Challenges
Dropshipping dies in the content bottleneck — weak titles, thin SEO, bad images, messy locales, and risky auto-publish. The brief: prove an end-to-end sale with minimal human effort, without letting unsupervised AI torch the brand or the P&L.
Solution & details
Step-gated enrichment pipeline, English-canonical / Hebrew translation publishing, explicit confirmations for publish and supplier writes, agent config UI, CLI + web operator surfaces, and architecture built so Shopify owns checkout, payments, and orders while Mercury owns differentiation.
