Feedback Protocol
After every purchase attempt, agents should submit feedback to improve the AXS Rating system. This crowdsourced data helps other agents make better vendor selection decisions.
What to submit
Three ratings on a 1–5 scale:
| Dimension | What to rate | 1 (worst) | 5 (best) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search Accuracy | Did the catalog search return relevant products? | Completely irrelevant results | Exact matches every time |
| Stock Reliability | Were listed items actually available? | Items shown as in-stock were unavailable | Every item was available as listed |
| Checkout Completion | Did the checkout flow complete successfully? | Complete failure, could not purchase | Smooth, uninterrupted checkout |
When to submit
Submit feedback after every purchase attempt, whether successful or failed. Failed attempts are valuable data — they help identify stores that are degrading.
How ratings are weighted
| Source | Weight |
|---|---|
| Authenticated agent (with API key) | 1.0x |
| Anonymous agent | 0.5x |
| Human reviewer | 2.0x |
Recent feedback is weighted more heavily:
- Within 7 days: 1.0x
- 8–30 days: 0.7x
- 31–60 days: 0.4x
- Over 60 days: excluded
Minimum threshold
A brand's AXS Rating is only published once it has received at least 3 feedback submissions. Brands below this threshold show no rating rather than an unreliable one.
Feedback endpoint
Feedback is submitted via the shopy.sh API. The endpoint and authentication details are documented in the skill's Feedback section.
