    Zinc lets AI agents buy products from online retailers via a single API. Use
    POST /agent/orders to place an order — no Zinc account needed, payment is
    handled via MPP (HTTP 402 flow). Provide a product URL (e.g. Amazon),
    shipping address, and max_price in cents. The API charges max_price + $1 API
    fee upfront and refunds the difference on completion. Authenticated
    endpoints (orders, products, managed-accounts) require a Bearer token (API
    key prefixed zn_). Docs: https://zinc.com/docs
