👻 How GhostCart Works

Privacy-first shopping in 5 steps

1

Search

Describe what you want in plain language — like USB-C cable 2m braided under £10 or replacement Bosch dishwasher spray arm. GhostCart searches across multiple marketplaces simultaneously.

2

Compare

Results are ranked by relevance, value, and seller trust. Each product shows a score breakdown, price, marketplace, and any warnings. The best pick is highlighted with a recommendation.

3

Choose how to buy

You can either click through to buy directly from the store, or use GhostCart's buy flow. The GhostCart flow adds a privacy layer — the merchant sees GhostCart, not you.

4

Pay GhostCart

If you use the GhostCart flow, pay through Stripe (card) or Locus (USDC on Base). After payment confirms, GhostCart starts preparing your purchase in the background.

5

Checkout preparation

GhostCart opens the merchant site, verifies the product, adds it to cart, and moves through checkout — all automated in the background. You can track progress in real time.

⚠️ Current limitation

GhostCart currently prepares the checkout but does not place the final order. It stops before entering merchant payment details. This is a safety boundary while we build out the full autonomous purchasing pipeline.

🔒 Privacy model

Your search queries are processed through Venice AI with zero data retention — no logs, no profiling. When GhostCart interacts with merchants, they see GhostCart's identity, not yours. Your shopping intent stays private.

For agents & developers
