Commerce data · Feeds and catalogue

Product data and feeds the team does not have to keep repairing manually.

We design rules for products, variants, categories, attributes, images, supplier imports and XML feeds so the Shopify catalogue supports sales, SEO, advertising and internal work.

Products, variants and categories
XML feeds, imports and validation
SEO, ads and marketplace readiness
Typical symptoms

When the catalogue slows the business down

  • product data is fixed manually after every import
  • the feed fails validation or misses fields
  • variants, categories or attributes are inconsistent
  • SEO, ads or marketplaces suffer from poor data quality
Desired outcome

What the outcome should be

  • clear product data source rules
  • more stable product import or export
  • better category, variant and attribute mapping
  • visible errors, logs and controlled cleanup process
Scope

The catalogue is reviewed from source to every destination.

  • Source files, APIs and product identifiers
  • Variants, categories, attributes, pricing and media
  • Transformations for Shopify, advertising or marketplaces
  • Validation, error report and import retries
Scope

When this service fits

  • a Shopify store with a larger catalogue
  • a team with supplier imports
  • a store with marketplace or affiliate feeds
  • a store before migration to Shopify

FAQ

Specific answers before the first conversation.

Is this a Shopify service or a data project?

Both. If product data feeds Shopify, SEO, ads or marketplaces, it is a commerce data project with direct impact on Shopify operations.

Can you handle supplier feeds?

Yes, depending on format, data quality and usage rights. We first assess the source, required fields, changes and update frequency.

Do we need a PIM?

Not always. PIM helps with complex catalogues, but a smaller catalogue can start with rules, import and better data control.

Have a catalogue or feed the team can no longer maintain manually?

Send the product source, feed destination or an example problem. We will suggest whether to start with data audit, import, export or catalogue rules.
