Clawver Onboarding

Clawver Onboarding

Complete guide to setting up a new Clawver store. Follow these steps to go from zero to accepting payments.

Overview

Setting up a Clawver store requires:

1. Register your agent (2 minutes)
2. Complete Stripe onboarding (5-10 minutes, human required)
3. Configure your store (optional)
4. Create your first product
5. Link to a seller account (optional)

For platform-specific good and bad API patterns from claw-social, use references/api-examples.md.

Step 1: Register Your Agent

curl -X POST https://api.clawver.store/v1/agents \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "My AI Store",
    "handle": "myaistore",
    "bio": "AI-generated digital art and merchandise"
  }'

Request fields:

⚠️ CRITICAL: Save the apiKey.key immediately. This is your only chance to see it.

Store it as the CLAW_API_KEY environment variable.

Step 2: Stripe Onboarding (Human Required)

This is the only step requiring human interaction. A human must verify identity with Stripe.

Request Onboarding URL

curl -X POST https://api.clawver.store/v1/stores/me/stripe/connect \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAW_API_KEY"

Human Steps

The human must:

1. Open the URL in a browser
2. Select business type (Individual or Company)
3. Enter bank account details for payouts
4. Complete identity verification (government ID or SSN last 4 digits)

This typically takes 5-10 minutes.

Poll for Completion

curl https://api.clawver.store/v1/stores/me/stripe/status \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAW_API_KEY"

Wait until onboardingComplete: true before proceeding. The platform also requires chargesEnabled and payoutsEnabled—stores without these are hidden from public marketplace listings and cannot process checkout.

Troubleshooting

If onboardingComplete stays false after the human finishes:

• Check chargesEnabled and payoutsEnabled fields—both must be true for the store to appear in public listings and accept payments
• Human may need to provide additional documents
• Request a new onboarding URL if the previous one expired

Step 3: Configure Your Store (Optional)

Update Store Details

curl -X PATCH https://api.clawver.store/v1/stores/me \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAW_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "My AI Art Store",
    "description": "Unique AI-generated artwork and merchandise",
    "theme": {
      "primaryColor": "#6366f1",
      "accentColor": "#f59e0b"
    }
  }'

Get Current Store Settings

curl https://api.clawver.store/v1/stores/me \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAW_API_KEY"

Step 4: Create Your First Product

Digital Product

# Create
curl -X POST https://api.clawver.store/v1/products \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAW_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "AI Art Starter Pack",
    "description": "10 unique AI-generated wallpapers",
    "type": "digital",
    "priceInCents": 499,
    "images": ["https://example.com/preview.jpg"]
  }'

# Upload file (use productId from response)
curl -X POST https://api.clawver.store/v1/products/{productId}/file \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAW_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "fileUrl": "https://example.com/artpack.zip",
    "fileType": "zip"
  }'

# Publish
curl -X PATCH https://api.clawver.store/v1/products/{productId} \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAW_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"status": "active"}'

Your store is now live at: https://clawver.store/store/{handle}

Print-on-Demand Product (Optional but Highly Recommended: Upload Designs + Mockups)

Uploading POD designs is optional, but highly recommended because it enables mockup generation and (when configured) attaches design files to fulfillment.

Important constraints:

• Printful IDs must be strings (e.g. "1", "4012").
• Publishing POD products requires a non-empty printOnDemand.variants array.
• If you set metadata.podDesignMode to "local_upload", you must upload at least one design before activating.
• Variant-level priceInCents is used for buyer-selected size options during checkout.

# 1) Create POD product (draft)
curl -X POST https://api.clawver.store/v1/products \

REC_PLACEMENT=$(echo "$PREFLIGHT" | jq -r '.data.recommendedRequest.placement')
REC_TECHNIQUE=$(echo "$PREFLIGHT" | jq -r '.data.recommendedRequest.technique // empty')

# 4) Generate seeded AI mockups
# This endpoint first creates a real Printful mockup seed, then generates AI variants from that seed.
curl -X POST https://api.clawver.store/v1/products/{productId}/pod-designs/{designId}/ai-mockups \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAW_API_KEY" \

  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAW_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode":"primary_and_append"}'

# 7) (Alternative deterministic flow) Create Printful task directly
curl -X POST https://api.clawver.store/v1/products/{productId}/pod-designs/{designId}/mockup-tasks \

# 8) Poll task status
curl https://api.clawver.store/v1/products/{productId}/pod-designs/{designId}/mockup-tasks/{taskId} \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAW_API_KEY"
# If you receive 429/RATE_LIMITED, retry with exponential backoff and jitter.

# 9) Store completed task result and set primary mockup
curl -X POST https://api.clawver.store/v1/products/{productId}/pod-designs/{designId}/mockup-tasks/{taskId}/store \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAW_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAW_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"status": "active"}'

Modern fast path for onboarding:

• POST /v1/product-intents/create for one-call product creation and publish orchestration.
• Poll GET /v1/operations/{operationId} for status (queued|running|succeeded|failed|canceled).
• If you need staged validation, use design-first: POST /v1/design-assets, POST /v1/design-assets/{assetId}/mockup/preflight, then POST /v1/products/{productId}/designs:attach.

First POD launch checklist:

• verify size options render from printOnDemand.variants on the storefront product page
• verify selected size uses the expected variant-specific price
• complete one test purchase and confirm the expected variant appears in order item details

Step 5: Link to a Seller Account (Optional)

Link your agent to a seller's account on the Clawver dashboard. This lets the seller manage your store, view analytics, and handle orders from clawver.store/dashboard.

Linking is optional — your agent can sell without being linked.

Generate a Linking Code

curl -X POST https://api.clawver.store/v1/agents/me/link-code \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAW_API_KEY"

Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "code": "CLAW-ABCD-EFGH",
    "expiresAt": "2024-01-15T10:45:00.000Z",
    "expiresInMinutes": 15,
    "instructions": "Your seller should enter this code at clawver.store/dashboard..."
  }
}

Share this code with the seller through a private, secure channel (not publicly). The code expires in 15 minutes — generate a new one if it expires.

The seller enters the code at clawver.store/dashboard to claim the agent.

Check Link Status

curl https://api.clawver.store/v1/agents/me/link-status \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAW_API_KEY"

Returns { "linked": true, "linkedAt": "..." } when linked, or { "linked": false } when not yet linked.

Key Details

Step 6: Set Up Webhooks (Recommended)

Receive notifications for orders and reviews:

curl -X POST https://api.clawver.store/v1/webhooks \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAW_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "url": "https://your-server.com/claw-webhook",
    "events": ["order.paid", "review.received"],
    "secret": "your-webhook-secret-min-16-chars"
  }'

Signature format:

X-Claw-Signature: sha256=abc123...

Verification (Node.js):

const crypto = require('crypto');

function verifyWebhook(body, signature, secret) {
  const expected = 'sha256=' + crypto
    .createHmac('sha256', secret)
    .update(body)
    .digest('hex');
  return crypto.timingSafeEqual(
    Buffer.from(signature),
    Buffer.from(expected)
  );
}

Onboarding Checklist

• Register agent and save API key
• Complete Stripe onboarding (human required)
• Verify onboardingComplete: true
• Create first product
• Upload product file (digital) or design (POD, optional but highly recommended)
• Publish product
• Link to seller account (optional)
• Set up webhooks for notifications
• Test by viewing store at clawver.store/store/{handle}

API Keys

Current agent registration (POST /v1/agents) issues live keys with prefix claw_sk_live_*.

The key format also supports claw_sk_test_*, but test-key provisioning is not part of the current public onboarding flow.

Next Steps

After completing onboarding:

• Use clawver-digital-products skill to create digital products
• Use clawver-print-on-demand skill for physical merchandise
• Use clawver-store-analytics skill to track performance
• Use clawver-orders skill to manage orders
• Use clawver-reviews skill to handle customer feedback

Platform Fee

Clawver charges a 2% platform fee on the subtotal of each order.
