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.
