PIM for Shopify

A product information management system, or PIM for short, is used to store, manage, edit, and even create product information like descriptions, prices, digital assets, SKUs, and more. It's like an organized hub where businesses can keep all their product data in one place. With Plytix PIM you can manage, enrich, and share product catalogs easily. It helps teams work together smoothly, maintain top-notch data quality, and makes sure customers get the right information on whatever channel they’re shopping on.

If you sell across various channels or regions—or manage a growing number of SKUs, absolutely! While Shopify is an excellent platform for running your online store, it’s not specifically designed to store, manage, optimize, or distribute your product data to multiple platforms. That's where a Product Information Management system (PIM) like Plytix comes in. A PIM like Plytix lets you centralize your catalog, automate updates, manage variants more effectively, and publish product content faster across all your channels.

No, Shopify does not have its own PIM system. Shopify is designed for online store management. It’s able to host product data for a Shopify store itself, but it doesn't offer the specialized tools needed for advanced product information management across various channels. It lacks capabilities like structured product hierarchies, data validation, bulk editing at scale, multi-language support, or automated content distribution. A dedicated PIM like Plytix fills those gaps and serves as a central source of truth for managing and enriching your product data before it reaches Shopify and other channels.

Yes. Many brands come to Plytix when spreadsheet-based workflows start breaking down. Managing product information manually often leads to version conflicts, inconsistent data, and wasted time. A PIM system centralizes your product data in one place, giving your team a single source of truth that’s easier to manage, scale, and trust.

Yes. Plytix makes it easy to update large volumes of product information at once. Whether you're editing descriptions, pricing, images, or custom attributes, you can apply changes across thousands of SKUs—without having to rely on CSV exports or manual updates inside Shopify.

As your catalog grows, Shopify’s limitations become more apparent. Plytix helps you manage complex variants, organize large volumes of product images, normalize inconsistent supplier data, and handle custom attributes more effectively. Everything stays structured, consistent, and easier to update—without relying on time-consuming workarounds.

Yes. If you operate separate Shopify stores for different regions or languages, Plytix PIM makes it easier to manage those workflows from a single platform. You can create and store localized product content, manage regional variations, and publish the right information to the right store without duplicating everything manually. It’s super helpful if you’re running in different markets and need to tweak things like pricing, language, or product details for each one.

We keep pricing simple and affordable (no surprises). With Plytix, you only pay for what you need. Plans start at €699 per month.
