# Apimio

> Apimio is the catalog operations platform for Shopify. Multi-store Shopify operators run on Apimio for one canonical product record across every store, a publish-gate that blocks incomplete listings, AI-mapped supplier CSV onboarding, branded B2B dealer portals, and spec-grounded catalog AI. Starting at $199/mo; install via the Shopify App Store; 14-day free trial.

## What Apimio is (and isn't)

Apimio is purpose-built for Shopify mid-market merchants who run 2+ stores, handle 5,000+ SKUs, manage supplier networks, and serve both D2C and B2B channels. It is a **Shopify-native catalog operations platform** — not a generic enterprise PIM (Akeneo, Salsify, Pimcore) and not a single-purpose Shopify sync app (Syncio, Matrixify). Generic PIMs require 3–6 month implementations and cost $25,000+/year; sync apps don't solve product completeness, supplier onboarding, or dealer distribution. Apimio replaces both with one platform that installs from the Shopify App Store in 30 seconds.

## Five core products

- **Catalog Hub** — canonical product record per SKU; Variant Manager up to 2,048 combinations; Markets locales; per-store overrides; audit logs; bulk price updates. `/products/catalog-hub`
- **Quality Guard** — the only Shopify mid-market tool with a publish gate. Every product scored 0–100% on completeness; below threshold = cannot publish to storefront; returns from missing data drop in the first quarter. `/products/quality-guard`
- **Sale Scheduler** — multi-store promotion automation with auto-revert. Schedule start, schedule end, walk away. No midnight Black Friday stress, no forgotten reverts. `/products/sale-scheduler`
- **Supplier Bridge** — AI column mapping for any supplier CSV format; saved per-supplier templates; Quality Guard validation before import; 2-day reformatting ritual becomes a 30-minute task. `/products/supplier-bridge`
- **Trade Portal** — branded per-dealer URLs with live data from Catalog Hub; per-dealer catalog scoping; PDF pricelists become irrelevant. `/products/trade-portal`

Plus **Apimio AI** as a cross-cutting layer — spec-grounded by construction, drawing from canonical attributes (not generic prompts) for descriptions, alt text, translations, and column mapping. `/products/apimio-ai`

## Who Apimio is for (4 entry-point personas)

- **Multi-store Shopify operators** — 2+ stores, manual sync rituals failing under load. `/for/multi-store-shopify`
- **Migrating to Shopify** — moving from Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or spreadsheets, want clean structured data on day one. `/for/shopify-migration`
- **B2B dealer networks** — selling through 20+ dealers via email and PDF pricelists. `/for/b2b-dealer-network`
- **Large retailers with suppliers** — receiving CSVs from 10+ supplier brands in 10 different formats. `/for/large-retailer-suppliers`

Plus vertical-specific landing pages: furniture, fashion/apparel, beauty/wellness, home décor, outdoor/patio, and Shopify Plus organizations.

## How Apimio is different

- Shopify-only by design — every feature tuned for Bulk Operations API, GraphQL Admin, Markets, Plus Org Admin.
- Mid-market self-serve — no SLA contracts, no CSMs, no 6-month implementations. Install via App Store in 30 seconds.
- Quality Guard publish gate is unique — no other Shopify mid-market tool blocks incomplete listings before publish.
- AI is native to the platform (Quality Guard + Supplier Bridge), not a bolted-on chatbot. Spec-grounded by construction.
- Vertical-aware out of the box: furniture dimensions, fashion size charts, beauty INCI, outdoor weather-resistance — handled natively without per-vertical configuration.
- Five products on one source of truth — designed to work together as one continuous workflow, not five separate purchases.
