# buy_search_stores

> Find orderable stores inside a multi-store merchant by name

Finds orderable stores within a multi-store merchant (DoorDash) by name, so you can pick one with [buy\_select\_store](/companies/mcp/tools/buy_select_store) before searching products. Single-store merchants (a Rappi region, Good Eggs) do not need this.

<Note>Not advertised in `tools/list` by default — the [buy](/companies/mcp/tools/buy) tool covers this conversationally. Expert integrations can still call it by name.</Note>

## Parameters

| Parameter  | Type   | Required | Description                    |
| ---------- | ------ | -------- | ------------------------------ |
| `merchant` | string | Yes      | The multi-store merchant slug. |
| `query`    | string | Yes      | The store name to search for.  |

## Returns

A line per matching store with its name and id, plus its kind and address when available. Pass a store id to `buy_select_store` to scope shopping to it. If nothing matches, it returns "No stores found."

## Example

```json theme={null}
{ "name": "buy_search_stores", "arguments": { "merchant": "doordash", "query": "Zuni Cafe" } }
```
