Paperless Post

Paperless Post is a New York City based digital and print stationery company whose platform lets people design, send, and manage online invitations, greeting cards, save-the-dates, and free Flyers for weddings, birthdays, holidays, business events, and other occasions. Founded in 2008 by siblings James and Alexa Hirschfeld, it pairs an in-house design studio with licensed designer collections (Oscar de la Renta, Rifle Paper Co., Marimekko and others) and adds RSVP tracking, guest messaging, event websites, mobile apps, and a Party Shop.

scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Payments regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/paperless-post: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  description: 'The Paperless Post Party Shop storefront is the only machine-callable surface on any paperlesspost.com host.
    It is Shopify-hosted and implements the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) for agent-driven commerce: a UCP merchant profile
    at /.well-known/ucp, an MCP endpoint at /api/ucp/mcp carrying the search_catalog / create_cart / create_checkout / update_checkout

    at /llms.txt and /agents.md, and anonymous read-only product and collection JSON endpoints. Checkout completion requires

x-coverage:
  state: covered
  reason: agent-commerce-surface-only
  detail: The core Paperless Post invitation product at www.paperlesspost.com has no developer program and no machine-readable
    contract — every OpenAPI, GraphQL, agent-card and /.well-known probe 404s — but the Party Shop storefront at partyshop.paperlesspost.com
    serves a full UCP/MCP agent-commerce surface (llms.txt, agents.md, /.well-known/ucp, OAuth/OIDC discovery), so the provider
    is covered on that surface rather than empty.
