Orchid Affiliate Intelligence

LLM-first buying intelligence for Amazon Europe marketplaces and partner commerce.

Future protocol surface

UCP is prepared, but not faked.

Orchid publishes a UCP preview profile so future partner-brand commerce can be activated cleanly. Amazon marketplace items are still affiliate referrals, so the site does not pretend to offer direct checkout where it does not exist.

Current state

Orchid is publishing protocol discovery now, but keeps direct-checkout capability reserved until there is a real merchant relationship, inventory, and compliant flow.

Active today

  • UCP preview profile at /.well-known/ucp.
  • Discovery JSON with market and policy data.
  • Partner-intake path for future direct-commerce onboarding.

Reserved for later

  • Direct checkout for partner-brand offers.
  • Live order management and fulfillment APIs.
  • Any checkout flow for Amazon marketplace affiliate items.

Preview profile

The published profile below is intentionally explicit about what is active and what is not.
