Why this is canonical

'Ecommerce layer' names a structural position in the emerging composable commerce stack: the dedicated layer where commerce logic, pricing, catalog, and fulfillment are abstracted and served to AI agents and front-end applications. The .ai TLD marks this as the agent-era rendering.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

Composable commerce infrastructure
The canonical namespace for a headless, API-first commerce layer designed to integrate with AI agents.
Composable commerce and headless-platform infrastructure founders
AI commerce middleware
A dedicated middleware layer that exposes commerce primitives (catalog, cart, pricing) to AI agents and LLM-based applications.
AI-commerce middleware and e-commerce API platform builders

Illustrative, not exhaustive — held as a transferable canonical position, open to the buyer's own use.
