Your product content perfectly optimized for everywhere you sell

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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