Overview

About this plugin

CataSync for WooCommerce automatically generates complete, SEO-optimized product content from EAN/GTIN/barcode codes using AI. Connect your WooCommerce store to the CataSync platform and transform empty or incomplete product listings into rich, ready-to-sell pages — in bulk.

Perfect for dropshipping stores, wholesale catalogs, and any WooCommerce shop that imports products from supplier feeds with missing or poor-quality descriptions.

The Problem

You import hundreds or thousands of products from your supplier. They arrive with a barcode, maybe a generic title, and nothing else: no description, no images, no SEO. Writing product content manually takes forever.

The Solution

CataSync reads the EAN/GTIN barcode from each product, looks it up across multiple international product databases, and uses AI to generate professional, unique product content that is written directly into your WooCommerce fields.

What CataSync generates

  • Product title — clean, keyword-rich, ready to publish
  • Short description — concise selling point for category pages
  • Long description — detailed, SEO-optimized content (SEO Complete mode)
  • Featured image — downloaded from verified sources and saved to your Media Library
  • Product attributes — extracted from product data (weight, dimensions, materials, etc.)
  • Yoast SEO / RankMath fields — meta title, meta description, and focus keyword filled automatically
  • SEO-friendly URL slug — generated from the optimized product title

Generation Modes

  • Standard — title, short description, image
  • SEO Base — everything in Standard + meta title, meta description, URL slug
  • SEO Complete — everything in SEO Base + long description, focus keyword, product attributes

The available modes depend on your CataSync subscription plan.

Key Features

  • Bulk generation — select multiple products and generate them all with a progress bar, ETA, and pause/resume
  • Automated profiles — schedule generation hourly, daily, or weekly, or trigger it in real-time when a product is saved
  • Single product generation — generate from the WooCommerce product edit screen with one click
  • Dashboard — monitor credit usage, plan info, billing overview, and generation statistics
  • Products list — dedicated admin page with CataSync status column, search, sorting, and filter by status
  • Activity log — full history of every API call with date, product, EAN, mode, status, cost, and response time
  • Smart field control — configure each field independently: skip, fill only if empty, or always overwrite
  • Multi-source EAN lookup — searches UPCitemdb, Barcode Spider, EAN-search, Open Food Facts, Open Beauty Facts, Google Books, and more
  • Image validation — AI-powered photo validator filters out irrelevant or low-quality images
  • 8 AI writing tones — professional, friendly, technical, luxury, minimal, persuasive, informative, creative
  • Compatible with Yoast SEO and RankMath
  • Compatible with WooCommerce HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage)
  • Multisite compatible
  • Translation ready (i18n)

External Services

This plugin connects to the CataSync API (a third-party SaaS service) to generate product content from EAN/barcode codes. It is required for the plugin to function.

What data is sent and when:

  • When you click “Generate” on a product (or a profile runs automatically), the plugin sends the following to the CataSync API endpoint at https://app.catasync.com/api/v1/generate:
  • Product EAN/barcode code
  • Product name (used as fallback when EAN lookup fails)
  • Your API key (for authentication)
  • The selected generation mode (e.g. seo_base, full_product )
  • When you validate your API key from the settings, the plugin sends your API key to https://app.catasync.com/api/v1/account to retrieve your plan information.
  • No customer data, order data, or personally identifiable information is ever transmitted.

Terms and Privacy:

  • CataSync Terms of Service: https://catasync.com/termini
