MerchantStamp for BigCommerce

Make your BigCommerce products discoverable by ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and every AI shopping agent.

BigCommerce powers thousands of growing e-commerce businesses, but its default structured data is incomplete for AI agents. MerchantStamp bridges the gap — scan your store, see exactly what's missing, and fix it automatically.

The Problem with BigCommerce's Default Setup

Default Stencil themes have basic JSON-LD — missing review aggregates, shipping details, GTIN/MPN often unfilled
Product schema lacks review aggregates and comprehensive shipping information
GTIN and MPN fields exist but are frequently left blank by merchants
No machine-readable return or shipping policies for AI agents to parse
Product feeds require additional apps and aren't optimized for AI consumption

How to Install MerchantStamp on BigCommerce

1

Run your free audit

Enter your BigCommerce store URL on MerchantStamp. In under 2 minutes, you get a detailed Agent-Readiness Score showing exactly what AI agents can and cannot read on your store.

2

Review your recommendations

MerchantStamp identifies every gap: missing JSON-LD fields, incomplete product identifiers (GTIN, MPN), unreadable policies, and robots.txt issues. Each item has a priority and clear fix.

3

Activate Silver — one snippet via Script Manager, zero code

Upgrade to Silver and MerchantStamp generates all the structured data your store needs. Add our Silver snippet via BigCommerce Script Manager (Control Panel → Storefront → Script Manager → Create Script in Header). Zero theme modification needed — that's it.
