The obstacle in this store
What is in the way
Bot protection lets people in and shows a verification page to every bot that states its name. Only an agent with a valid Web Bot Auth signature gets through.
How a store fixes it
Let verified bots and signed agents in. Do not show a verification step on product pages to AI assistants that read the store for a shopper (such as ChatGPT-User, Claude-User, Perplexity-User).
