How do I get my VTEX API credentials?

Log in to your VTEX Admin, go to **Account Settings → Application Keys**, and create a new App Key. You'll receive an App Key and App Token pair. You also need your Account Name (the subdomain you use to access the VTEX Admin, e.g., 'mystore'). No code, no SDK — just connect and go.

Can my agent simulate a full cart with shipping costs?

Yes! Use the 'simulate_order' tool with a list of items and a postal code. Your agent will return the full cart breakdown — totals, per-item pricing, available logistics options, estimated delivery dates, and applicable discounts — all without touching the actual store.

What happens when a customer asks support about their current cart?

Your support agent can use the 'get_orderform' tool to instantly retrieve the customer's active cart — items, quantities, prices, applied coupons, and shipping address. No need to switch tabs or navigate the admin. The agent can then apply a coupon or check shipping costs, all within the same conversation.

Can I validate payment conditions before placing bulk orders?

Absolutely. The 'simulate_payment' tool lets your agent validate payment tokens and check accepted conditions — perfect for operations teams running bulk order validations across multiple sellers and payment methods without processing real transactions.
