Shopify store setup with products loaded.

A new Shopify store with a beautiful theme and twelve products looks unfinished. The slow part of opening is rarely the design; it is turning supplier data into hundreds of consistent product pages. That is the part we do.

What you get

• Products created with titles, descriptions, vendor, product type and tags
• Variants built from your sizes, colours or other options, with SKUs, prices and stock
• Images matched and ordered, with alt text
• Collections created from a structure we agree with you, such as category, season or brand
• Handles, SEO titles and meta descriptions prepared for each product
• Metafields for the specs your theme or filters will show
• A checked, approved catalog that is ready for the day you switch the store on
• A QA report and the final import files, so you have a record

How it works

1. You send your supplier files, images and any rules about naming and pricing. Add us as a staff account; we never need your password.
2. We inspect everything, propose a collection structure and send a fixed quote. A free 10-product sample is available if the project is a fit.
3. Our AI engine builds the volume. A person reviews every output.
4. We load the catalog as drafts so nothing shows on a public store. You review the sample, then the full set.
5. After your approval we set products active, or leave them as drafts for you to publish at launch.

Turnaround is from 48 hours for eligible projects; turnaround depends on scope, catalog complexity and the quality of the data and access we receive.

What a launch-ready catalog needs

Opening a store is more than uploading rows. These are the pieces that decide whether the catalog works when real shoppers arrive.

A collection structure planned before the upload

Collections drive your menu and navigation. Decide the structure first: two or three top-level categories, then sub-groups, then merchandising collections like "New in" or "Under 1,000". Automated collections depend on consistent tags and product types, so we set those during the build. The Shopify collections guide explains the options.

Titles and descriptions that are not copied suppliers' text

Supplier descriptions are often shared by every store selling the item, which is weak for search and dull for shoppers. We write from your specifications, so your pages are not identical to a dozen competitors. You can set a tone; we follow it.

Variants that match how you sell

Sizes, colours and packs need to be modelled once and correctly, within Shopify's three-option limit. We confirm your approach on a sample before building the rest.

Images and alt text

A catalog without images matched to products cannot launch. We match by SKU or filename, set the first image carefully and add alt text. If you need new or cleaner product images, see AI product photos.

The rest of your launch checklist

Products are one workstream of several. Before you open, someone also needs to cover the essentials below. We do not do these, but we plan the catalog so they work.

• Theme chosen and the product page layout checked against real catalog data
• Payment gateway and a test order
• Shipping zones and rates, with weights already on every product
• Tax settings for your market, and prices shown with or without tax as local rules require
• Legal policies: returns, shipping, privacy and terms
• Domain connected, plus order and customer email notifications reviewed
• Markets and currencies, if you sell to more than one country
• Analytics, and a product feed for Google or Meta if you plan to advertise at launch. We can help here through product feed management.

What stays outside our scope

We do not design or customise your theme, write code, set up payment gateways, configure shipping rates or draft legal policies. Those are essential to launch; they need a designer, a developer or you. We make sure the catalog is ready to slot into whatever they build.

Pricing

Starting prices for catalog listing, per project. The fixed quote follows once we have seen your files. See /pricing.

Is this a fit?

It suits founders and small teams launching with a few hundred to a few thousand products who would rather spend their time on brand, marketing and suppliers than on spreadsheets. It also suits agencies who build the theme and need the catalog handled.

If you are launching with fewer than 30 products, add them yourself; the work is small. If you need a designer, hire one first; we are the catalog step, not the design step. If you are moving from another platform, see store migration.
