New

You can now search, buy, and read orders for GoDaddy products programmatically. The [Shopping API](https://developer.godaddy.com/docs/api-users/shopping) follows the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP), so you can let your apps and AI agents buy GoDaddy products on your GoDaddy account.

The catalog includes Web Hosting (Economy, Deluxe, and Ultimate) and Professional Email (Pro Light, Pro Plus, Premium, and Ultra). We plan to add more products.

## What changed

New endpoints under `/v1/shopping`:

* [`POST /v1/shopping/catalog/search`](https://developer.godaddy.com/docs/references/rest/shopping/search-catalog) — search products.
* [`POST /v1/shopping/catalog/lookup`](https://developer.godaddy.com/docs/references/rest/shopping/lookup-catalog) — look up products by identifier.
* [`POST /v1/shopping/catalog/product`](https://developer.godaddy.com/docs/references/rest/shopping/get-product) — get the details of one product.
* [`POST /v1/shopping/checkout-sessions`](https://developer.godaddy.com/docs/references/rest/shopping/create-checkout) — create a checkout session.
* [`GET /v1/shopping/checkout-sessions/{id}`](https://developer.godaddy.com/docs/references/rest/shopping/get-checkout) — read a session.
* [`PUT /v1/shopping/checkout-sessions/{id}`](https://developer.godaddy.com/docs/references/rest/shopping/update-checkout) — update a session.
* [`POST /v1/shopping/checkout-sessions/{id}/complete`](https://developer.godaddy.com/docs/references/rest/shopping/complete-checkout) — place the order.
* [`GET /v1/shopping/orders/{id}`](https://developer.godaddy.com/docs/references/rest/shopping/get-order) — read an order.

All endpoints need a Personal Access Token (PAT) with the [scope](https://developer.godaddy.com/docs/api-users/shopping#authentication) for the resource: `shopping.catalog:read`, `shopping.checkout:execute`, or `shopping.order:read`.

The [`gddy` CLI](https://developer.godaddy.com/docs/api-users/cli/set-up) now includes the `gddy shopping catalog`, `gddy shopping checkout`, and `gddy shopping order` commands by default, without a beta flag. Run `gddy guide shopping` for a step-by-step purchase flow. The [`gddy` agent skill](https://developer.godaddy.com/docs/api-users/cli/agent-skill) tells AI agents to show the final total and each required agreement, and to get the user's explicit approval before checkout.

## Who is affected

Available to developers with a GoDaddy account and API access or the `gddy` CLI. Reseller (private label) accounts are not supported. No existing integrations are affected; these endpoints and commands are additive, and no action is required.
