## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability x402-broker-dtc-merchant-benchmark-75b4f20e
```

Example prompt: Can you run a DTC merchant benchmark on shopify.com and give me the performance score and ROI proof metrics?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, paid-but-cheap benchmark score for any direct-to-consumer merchant URL, especially when you want compressed ROI proof metrics alongside the raw benchmark data. Prefer this over manual audits or general web scrapers when you need structured, scored output about merchant store quality in a single API call.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid store_url results in empty or error data response
- Unreachable merchant URL may cause timeout or empty benchmark results
- Malformed input object missing required type or method fields returns schema validation error
- Payment of $0.01 USDC not fulfilled results in 402 Payment Required response

## How this service works

Universal B2A/A2A/MCP Meta-Router & Autonomous Tool Marketplace indexing 7,340+ live capabilities across x402 v2 (5-chain EVM USDC), IETF MPP, and L402 with TDQS quality scoring and zero-fee pass-through execution.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a status field, a data object containing benchmark results, and an roi_proof object that includes a compression_ratio_pct (e.g. 91.4%) indicating how efficiently the store's performance data was summarized or scored.
