When AI agents recommend products, someone earns a commission. Syndicate Links is the infrastructure that attributes the referral, calculates the payout, and settles it on-chain.
When an AI agent recommends a product, there is no browser, no cookie, no click. Traditional affiliate tracking breaks completely.
Shopify, Amazon, and Stripe all track merchant-side AI usage. None of them track which external AI agent referred the customer.
Agent-driven commerce is happening, but there is no standardized infrastructure to attribute conversions back to the agent or settle commissions to the publisher running it.
Your agent calls our API to mint a signed token before recommending a product. Token carries: agent ID, merchant program, session context.
POST /v1/attribution/token
{
"merchant_id": "m_abc123",
"agent_key": "aff_agent_xyz",
"context": { "session": "chat_9f3a" }
}When the user purchases, fire a conversion event with the token. Works with any checkout — Stripe, Shopify webhook, custom flow.
POST /v1/events/agent_conversion
{
"attribution_token": "sl_tok_...",
"order_id": "order_456",
"amount": 9900,
"currency": "usd"
}Syndicate Links validates the token, calculates the commission, and settles the payout. Stripe, Lightning, or USDC on Base / Solana.
GET /v1/commissions/cm_789
→ { "status": "settled",
"amount": 198,
"payout_method": "usdc_base",
"tx_hash": "0xabc..." }Everything you need to turn AI recommendations into tracked, attributed, settled commissions.
Built for AI-to-commerce, not retrofitted from click tracking. Two-layer auth (agent key + attribution token) maps every recommendation to a payout.
Install syndicate-links-mcp and your agent gets tools for attribution, commission tracking, and program discovery — no custom integration needed.
Stripe, Lightning Network, USDC on Base, USDC on Solana. Publishers choose. Settlements are automatic.
Every AI endorsement logged with agent identity, merchant, order, and timestamp. GET /v1/reports/ai-endorsements gives merchants a compliance export.
Full REST API with Python, Node.js, and cURL examples. 60 req/min free tier. Scale to 250K+ events/month.
Implements the commission settlement layer the Agentic Commerce Protocol affiliate attribution RFC scoped as a non-goal.
The Syndicate Links MCP server gives any Claude, GPT, or custom agent access to attribution, commission tracking, and program discovery.
# Install from npm
npm install -g syndicate-links-mcp
# Or add to Claude Desktop config
{
"mcpServers": {
"syndicate-links": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["syndicate-links-mcp"],
"env": { "SL_API_KEY": "your_key" }
}
}
}The agentic commerce stack is splitting into discovery, orchestration, and settlement layers. Syndicate Links sits across all of them — attribution survives the protocol shift, so the right Publisher still gets paid no matter how the purchase was initiated.
Our MCP server ships on npm today. Drop it into Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-aware agent and the attribution, commission, and program-discovery tools are wired in — no custom integration.
Our 402-protected links endpoint is registered with x402scan and resolves the 402 challenge for USDC-on-Base settlement. Agents paying via x402 settle directly; attribution still routes to the Publisher.
Google and Shopify's open standard for agent-driven discovery and checkout, now live in Google AI Mode and the Gemini app. Syndicate Links works alongside UCP — our attribution is compatible with UCP checkout sessions, so commissions still flow when an agent completes purchase inside a UCP-native surface.
Google's signed payment-mandate spec — the payment layer underneath UCP. Where AP2 moves the money, Syndicate Links still tracks who earned the sale and routes the commission to the originating Publisher.
A single Python script. Takes a business name, description, and URL. Registers a merchant, creates a program, adds products, generates tracking links, wires a webhook, fires a demo conversion. ~10 API calls, under ten minutes. Agents can run it verbatim on behalf of a merchant — no dashboard, no human.
