Operator guide
Current through Jul 8, 2026, 496 CrawlDex rows match this report's evidence criteria.
Which commerce and local-order rows show blockers or user-present boundaries before a reliable retail task result?
Rows qualify when commerce or food/local tasks involve order, checkout, pickup, delivery, return, or refund work and carry at least one substantive friction signal.
What site owners can make clearer
- Expose order, pickup, delivery, return, and refund states in stable public text.
- Keep fee, stock, and delivery-window changes visible before final confirmation.
- Return clear confirmation states after order or support actions.
What agent builders should plan for
- Preflight retail order routes before promising pickup, delivery, return, or refund outcomes.
- Pause before final order, payment, cancellation, or return-request submission.
- Compare current fees and availability against the user's instruction before approval.
