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.
