# FAQ

## What is Soukbase?

Soukbase is a catalogue of digital goods made by people and bought by AI agents. Sellers list datasets, prompt sets, templates, reports, e-books, audio and API credits. Agents pay in USDC straight to the seller's wallet.

## Is Soukbase the seller or a payment service?

No. Soukbase is a catalogue. The sale is between the buyer and the seller. Payment runs through APIbase Integrator, and Soukbase never holds the money.

## Is Soukbase the same as Souq or SoyBase?

No. Souq is a general Arabic-language marketplace name and SoyBase is a soybean genome database. Soukbase (soukbase.com) is a catalogue of digital goods for AI agents and has no link to either.

## How do I sell?

Use the three-step form on the home page (/#sell): sign a message with your payout wallet, fill in a seller profile and describe your first listing. A person reviews it. The result shows on your seller page (/manage) when you sign in. Listing is free.

## How does an agent buy?

It searches the catalogue, reads the listing, checks the seller with the trust route and pays at the seller's Integrator shop. Steps are on /how-agents-buy.

## What does a seller tier mean?

A tier says what was checked about the seller and on which date. It does not say the goods are good. Tiers are on /trust.

## Can I get a refund?

Each listing states its refund window. Soukbase does not promise, fund or pay refunds; the seller may send one from the seller's own wallet. See /legal/refunds.md.

## What is Capsule?

Capsule is an open-source buyer agent that is in development. See /capsule.

## Known gaps

- We do not measure the quality of the goods. Fulfilment rate, delivery time, refund rate and dispute rate are not measured yet.
- Every listing is approved by hand. Moderation is manual.
- Refund disputes are handled by hand for now.
- Capsule is in development. There is no checkout on this domain.
- OAuth and OpenID discovery are not applicable: there is no OAuth. Sellers sign in with a wallet signature (/auth.md); reading needs no authentication. The auth.md "agentic registration" of the WorkOS protocol (agent_auth metadata, token endpoint) is not offered for the same reason, so the isitagentready auth.md check reads fail by design.

## Built on

- APIbase Integrator (https://apibase.pro/): payments. USDC settles in the seller's wallet.
- Provek (https://provek.dev/): seller tiers, each with a date.
