Rye

Rye is agentic commerce infrastructure - a Universal Checkout API that turns any product URL into a completed order without redirecting the shopper. Developers pass a product URL and buyer details and receive price, tax, shipping and delivery estimates, then confirm with a tokenized payment method (Stripe, Basis Theory, pre-funded drawdown balance, or x402/USDC) to place the order across thousands of merchants including Shopify stores and Amazon. Rye combines AI browser automation with fraud-mitigation and caches successful flows as deterministic workflows, advertising 90%+ order reliability, sub-35s offer resolution, and 99.9% uptime. The platform ships official TypeScript, Python, and Java SDKs, HMAC-signed webhooks, a staging sandbox with test products and simulated shipment/return helpers, Rewards UI React components, and a returns/refunds lifecycle. Rye is an a16z portfolio company.

Rye publishes 13 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Betas API, Billing API, Brands API, and 10 more. Tagged areas include Company, Commerce, E-Commerce, Checkout, and Payments.

The Rye catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Rye’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 32 more developer resources.
