Arka

Arka is a custom packaging company that lets ecommerce brands design, order, and ship eco-friendly custom boxes, mailers, and sustainable packaging online. Arka offers low minimums, fast turnaround, and plug-in integrations with commerce platforms including Shopify, BigCommerce, and Square so merchants can reorder packaging alongside their fulfillment workflow. Arka's storefront runs on Shopify and exposes a modern agent-commerce surface — a published /llms.txt, an agentic-discovery sitemap, OIDC/OAuth 2.0 discovery for the Shopify Customer Account API, and a Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) MCP endpoint that lets AI shopping agents search the catalog, build carts, and complete buyer-approved checkouts. Surfaced as a 500 Global portfolio company and profiled here as part of the API Evangelist network.

Arka is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Packaging, Custom Packaging, Ecommerce, and Sustainability.

Arka’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, signup flow, and 9 more developer resources.
