AI agents are already shopping.Run the channel.
Clearway Forge shows the revenue ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude bring your store, makes your catalogue readable to AI agents — and, with Pro, keeps every agent action permissioned, logged and reversible.
AI is already selling your store. See it. Sell to it. Stay in control.
Your store is an airfield and AI agents are already on approach — but analytics gives you no tower. Clearway Forge is the tower: it sees every landing, lights the runway for the next one, and holds any agent that reaches for the controls.
Most AI-referred visits arrive with no referrer. Your analytics files the channel under “Direct” — the bogeys fade off the screen.

Three jobs, and the tower does all three.
See the channel, make the catalogue readable to agents, and, with Pro, keep every action they take permissioned and reversible.
AI revenue attribution
First-party detection of agent and assistant traffic ties orders to the AI channel — including the visits analytics loses.
It shows its work
Next to every number, how it was identified: a referrer, a campaign tag, or an assistant that fetched the same page moments earlier. Estimates are labelled as estimates.
llms.txt & catalogue feed
llms.txt and llms-full.txt are generated from your live products and kept in sync. Pro adds a machine-readable catalogue feed with a price, stock, link and image for every product.
Crawler log
Which AI crawlers read your store, how often, and whether they are who they say they are — checked against the address lists their vendors publish, once you switch that on.
Permissions & approvals (Pro)
Each agent gets its own key and scopes. By default, any write an agent makes waits in the approval queue; a permission matrix lets you allow, hold or deny each action per agent.
Tamper-evident journal & undo (Pro)
Every agent action lands in an append-only journal — inspect it, prove it, roll it back.
The log tells a shopper from a scraper.
10 known agents in this window, and only some of them are customers. The log names every visit, marks how it was verified, and separates the 3 assistants that buy from the crawlers that only read. What it cannot verify, it marks as declared or spoofed, never as verified.
Verification is a state, not a guess: verified when the address is inside the ranges the vendor publishes, declared when only the user agent matched, spoofed when the address contradicts them.
$2,315.70 proven — 91% of it The rest waits for evidence. Address-shape heuristics ship off, because the first number you see has to be one you can defend.
106 sessions recovered out of “Direct” — 27% of the AI traffic your analytics filed as nothing.
Install, light the beacons, hold the controls.
Install the plugin
Clearway Forge measures the AI channel from your own server from day one — no keys to wire up, no script on your storefront.
Read the channel
Every AI visit and every order it leads to, with how each was identified. llms.txt is on by default, so assistants can read the catalogue.
Approve and grow
With Pro, agents act inside the permissions you set, and the monthly report shows what the channel earned.
An agent reached for the price. You decide, and the chain remembers.
This is the real approval queue with the real journal behind it. Refuse the price cut, roll back the write the agent already made, then try to roll it back twice — the product will not let you, and it says why.

Works with the agent stack
One email a month. The whole channel in it.
No dashboard to babysit. On the 1st the tower writes to the owner — the same numbers you have just read, in an envelope.
One tower, however many storefronts.
No upsells, no surprises.
What runs where in Clearway Forge
Which work happens inside your own install, what leaves it, what needs a paid plan, and what a lapsed licence leaves behind.
What the free tier does inside your own install
- AI-traffic attribution & revenue
- Every AI visit and every order it leads to, attributed with first-party data.
- Estimates are labelled as estimates and reported separately from proven revenue
What leaves your site when a feature is on, and where it goes
- Attribution is computed from your own site traffic and orders.
- Once a day, and only after you switch on crawler address verification, Maintenance GETs the published IP-range lists of the AI crawlers it recognises and stores them in an option; no store data, site identifier or visitor address goes with the request.
- The Pro add-on asks https://api.avakode.com/updates/clearwayforge whenever WordPress checks for plugin updates; the site address, and the licence key if you have one, travel in request headers.
- Licence checks POST to https://api.avakode.com.
What needs Pro, credits or an outside service
- Agent permissions, the journal and undo are Pro, in a separate plugin.
- The monthly digest email is Pro.
What happens when the licence lapses
- An expired licence is a named outcome with its own message; the free attribution and llms.txt surfaces keep running.
- Expired and inactive are separate licence states, so a revoked licence is not read as a server hiccup.
- A lapse deletes no rows: options go away on uninstall.
How long data is kept, and how you take it out
- The daily clean-up deletes crawler-hit and visitor-session rows older than the retention setting, 400 days by default.
- A retention setting below 30 days is raised to 30, so the clean-up never prunes more recent rows.
- Pro exports rows as CSV.
What owners ask before they switch it on
Own the AI channel before your competitors notice it.
The free core counts the AI visits and the orders they lead to, and publishes your llms.txt. Pro adds the monthly report, a catalogue feed for agents, agent permissions, the journal, the undo and priority email support.
One forge. Twelve tools. One fire.
