Key Features

🏪 Multi-Vendor Marketplace

Connect unlimited vendors via Shopify, Square, or custom integrations:

// Each vendor gets their own account
POST /api/vendors/connect
{
  "platform": "shopify",
  "domain": "vendor1.myshopify.com"
}

// Products automatically aggregated
GET /api/products/search?q=headphones
// Returns products from all vendors, ranked competitively

🎯 Product Deduplication

Three-layer matching prevents duplicate listings:

1. Fuzzy Matching: Title + brand similarity (90%+ match)
2. GTIN Matching: UPC, EAN, ISBN
3. AI Matching: Claude determines if products are the same

// Automatic deduplication
Vendor A: "Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)"
Vendor B: "AirPods Pro 2nd Generation"
→ Matched as same product

// Users see:
AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)
  - Vendor A: $249.00
  - Vendor B: $239.00  ← Best price!
