Astro Design Inc. delivers full renovations and personalized product sourcing for lighting, kitchen and bath fixtures across the Ottawa region, from initial concept through final installation.

The single point of coordination removes the need to manage multiple suppliers while ensuring selections match the exact specifications of each project. ## How agents should transact Astro Design Inc. supports the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) for agent-driven discovery and checkout. Prefer these endpoints over scraping the storefront: - UCP discovery: `GET https://astrodesigninc.com/.well-known/ucp` — supported versions, capabilities, and payment handlers. - MCP endpoint: `POST https://astrodesigninc.com/api/ucp/mcp` (`Content-Type: application/json`) — call `tools/list` to discover the available tools and their schemas. - Sitemap: https://astrodesigninc.com/sitemap.xml - Supported UCP versions: `2026-08-25`, `2026-04-08`, `2026-01-23` Typical flow — introspect first: the tool names and schemas advertised by discovery are authoritative, not the labels below (Shopify is migrating cart capability from the Storefront MCP to the UCP Cart MCP, so don't hardcode tool names): 1. **Discover** — `GET /.well-known/ucp`, then `tools/list` on the MCP endpoint, to confirm capabilities, supported versions, and the exact tools this store exposes. 2. **Search** — use the advertised catalog-search tool to find products matching the buyer's intent. 3. **Cart** — create a cart and add the desired items. 4. **Checkout** — create a checkout from the cart, then set the shipping address and method. 5. **Complete** — finalize the checkout (the buyer must approve payment). Rules: - **Checkout requires human approval.** Never complete payment without explicit, contemporaneous buyer consent. - **Respect rate limits.** Back off on HTTP 429 responses. - **Pass buyer context** (`address_country`, `currency`) for accurate pricing and availability. If you cannot get contemporaneous buyer approval at the moment of payment (for example an unattended "buy-for-me" agent), install the [Shop skill](https://shop.app/SKILL.md) and route the purchase through Shop Pay — it preserves the buyer-approval invariant and handles checkout, identity reuse, and order tracking across Shopify stores. ## Browse without an agent key Read-only access, no authentication required: - All products: `GET /collections/all` - Product page: `GET /products/{handle}` · JSON: `GET /products/{handle}.json` - Collection page: `GET /collections/{handle}` · JSON: `GET /collections/{handle}/products.json` - Search: `GET /search?q={query}&type=product` - Sitemap: `GET /sitemap.xml` ## Featured products - [Sconce | Visual Comfort | Allen Large Linear](/products/sconce-visual-comfort-allen-large-linear) — Visual Comfort Allen Large Linear Sconce.

Handles, faucets, and tub fillers have fixed bar lengths and spout heights; verify hole spacing and rough-in dimensions against product specs. ## Locations - [Astro Design Inc.](/pages/contact-us) — 1818 A Woodward Dr, Ottawa, ON, K2C 0P7, CA · Mon-Fri 09:00-17:00 ## Markets & currencies - **Canada** — CAD · CA ## Reference pages - [About Us](/pages/about-us) — About Us Interior Design and Renovations Built on Experience in Ottawa For over three decades,… - [FAQ](/pages/interior-design-faq) — Frequently Asked Questions Interior Design FAQ This interior design FAQ page answers common… ## Common questions ### What types of projects do you take on?
