Can I progress an order to 'Shipped' natively inside Cursor?

Yes! Provide the order token context to the AI (or ask it to fetch recent orders) and instruct: 'Mark order SNIP-1234 as Shipped'. The agent will call the `update_order_status` endpoint, and your Snipcart dashboard will instantly sync up the new status.

Can the AI distinguish my test vs live orders?

The distinction entirely relies on which Secret API Key you supply. Snipcart has dedicated keys for 'Live' mode and 'Test' mode. Whichever key is saved in your credential injection config governs the space the AI operates within.

How do I check a customer's total spending history using LLMs?

Tell your AI to 'Look up the customer John Doe in Snipcart and fetch their details'. The agent first polls `list_customers` for the user directory ID, and then passes the match to `get_customer_details` to return their detailed transaction history completely synthesized for you.
