Perplexity

Get core shop details and status.

Need to know if the store is up? Use `check_zid_status` to verify API availability instantly. You can also pull foundational data with `get_zid_shop_profile`, grabbing the current profile info for your e-commerce site. This helps you confirm system health or pull static details without writing a single curl command.

Manage customer and order lists.

List all users with `list_zid_customers` to build out user reports. For specific data, grab individual client info using `get_zid_customer`. Similarly, you can pull bulk order details via `list_zid_orders`, getting an overview of recent sales. Your agent handles the complexity; just tell it who or what list you need.

Track inventory and product info.

Inventory management is simple. Use `list_zid_inventories` to see exactly what's in stock right now. Don't forget products—you can get a full catalog list with `list_zid_products` or look up one item specifically using `get_zid_product`. This means your AI client has real-time visibility into both product availability and overall store inventory.
