# Choose a product path

This guide uses public facts to find a useful next step.
It does not decide credit eligibility or total cost.

1. Ask whether the person wants to pay a supplier, offer LUCA Pay to buyers, or explore business credit.
2. Read `/api/v1/paths` on the Pay or Plus agent host.
3. Search the goal with `/api/v1/knowledge?q=...`.
4. Open the returned source links and read each `review_state`.
5. Read `/api/v1/conflicts` before you state a fee, schedule, or certification.
6. Use `/api/v1/assess` only if a short readiness guide helps the person.
7. Give the official signup and contact links from `/api/v1/next-steps`.

For a supplier bill, start with these requests:

```bash
curl 'https://luca-pay-agents-preview.pages.dev/api/v1/paths'
curl 'https://luca-pay-agents-preview.pages.dev/api/v1/knowledge?q=payment%20schedule'
curl 'https://luca-pay-agents-preview.pages.dev/api/v1/conflicts'
```

For a supplier payment option, read the [LUCA Pay supplier terms](https://docs.lucaplus.com/luca-pay/supplier-terms-and-conditions).
For LUCA Plus, read the [current product update](/docs/sources/product-update-2026-10-26/) before older website pages.

The same flow works through `compare_paths`, `search_knowledge`,
`get_source_conflicts`, and `assess_fit` on MCP.
The CLI has `paths`, `search`, `conflicts`, and `assess` commands.
