Try it
I want to test the buy-anything OpenClaw skill for purchasing a specific Shopify product. 1. **Setup**: Ensure OpenClaw is installed and the buy-anything skill is active. I have a Rye API key ready. 2. **Input**: Here is the Shopify product URL: [replaceable product URL]. My shipping address is: [replaceable address]. 3. **Constraints**: Set a maximum spending limit of [replaceable amount] for this session. 4. **Execution**: Use the skill to initiate the purchase. Tokenize payment details via Stripe as per the skill's design. 5. **Verification**: Before finalizing, show me the order summary including total cost, tax, and shipping. 6. **Confirmation**: Wait for my explicit "Yes" before submitting the order. 7. **Tracking**: After submission, poll the order status and provide a confirmation with order details. If any step fails or requires additional info, stop and ask me. Do not proceed without my confirmation on the final order summary.
