01 · What you get

What a Productsup integration gives you.

Product teams know data is complete

Merchandisers and product owners see which attributes are missing, which images need alt-text and which translations are incomplete before data reaches storefronts. Completeness rules and readiness dashboards give clear visibility into what is ready to publish.

Channel teams receive governed product data

Ecommerce and marketplace teams receive product feeds that are already mapped, validated and compliant with each channel's requirements. Manual data rework and channel rejections drop significantly.

Storefronts and marketplaces stay in sync

Product attributes, descriptions, images and taxonomy are published consistently to all channels. When a product is updated in your source (PIM, ERP), the change propagates to all storefronts and marketplaces without manual intervention.

Supply chain visibility for product readiness

Product owners and merchandisers see the full flow from source data through Productsup to final publication. Validation errors, mapping gaps and channel-specific issues are surfaced as exceptions so they can be resolved quickly.

Reduced manual publishing effort

Product data flows from source to storefront and marketplace automatically. Teams no longer export, reshape and upload product feeds manually, freeing capacity for higher-value work like content enrichment and strategy.

02 · When it's worth it

Where a Productsup integration earns its place.

If two or more of these are true, the integration usually pays for itself quickly.

Publish product attributes and descriptions to Adobe Commerce, Magento, Shopify Plus, BigCommerce and other storefronts with channel-specific field mappings
Syndicate catalogue data to marketplaces (Amazon, eBay, Google Shopping, Zalando) with marketplace-required fields and compliance rules
Normalise product attributes across multiple data sources and enforce completeness rules before publication
Map supplier or ERP product codes to storefronts, manage variant hierarchies and apply channel-specific pricing or stock overrides
Govern product images, documents and downloads, apply alt-text rules and ensure assets meet channel requirements
Detect and resolve product-data gaps, missing translations or incomplete attribute sets before they reach storefronts
03 · The limits

Where off-the-shelf connectors fall short.

Vendor connectors are fine for simple cases. Here's where the real ones need more.

No native realtime stock or pricing sync

Productsup focuses on product-attribute syndication and does not manage stock availability or live pricing updates. Stock and pricing must be managed in your ERP or commerce platform and synced separately to storefronts; Productsup can apply static price overrides or channel mappings but does not replace ERP-to-commerce stock feeds.

Limited order or customer data handling

Productsup does not ingest orders, customer records or transactional data from storefronts. It publishes catalogue data outbound only; order capture, fulfillment and customer data flows must be handled by your OMS, ERP or commerce platform.

Channel connectors require ongoing maintenance

Marketplace and storefront connectors (especially Amazon, eBay, Google Shopping) depend on marketplace API stability and schema changes. When a marketplace updates its field requirements or API contract, the Productsup connector may require configuration updates or iWeb engineering support to maintain compliance.

No built-in PIM data model

Productsup is a syndication platform, not a PIM. If you do not have a PIM, you must manage product attributes and content in a spreadsheet, ERP or third-party PIM and feed them into Productsup. Productsup does not replace a structured product-data authority.

Translation and localisation require manual setup

Productsup can publish product data in multiple languages but does not translate content. You must supply translations from your PIM, translation service or content team; Productsup maps and publishes them to locale-specific storefronts or marketplace feeds.

04 · The real work

Without a syndication hub, product teams resort to manual channel-specific exports and uploads, and storefronts diverge in how they represent variants, categories and content.

05 · Where it sits

Where this integration sits in your estate.

Productsup holds the commercial record. The iWeb integration layer manages the rules, mappings, monitoring and exceptions. The commerce platform presents the customer-facing experience. The estate map helps agree ownership before anything is built.

Built for your platform, not a specific one. Productsup integrates with any ecommerce core through the same contract.

07 · Data flows

The data flows we wire.

Each flow has a direction and an owner. We agree both before a line of code is written.

→Into COMMERCE & SALES CHANNELS
←From OTHER SYSTEMS & COMMERCE
↔BOTH WAYS
Source feeds into Productsup: Product attributes, descriptions, images and metadata flow from your PIM, ERP, spreadsheets or supplier feeds into Productsup as structured or semi-structured data
Productsup accepts CSV, XML, API feeds and manual uploads, normalising them into a unified catalogue model.
Enriched and mapped product data to storefronts: Productsup publishes product attributes, descriptions, images, taxonomy and channel-specific fields to your storefronts (Adobe Commerce, Magento, Shopify Plus, BigCommerce and others) via API, feed files or direct connectors, applying completeness rules and field mappings as it goes.
Marketplace-ready catalogue feeds: Product catalogue data is transformed and published to marketplaces (Amazon, eBay, Google Shopping, Zalando, Fruugo and others) with marketplace-specific required fields, compliance rules and format constraints automatically applied.
Attribute and taxonomy governance updates: Changes to product attributes, variant rules, category taxonomy or channel-readiness rules flow out to storefronts and marketplaces
Feedback from channel publication errors or validation failures flows back into Productsup for exception handling and correction.
Feedback and validation exceptions: Publication failures, validation warnings and channel-rejection logs flow back from storefronts and marketplaces to Productsup so that product owners can see where data is incomplete or non-compliant before it reaches the storefront.
08 · How we build it

How iWeb configures the integration around your business.

Same method on every integration. The decisions come before the code.

  1. 01
    Design and configure product-data mappings

    iWeb maps your source product attributes (from PIM, ERP, supplier feeds) to Productsup and then to each storefront and marketplace. We define which attributes are mandatory, optional or channel-specific and build transformation rules so data is shaped correctly for each channel.

  2. 02
    Build completeness rules and validation

    iWeb defines what makes a product ready for publication: required images, minimum description length, language coverage, variant completeness. These rules run in Productsup before publication and flag incomplete products so teams can fix them before storefronts are affected.

  3. 03
    Configure channel connectors and field mappings

    iWeb configures Productsup connectors to your storefronts (Adobe Commerce, Magento, Shopify Plus, BigCommerce and others) and marketplaces, including field mappings, taxonomy alignment, price/stock overrides and channel-specific asset rules.

  4. 04
    Integrate with PIM, ERP and supporting systems

    iWeb builds data pipelines from your product-data sources into Productsup and ensures that updates flow correctly. We also integrate search index feeds, inventory updates and commerce-platform schema changes so the entire estate stays in sync.

  5. 05
    Set up monitoring, alerting and exception handling

    iWeb configures observability so you see publication successes, validation failures and channel rejections in real time. Exception queues are owned and SLAs are defined so product-data issues are caught and resolved quickly.

10 · Experienced integrator

Built this before

iWeb has designed and deployed Productsup integrations across multiple retail and commerce estates, managing product-data flows from PIMs and ERPs to storefronts and marketplaces. We understand how Productsup sits alongside your product-data authority, how to map heterogeneous source attributes to channel-specific schemas and how to govern publication so that incomplete or non-compliant data never reaches customers.

iWeb configures Productsup ingestion from Salsify, Syndigo, Plytix and other PIMs as well as SAP, Sage, NetSuite and other ERPs, normalising attributes and content into a unified catalogue model.
iWeb designs variant hierarchies, category mappings and channel-specific field transformations so products are correctly represented on Adobe Commerce, Magento Open Source, Shopify Plus, BigCommerce and marketplace channels.
iWeb defines completeness rules, readiness criteria and validation workflows so product owners see data gaps before publication and exceptions are owned and resolved on time.
iWeb integrates Productsup with search platforms, translation services and inventory systems so product-data updates propagate correctly across your entire estate.
iWeb provides post-launch support and monitoring so marketplace API changes, schema updates and publication failures are detected and resolved quickly.
11 · Before launch

What we test before launch.

Every one of these is rehearsed before a customer ever sees the integration.

Verify product attributes are mapped correctly from source (PIM/ERP) through Productsup to each storefront and marketplace schema.
Test completeness rules: confirm products flagged as incomplete remain unpublished and exceptions are surfaced to product owners.
Validate variant hierarchies: check that parent-child relationships, SKU mappings and colour/size combinations are correctly shaped for each channel.
Confirm images are ingested, resized and alt-text applied; verify missing images trigger validation failures before publication.
Test channel-specific overrides: publish the same product to two channels with different descriptions or category codes and verify each channel receives correct data.
Simulate source-data update in PIM/ERP and confirm the change propagates through Productsup to storefronts within scheduled SLA.
Verify exception handling and alerting: trigger a validation failure or marketplace rejection and confirm it appears in monitoring and alert channels as expected.
12 · Failure points

Common risks and where they bite.

We name these on day one. A risk written down is a risk you can plan around.

Stale or incomplete source data reaching storefronts

If your PIM, ERP or supplier feeds contain gaps, outdated attributes or missing images, Productsup will syndicate them as-is. Without upfront validation and completeness rules, incomplete product data reaches storefronts, damaging customer experience and conversion. iWeb mitigates this by defining and enforcing completeness rules in Productsup before publication.

Field mappings breaking on storefront or marketplace upgrades

When storefronts (Adobe Commerce, Magento, Shopify Plus, BigCommerce) or marketplaces (Amazon, eBay, Google Shopping) change their product schemas, API contracts or required fields, Productsup field mappings may silently fail or publish incomplete data. iWeb monitors schema changes and updates mappings before they impact publication.

Variant hierarchies misaligned across channels

If your source PIM or ERP represents variants (size, colour, SKU) differently than each marketplace expects, Productsup must flatten or reshape them correctly. When variant rules are misconfigured, storefronts may show duplicate products, missing variants or broken inventory. iWeb designs and validates variant mappings before launch.

Translation and localisation lag or gaps

If translations are incomplete or delayed in your source system, Productsup will publish incomplete product data to locale-specific storefronts and marketplaces, damaging the shopping experience in secondary regions. iWeb defines translation readiness rules and SLAs so localised catalogues stay complete.

No visibility into publication failures or channel rejections

If Productsup publishes data but a marketplace silently rejects it (e.g. missing mandatory fields, non-compliant category codes), product owners may not know until sales are lost or the channel report is reviewed days later. iWeb sets up real-time alerting and exception queues so channel rejections are visible immediately.

Ownership of data quality and completeness unclear

When product ownership is split across teams (content, merchandising, supply chain), it is unclear who is responsible for fixing incomplete attributes, missing images or translation gaps before publication. Without named owners and SLAs, incomplete data sits in queues. iWeb defines a clear ownership model and escalation path.

14 · Questions

Common questions about Productsup integrations.

Does Productsup replace our PIM?

No. Productsup is a syndication and channel-management platform, not a PIM. It ingests product data from a PIM (or ERP, spreadsheets, supplier feeds) and publishes it to storefronts and marketplaces with field mappings and validation rules applied. You need a source system (PIM, ERP or structured data store) to manage product attributes, images and content; Productsup handles distribution and channel compliance.

How does Productsup connect to our ecommerce storefronts?

Productsup offers pre-built connectors to Adobe Commerce, Magento Open Source, Shopify Plus, BigCommerce and other storefronts via API, feed files or direct integration plugins. iWeb configures the connector, maps your product attributes to storefront fields, sets up publication schedules and defines what triggers a data update. Once configured, product data flows from Productsup to your storefront automatically.

Can Productsup publish to multiple marketplaces at the same time?

Yes. Productsup has built-in connectors to Amazon, eBay, Google Shopping, Zalando, Fruugo and many other marketplaces. iWeb configures each marketplace connector, applies marketplace-specific required fields and compliance rules, and schedules feeds to publish. A single product update in your source system can flow to all channels automatically.

What happens if product data is incomplete or invalid?

Productsup runs validation rules before publication. If required attributes are missing, images are absent or descriptions are too short, Productsup flags the product as not ready and prevents publication. iWeb defines completeness rules upfront; exceptions are queued and reported to product owners so they can fix the source data.

How do we handle channel-specific product data (e.g. different descriptions for Amazon vs Shopify)?

Productsup supports channel-specific field mappings and content overrides. You can store base product data in your PIM and then define channel-specific variants (description length, image sizes, category codes, keywords) in Productsup. When publishing, Productsup applies the correct fields for each channel automatically.

Does Productsup manage stock and pricing?

No. Productsup focuses on product-attribute syndication and does not manage stock availability or live pricing. Stock and pricing are managed in your ERP or commerce platform and synced separately to storefronts and marketplaces. Productsup can apply static price overrides or channel mappings but is not the source of truth for inventory or cost.

How do we manage product variants (size, colour, SKU) across channels?

Productsup ingests variant hierarchies from your PIM or ERP and reshapes them to match each channel's variant model. Some channels (e.g. Amazon) require specific variant attributes and SKU structures; others (e.g. Shopify) handle variants differently. iWeb designs and validates variant mappings so variants are correctly represented on each channel without duplication or loss.

What if a marketplace updates its required fields or API contract?

When a marketplace (Amazon, eBay, Google Shopping) updates its schema or field requirements, Productsup connectors may need configuration updates. iWeb monitors marketplace changes and updates field mappings, validation rules and connector configurations to keep your feeds compliant. Without monitoring, silent publication failures can occur.

How do we handle product translations and localisation?

Productsup ingests translated product attributes and descriptions from your PIM or translation service and publishes them to locale-specific storefronts and marketplace feeds. iWeb configures language-specific field mappings and locale rules so each region receives the correct translated content. Translation quality and timeliness remain the responsibility of your localisation team.

Can Productsup handle product images and alt-text?

Yes. Productsup ingests product images from your DAM or PIM and publishes them to storefronts and marketplaces with iWeb-configured rules for alt-text, image sizing, format and sequence. If images are missing or alt-text is incomplete, Productsup flags them during validation so teams can fix them before publication.

How do we know if a product publication failed or was rejected by a channel?

iWeb configures monitoring and alerting in Productsup so you see publication successes, validation failures and channel rejections in real time. Exception queues surface products that failed to publish due to invalid data, non-compliant fields or marketplace API errors. Teams can then investigate and fix the root cause.

Who owns responsibility for product-data completeness and quality?

Ownership depends on the data type. Source systems (PIM, ERP) own attribute values and content. Merchandising teams own taxonomy and descriptions. Creative teams own images and alt-text. Localisation teams own translations. iWeb defines which team is responsible for each data element and sets up exception queues and SLAs so gaps are surfaced and resolved quickly.

How often does Productsup publish product updates to storefronts?

Publication frequency depends on your business needs and channel requirements. iWeb configures daily, weekly or event-triggered feeds so product updates reach storefronts and marketplaces on schedule. Real-time updates are possible for critical changes (price, stock alerts) but are more resource-intensive; batch feeds are more common for attribute and content updates.

What data sources can feed into Productsup?

Productsup accepts product data from PIMs, ERPs, spreadsheets, supplier feeds, APIs and manual uploads. iWeb configures the ingestion method (CSV, XML, API, FTP, SFTP) and data transformation rules so heterogeneous sources are normalised into a unified catalogue model before publication.
