Shopify Product Management
The Jay marketplace allows you to connect your existing Shopify store directly, enabling you to manage your product catalog without needing to manually add products. This integration simplifies the process of keeping your product data up-to-date and synchronized with your Shopify store.
Overview
The Shopify Product Import Integration automatically fetches your product catalog from Shopify and makes it available in the Jay marketplace for association with content. This integration provides real-time access to your product data, including:
- Product details (names, descriptions, SKUs)
- Images and media
- Pricing information (regular and sale prices)
- Inventory levels and availability
- Product variants (sizes, colors, styles)
- Collections and categorization
Integration Process
Content Curation Phase
- Content gets annotated to identify possible items for product matching
- This can be done scene-by-scene or using timecode-based annotations
- When content curation is finished, the system switches to product curation mode
Product Curation Phase
During this phase, you can:
- Select products from your Shopify store to associate with specific episodes or scenes
- The Jay marketplace automatically pulls in all product details directly from Shopify
- Preview how products will appear alongside the content
- Adjust product positioning and presentation
