Your next customer is an AI agent. Decide what it may see, do and spend.
Bouncer sorts every visitor to your store into a lane, reads the data already on the request, and returns a decision on the spot: allow, limit, hold, offer, step up, or point the agent to a better path.
Free observe tier. No card. Five minutes to set up.

Four jobs on every request
Sort into a lane
Human, verified shopping agent, AI search, training crawler, research agent, or unknown automation.
Read the data points
Who the agent is and who it acts for, what's in the cart, what's in stock, where it comes from, and at checkout the card's issuer, network and type.
Run your rules
Lane defaults first, then your own: when this lane, and these conditions, then this action.
Return a decision
Allow, limit, hold, offer, step up, or a structured reply the agent can follow. Logged and attributed.
⚡ Rules run at the edge. Refused traffic never reaches your server.
Six lanes. Two dropdowns and a limit each.
No roles, scopes or access lists to learn. Each lane gets Can see, Can do, a spend limit and a switch. Done in five minutes.

What each lane may read and take. Summaries for crawlers, live stock only for buyers, check-in holds for anything unidentified.

💬 When a shopping agent · and the card is a premium credit card on file · then allow up to $2,000 with no step-up.
💬 When a shopping agent · and the card is prepaid · then reply: use the card on file, pay by bank, or hand off to the customer.
Offers and recovery for agents buying on behalf of real people.
💬 When a shopping agent · and a product is viewed twice · then return a 10% first-order coupon.
💬 When a shopping agent · and the cart is idle ten minutes · then hold stock and return a one-time code.
