Take Your Product Content to Magento with PIM

So, you’ve finally decided to take the plunge and start selling online (it’s about time!). Or you’ve decided to migrate your ecommerce store to Magento 2. Whatever the reason, you can’t go wrong with Magento, now known as Adobe Commerce. It’s the largest open-source ecommerce platform and ideal for brands looking for a scalable solution that is user-friendly, easy to integrate with third-party apps, responsive, and offers multiple deployment choices. 

But, as great as it is, it isn’t a superhero platform that can miraculously send your data to it. What you need is a PIM tool to format your data and meet the requirements of the platform.

What are Magento’s product requirements? 

Product information is the cornerstone for any business, but particularly an ecommerce store. 

In a physical store, a customer can browse your product offering and come to a decision. But with an ecommerce store, your descriptions, pictures, videos, product reviews, and other technical information are what convert a sale. However, having a compelling description won’t help if your product content isn’t formatted correctly for the platform you’re selling on.

With Magento, you need to have; 

• SKUs 
• Product names and descriptions
• Product gallery, e.g., thumbnails, images, videos 
• Attributes, e.g., pricing, size, weight, volume, color, categories, country of manufacturer, etc. 
• Customer reviews 
• Upselling, cross-selling
• Product availability
• Product variations 
• Product type 
• Inventory tracking
• Meta keywords
• Popular search terms 

To stand out, you need high-quality images, videos, rich content, and an optimized mobile layout. In addition to that, you need breadcrumbs to make page navigation easier for users.

We understand that product information is a fundamental part of selling and engaging customers, so how do you manage this when you have a thousand SKUs? It’s simple. By getting a product catalog management tool software that is also known as a PIM tool.
