We use the Shopify connector to create and update 6 webshops in multiple languages. It has been the easiest way of adding and updating products—easier than any other Shopify app out there. The main benefit is that the source of truth still remains the PIM.

What I like most about Plytix is the feature called “Channels”. Here, we can format, edit and export our product data to our online sales channels, matching our partner’s requirements for datasheets. By automating this process, we save a lot of time previously spent managing these tasks manually.

Plytix stops our small team filling in the same information again and again for different retailers, it quickly updates products on our Shopify store and acts as a hub for agents to self-serve themselves when they require images or product lists.

See if Plytix is the right solution for you

There's no such thing as the perfect PIM for all companies. But for every company, there's a perfect PIM.

Let’s find out if we are yours in a short intro call.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a product feed URL and a product feed file?

Both are CSV, XLSX, or XML files that contain the product information you choose. The difference lies in how that information is sent out.

A product feed URL has its own unique live link to keep product data up to date. That means you can just paste these product feed links (or feed URLs) to wherever you need to import the information. Then the feed will update the information automatically on the schedule that you want, so you don’t have to!

A product feed file is the downloadable version of that automatically-updated feed. Anytime that you want to send a spreadsheet to a marketplace or a customer, this is the option for you.

What is a template?

Templates are basically spreadsheets provided by your customer or sales channel with the specific requirements (like category names or formats) that they require. From here, all you need to do is upload a sample CSV template to your Plytix account, and match your product attributes, or characteristics, to the template’s structure!

While the idea is simple, getting your information formatted correctly without any mistakes is tricky and time consuming—unless you’re working straight from your PIM.

Is Plytix a feed management tool?

While Plytix isn’t a dedicated feed management tool, our Channels feature functions as one. By definition, a feed management tool is a software that allows you to upload a digital file and reproduce it many times in different ways. And that’s exactly what our Channels feature does! 

With Plytix, you can manage and create feeds to send product information—just like a feed management tool would. What’s different about Plytix is that we designed it to be a place where you and your team can collaborate to get your product information ready for all your different sales channels.

Is it recommended to use a feed management tool to manage my products?

You can, but it’s not recommended. This is because you’re at high risk for inaccurate and error-filled data. Not only that, but these tools don’t help with optimizing your product information. That’s important because each sales channel has different requirements about how to structure and format your product information.

Take Amazon, for example. If you send your product information as is from your feed management tool to Amazon, your products probably won’t match Amazon’s requirements and they will get rejected. You need to provide accurate product information that is properly formatted and structured—and that’s what our tool is made to help you do.

Why do I need Plytix if my Shopify account already connects with Amazon & Google Shopping?

Shopify wasn’t designed for you to manage and create content for multichannel sales. Copying and pasting your product information directly from Shopify won't lead to success on Amazon, Google Shopping, or any other channel because the information won’t be optimized for that channel’s requirements. Plytix allows you to transform and prepare your product information so that it’s tailored perfectly to wherever you want to sell.

What sales channels/ecommerce platforms does Plytix integrate with?

Wherever you sell, you can use Plytix to get your products online. The process varies depending on the platform, but they all have one thing in common: using Plytix for multichannel distribution is much easier and faster than doing it manually.

For details on how Plytix works with your specific combination of sales channels, book a demo with us. We'll walk through your exact scenario with you and answer any questions.

Do you integrate directly with marketplaces?

No, we don’t. But while we may not have a direct integration to your marketplace, Plytix makes it easy for you to optimize and tailor your product information for each marketplace you sell on. When you’re ready to add or upload products, using Plytix to fill out your datasheets will save you time and effort, so that all you have to do is upload your automatically-updated file to your marketplace.

Can I send different products and information to different channels?

Yes, you can choose exactly which products you want to send to each channel. We even have excel-like formulas (called computed attributes) to help you format your product information based on the requirements of each channel.

How much does this cost?

Channels are a paid feature, just like our other output (Brand Portals). The cost depends on how many outputs are included in your plan.
