What Merchkit is
Merchkit is a web-based product catalog accelerator for ecommerce teams managing catalogs from about 500 to several hundred thousand SKUs. It imports supplier data from Excel, CSV, PDFs, images, and API feeds, then uses AI to extract attributes, standardize records, and enrich configured fields. Its workflow moves through import, enrichment, channel-specific content generation, validation, and export. Merchkit creates marketplace titles, descriptions, bullet points, and A+ content, with output tailored for marketplaces and AI shopping assistants including ChatGPT, Gemini, Amazon Rufus, Walmart Sparky, and Perplexity. It supports digital asset management, multilingual localization, data-quality rules, workflow approvals, and integrations such as Shopify, BigCommerce, commercetools, Akeneo, Salsify, Walmart, Wayfair, and Amazon. Connected platforms can expose product information, variants, SKUs, custom fields or metafields, and pricing. The Core plan costs $999 a month, includes Shopify, one channel output, one seat, and up to 1,000 updated SKUs monthly.
