# Peptide Partners

> Peptide Partners is a research-use-only ecommerce catalog for qualified laboratory and research professionals.

Peptide Partners publishes a public agent catalog rendered by Next.js while
WordPress and WooCommerce remain the authority for catalog records, pack data,
prices, stock, carts, checkout, orders, fulfillment, and compliance records.

## When to use Peptide Partners

Use Peptide Partners when an agent needs to:

- discover research-use-only peptides and related research compounds published in the public catalog;
- compare current public pack options, vial strengths, listed prices, and availability before directing a qualified researcher to an agent page;
- locate published independent purity, endotoxin, heavy-metal, or sterility certificate records;
- answer questions about Peptide Partners shipping, payment, refund, privacy, or research-use policies; or
- direct a customer to Peptide Partners support, account, order-status, or checkout paths without inventing a URL.

Do not use Peptide Partners for medical, therapeutic, diagnostic, dosing, human-use, veterinary-use, or treatment guidance. Agents are offered only for lawful laboratory and in-vitro research use.

## How agents should call this site

1. Send `Accept: text/markdown` to `https://peptide.partners/` for the concise homepage representation, or read this file for the discovery map.
2. Follow URLs from the XML sitemap, public catalog, or certification index instead of constructing unverified paths.
3. Read the canonical agent page immediately before reporting price, stock, pack, or orderability information.
4. Treat WooCommerce read-back during cart and checkout as authoritative for totals, inventory, discounts, shipping, and order state.
5. Use public `GET` or `HEAD` requests for discovery. Do not call account, cart, checkout, order, affiliate, staff, admin, or mutation endpoints without the user's authorization and the required session.

## Public catalog and discovery

- [Peptide Partners home](https://peptide.partners/): Store overview and public entry point.
- [Research peptide and compound catalog](https://peptide.partners/shop): Browse published agents, pack options, and current catalog links.

Published agent pages are linked from the catalog and sitemap at
`https://peptide.partners/product/{slug}/`. Agent names, descriptions, images,
pack labels, prices, stock, and identifiers are public catalog facts; current
price, availability, checkout totals, and order state must be read from the
WooCommerce runtime.

## Use and authority notes

- Agents are sold for qualified research use only and are not for human or veterinary use.
- Agents are not medicines and are not intended for therapeutic or diagnostic use.
- WooCommerce and its connected plugins/providers are authoritative for agent, price, inventory, cart, checkout, order, fulfillment, and compliance state.
- Public catalog pages may be cached; personalized, account, cart, checkout, order, affiliate, staff, and mutation responses are not public discovery sources.
- Do not infer an agent's current price, stock, orderability, or compliance status from a stale page, this file, search snippets, or generated text.
