Status: Placeholder content. This page will be replaced with concrete, step-by-step playbooks as The Registry matures.
The Merchant & Platform Playbooks pillar is where The Registry will host practical, “do this next” guidance for teams that need to move from theory to implementation.
These future playbooks are intended for:
- Merchants and brands upgrading catalogs, checkout, and policies for AI agents
- Marketplaces and platforms coordinating multi-tenant ecosystems
- Product, engineering, and data teams responsible for the actual integration work
Examples of future playbooks
Over time, this section is likely to contain articles such as:
- “How to prepare your Shopify-style catalog for agentic discovery”
- “Designing APIs and events that agents can safely consume”
- “Rolling out ACP or other agentic commerce standards without breaking the current stack”
- “Governance checklists for security, fraud and policy in agentic commerce”
Each playbook will combine:
- A concise explanation of the problem
- A concrete checklist of actions and decisions
- Links back to relevant standards, protocols, and ACRI dimensions
Why this placeholder exists now
Right now, this page is doing a simple job:
- Anchoring the
merchant-platform-playbookstag - Giving us somewhere to link from the homepage and navigation
- Allowing internal testing of layouts, related posts, and tag combinations
Once real playbooks are ready, this placeholder will be replaced by a rich index of practical guides.
