Terminal-based CS-Cart order tracking

Pipe `list_orders` output directly into your shell scripts. Claude Code identifies total costs and shipping methods for your recent transactions. Use `get_order` to pull specific line-item details for debugging. It returns the exact billing and shipping records you need to trace issues.

CS-Cart tax and shipping auditing

Execute `list_taxes` to verify your store's rate application rules. Claude Code parses these values to ensure your tax logic matches the backend. Fetch `list_shippings` to list available carriers and regions. You can compare rates and delivery zones without opening a browser.

Script your CS-Cart workflow

Automate vendor checks with `list_vendors`. Claude Code tracks status changes and contact updates for your marketplace partners. Query `list_categories` to map your store hierarchy. The tool provides the SEO identifiers and parent-child links your pipeline requires.
