BigCommerce · free AI score

Is your BigCommerce store in ChatGPT's answer?

Shoppers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude what to buy. Paste your BigCommerce store: we ask them your buying question, show who they recommend instead, and which of your products they can't read.

What AI shopping reads on a product

Name and description

What the product is, in words a shopper uses.

Image

At least one product photo, with alt text describing it.

Price and availability

A real price above zero and whether it's in stock.

Brand and identifiers

Brand, GTIN/UPC or SKU, so the exact product can be matched.

A public product URL

A page the assistant can link the shopper to.

Store policies

Shipping and returns, which shoppers ask about before buying.

How it works on BigCommerce

Where products are listed: BigCommerce publishes products at /xmlsitemap.php?type=products, linked from /xmlsitemap.php.

Product data: Stencil themes print schema.org Product data on product pages; how complete it is (brand, GTIN, availability) depends on the theme and on the fields you fill.

Common gaps on BigCommerce

  • Fill Brand, GTIN/UPC and MPN on each product: they flow into the theme's product data when the theme supports them.
  • Products hidden from the storefront (not visible) are left out of the sitemap.
  • Check that variant prices show on the page; options without a price read as incomplete.

Each problem the scan finds links to a guide that explains the fix. Prefer to have it done? We fix catalogs for you.

Questions

Does my theme matter?

Yes. The theme decides how much product data is printed on the page. Our scan shows which fields are actually readable on your live pages.

Does Endcap need access to my admin?

No. The free scan reads your public storefront like an outside service: product sitemap and product pages. Nothing is changed.

Does fixing this guarantee AI will recommend me?

No. Complete product data makes your products readable and matchable; who an assistant recommends also depends on the question and on other stores. The free AI score shows who they recommend today.
