Apimio
What Apimio is
Apimio is a Shopify-native catalog operations platform for brands and retailers running one or more Shopify stores. It manages product information, real-time multi-store synchronization, supplier imports, quality publishing controls, B2B dealer portals and promotion automation. Shopify remains the storefront, checkout and order or inventory record, while Apimio handles catalog data rather than order management, CRM, POS or theme editing. Shopify is the only channel with live two-way synchronization. Quality Guard scores products from 0 to 100 against 74 rules in four pillars and can block listings below a publishing threshold. Supplier Bridge maps supplier CSV files and supports file URLs, FTP, S3 and Google Sheets. Scheduled feeds cover Google Shopping, Meta, Pinterest, TikTok, Bing and price-comparison formats; Amazon and Walmart use TSV imports. Plans bill monthly: Basic PIM costs $199 a month, Advanced PIM $399 a month and Enterprise PIM starts at $999 a month. A 14-day trial uses Advanced features.
