UCP readiness questions

Shopify App Store
1

Hi there,

Have couple question regarding UCP.

Is there more detailed documentation about UCP queries specification?

For example, in Dev Dashboard when requesting Catalog query, the JSON response has properties like: uniqueSellingPoint, topFeatures, techSpecs… from what product’s attributes/metafields are they come from?

When can we use our Dev store’s products to make queries against? or I missing something?

Thanks

Hi @websterapps

Have you reviewed the spec docs: Overview - Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP)

@Liam-Shopify I did, but my question was more from Shopify perspective, to fill properties like uniqueSellingPoint, topFeatures, techSpecs what attributes or metafields of the product does Shopify use? Are they AI generated?

I don’t believe metafields are being used in this context - but I’m digging into how these properties are being handled.

Hi again @websterapps

I was able to get an answer for this

Products from dev shops are not included in the global catalog right now - but this is something we’re currently exploring.

Properties like uniqueSellingPoint, topFeatures, techSpecs are coming from the catalog, not from the merchant’s mapping, or metafields.

Hi @Liam-Shopify, thanks for reply.

For the properties… but global catalog products are come from merchant’s store product, right? so, how would merchants improve their products attributes for better discovery?
