Common questions before you install
Apimio is the catalog operations platform for Shopify — one canonical product record per SKU that powers every connected Shopify store, dealer portal, supplier ingestion workflow, and AI content pipeline. Starting at $199/mo, 14-day free trial.
30 seconds to install from the Shopify App Store; OAuth your store; first sync completes within minutes for most catalogs. Full ramp to running multi-store ops in 2 weeks.
Apimio is Shopify-native; Akeneo targets enterprise multi-channel syndication. Apimio is $199/mo with 30-second install; Akeneo is $25,000+/year with 3-6 month implementation. If Shopify is your primary channel, Apimio. If you syndicate to many non-Shopify retailers at enterprise scale, Akeneo.
Starter $199/mo (1 store, 5k SKUs); Growth $499/mo (5 stores, 25k SKUs); Plus custom (unlimited). All plans include Catalog Hub + Quality Guard + Sale Scheduler. Growth adds Supplier Bridge + Trade Portal. 14-day free trial, no credit card.
Yes — 14 days, full access, no credit card required to start. Install from the Shopify App Store.
Five products on one source of truth: Catalog Hub (canonical PIM layer), Quality Guard (publish gate), Sale Scheduler (multi-store promotions), Supplier Bridge (AI CSV imports), Trade Portal (B2B dealer portals). Plus Apimio AI as a cross-cutting layer for content + translations.
Apimio is Shopify-native and doesn't natively syndicate to Amazon/Walmart/etc. For non-Shopify channels you'd want Salsify or Akeneo. Most Shopify-only operators don't need that; Apimio focuses on doing Shopify deeply rather than every channel shallowly.
Yes — that's a core capability. Real-time bidirectional sync via webhooks + GraphQL. Per-store overrides where you need them (pricing, copy, visibility). Sub-second propagation on most updates.
Starter: 1 store. Growth: 5 stores. Plus: unlimited (we have Shopify Plus orgs running 8-12 stores). Each new store is a configuration toggle, not a setup project.
Yes — Trade Portal (in Growth + Plus tiers). Branded per-dealer URLs with live data from Catalog Hub. Per-dealer pricing tiers. PDF pricelist emails become irrelevant.
Yes — Supplier Bridge (in Growth + Plus). AI maps any supplier CSV/Excel format to Shopify schema on first import. Saved templates make every subsequent import one click.
No. Apimio AI is spec-grounded by construction — it draws from canonical product attributes inside Catalog Hub (your real data) rather than generic prompts. Spec accuracy is guaranteed by the data source, not by prompt engineering.
Yes — 50+ languages including Arabic, Japanese, Hindi, Korean, and right-to-left scripts. Translations preserve product specs (dimensions, INCI, GTINs) across locales.
Yes. Apimio uses fault-tolerant queues. If Shopify is unreachable, operations queue up and propagate when it comes back. Sale Scheduler retries failed price flips. You don't lose data or schedule integrity to a Shopify outage.
Cost: a 3-5 catalog-app stack is typically $250-500/mo. Apimio Starter at $199/mo replaces them all with deeper functionality. Operational: one platform = one configuration vs five separate failure modes. Most teams consolidate once their Shopify app spend exceeds $200/mo.
