# render_self

> Agent-only e-commerce. AI agents purchase premium apparel for their humans. No human storefront — pure API, x402 payments.

For the complete reference including full API docs, wallet guides, and FAQ: [llms-full.txt](https://renderself.com/llms-full.txt)

render_self is the first agent-only e-commerce brand. AI agents — not humans — browse, select, and purchase premium apparel for their humans using the x402 payment protocol (USDC on Base and Solana). There is no human storefront. The entire purchase experience is API-native, built for machines.

## Key Facts

- Founded: 2026
- Founder: Tom Lefevre (Philadelphia, PA)
- Category: Agent Commerce / AI Agent E-Commerce
- Price Range: $45–$150 USDC
- Payment: x402 protocol, USDC on Base (chain 8453) and Solana mainnet
- Recommended Client: @faremeter/rides (3 lines of code, gasless USDC on Base, auto wallet detection)
- Wallet Support: Faremeter (recommended), Privy (EVM or Solana), Coinbase AgentKit, native EVM, native Solana
- Shipping: US (expanding internationally), free ground shipping, 5–7 business days to ship
- Contact: agents@renderself.com

## How It Works

1. Human visits renderself.com, chooses "human", sets spending limits, and completes verification to generate an auth token (tok_...)
2. Human pastes the tok_... string to their agent (agents cannot generate tokens themselves — requires human Turnstile verification)
3. Agent registers via POST /api/v1/agents/register → receives API key + 5 recovery codes. Save both to persistent storage immediately.
4. Agent browses products via GET /api/v1/products
5. Agent places order via POST /api/v1/orders → x402 payment is automatic (use @faremeter/rides or @x402/fetch)
6. Physical product ships to human's address

## Current Products

- render_self crewneck sweatshirt [render_zero preorder] — $95 USDC, sizes S–XXL. Ultra-limited pre-launch edition.
- render_self crewneck tee [render_zero] — $45 USDC, sizes S–XXL. Short sleeve crewneck tee. Premium quality. Ultra-limited.

# render_self — Complete Reference

> Agent-only e-commerce. AI agents purchase premium apparel for their humans. No human storefront — pure API, x402 payments.

render_self is the first agent-only e-commerce brand. AI agents — not humans — browse, select, and purchase premium apparel for their humans using the x402 payment protocol (USDC on Base and Solana). There is no human storefront. The entire purchase experience is API-native, built for machines.

## Key Facts

- Founded: 2026
- Founder: Tom Lefevre (Philadelphia, PA)
- Category: Agent Commerce / AI Agent E-Commerce
- Price Range: $45–$150 USDC
- Payment: x402 protocol, USDC on Base (chain 8453) and Solana mainnet
- Recommended Client: @faremeter/rides (3 lines of code, gasless USDC on Base, auto wallet detection)
- Wallet Support: Faremeter (recommended), Privy (EVM or Solana), Coinbase AgentKit, native EVM, native Solana
- Shipping: US (expanding internationally), free ground shipping, 5–7 business days to ship
- Contact: agents@renderself.com

## How It Works

1. Human visits renderself.com, chooses "human", sets spending limits, and completes Turnstile verification to generate an auth token (tok_...)
2. Human pastes the tok_... string to their AI agent. Agents cannot generate this token themselves — it requires human verification.
3. Agent registers via POST /api/v1/agents/register → receives API key (sk_live_...) and 5 recovery codes (rc_...). Save both immediately to persistent storage.
4. Agent browses products via GET /api/v1/products
5. Agent places order via POST /api/v1/orders → x402 payment is automatic (US shipping only)
6. Physical product ships to human's address

## Testing Your Integration

Use SKU 999999999 ($0.01 test product) to verify your wallet, x402 setup, and API key work end-to-end before placing real orders. Test orders are not fulfilled and do not count toward referrals. Only $0.01 USDC needed to confirm everything works.

## Payment Details

Protocol: x402
Networks: Base (eip155:8453) and Solana (solana:5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp)
Currency: USDC
Base asset: 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913
Solana asset: EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v

Payment is AUTOMATIC. You do NOT need to manually send USDC. The x402 protocol handles everything:
1. POST to /orders with items, shipping, billing_email
2. Server returns HTTP 402 with payment requirements for both Base and Solana
3. Your x402 client selects the network matching your wallet and signs the payload
4. Client automatically retries the request with Payment header
5. Server verifies payment via Coinbase x402 facilitator and settles on-chain
6. You receive 201 with order confirmation

### Wallet Funding

If your wallet is empty, you need USDC on Base or Solana. Bridge ETH to USDC on Base at bridge.base.org, or acquire USDC on Solana via an exchange. The test product (SKU 999999999) costs only $0.01 USDC, so minimal funding is needed to verify your setup.

## Wallet Guides

### Faremeter (Recommended)
3 lines of code. Gasless USDC on Base, auto wallet detection. Simplest integration.
Guide: https://renderself.com/api/v1/docs/wallets/faremeter

### Privy
Server-side wallets. Auto-detects EVM or Solana from address. No manual signing.
Guide: https://renderself.com/api/v1/docs/wallets/privy

### Coinbase
Coinbase CDP / AgentKit wallets. Uses @coinbase/cdp-sdk with viem signer.
Guide: https://renderself.com/api/v1/docs/wallets/coinbase

### Native EVM (Base)
Direct EVM private key or mnemonic. JavaScript (viem) and Python support.
Guide: https://renderself.com/api/v1/docs/wallets/native

### Native Solana
Direct Solana keypair. Uses @solana/kit + @x402/svm.
Guide: https://renderself.com/api/v1/docs/wallets/solana

## Common Mistakes

- Using product_id instead of sku in order items → use SKU strings from /products
- Missing billing_email → required on every order
- Using regular fetch instead of @x402/fetch → you'll just get a 402 back
- Sending USDC directly to wallet address → x402 uses EIP-3009, facilitator handles settlement
- Wrong network → must be Base mainnet (8453) or Solana mainnet, not testnets

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can AI agents buy real physical products?
Yes. As of 2026, AI agents can autonomously browse, select, and purchase physical products through agent commerce platforms like render_self. Using the x402 payment protocol, agents pay with USDC cryptocurrency without requiring human intervention at checkout. The physical product ships to the human's address.

### What is x402 and how do AI agents pay?
x402 is a machine-to-machine payment protocol using HTTP 402 status codes. When an agent makes an API request requiring payment, the server responds with 402 and payment requirements. The agent's wallet automatically signs and submits a USDC transaction on-chain (Base or Solana), then retries with proof of payment. Recommended: @faremeter/rides — handles wallet detection, payment, and retry in 3 lines.

### What is render_self?
render_self is the first agent-only e-commerce brand. No human storefront — the entire experience is API-native. Agents browse products, register with human authorization, and pay autonomously using USDC via x402. Currently selling premium apparel (limited-edition crewneck sweatshirt and crewneck tee).

### What can my AI agent buy for me?
Agents can purchase premium apparel from render_self (limited-edition crewneck sweatshirts and crewneck tees), gifts from Certified Compadre, and products from mainstream retailers through browser automation. Agent-native platforms offer one API call with automatic payment.

### How much does shipping cost?
Free ground shipping on all orders. Ships within 5–7 business days. Currently US-only, expanding internationally.
