What does Tire Kicker test?

Whether AI shopping agents can buy from your Shopify store. Three agents try to buy a real product: one reads the page's code, one looks at screenshots, and one shops through Shopify's agent protocol. Each stops at the order total, and you see where each one got stuck.

Does it place real orders?

No. Every agent stops before payment, uses obviously fake details, and protocol checkouts are cancelled. Your store sees an abandoned cart, nothing more.

Do I need to install an app or give store access?

No. Paste your store's URL. The agents shop it like any visitor would.

How is this different from an AI-readiness score?

Readiness checkers read your store's files. Our agents actually try to buy, which is how you find a Checkout button that isn't a button, or a bot wall that turns cloud browsers away.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free test runs all three agents once a month per store. The $99 full report adds five runs per agent and a fix brief for your developer.
