no field that could hold a raw credential, and your existing payment processor keeps doing that work. You can read the code to confirm it.
Shopify has agent checkout built in, so Sarvex isn’t needed there. The project focuses on WooCommerce and Magento 2, where merchants don’t get that for free.
Each UCP spec generation lives in its own module and several are served side by side. Maintainers add new generations as releases; you upgrade by deploying the new version.
The software is free and open source under Apache-2.0. You run it on your own infrastructure, so your costs are hosting and your time. If you want help setting it up, get in touch.
Yes. Read the contributing guide first — plane boundaries and tenant isolation are enforced strictly in review — then open an issue or a pull request on GitHub.
Sarvex is open source — start on GitHub. If you want help setting it up, or are an agency with questions, share your store URL and email and we’ll get back to you.
