About this plugin
Stop chasing inventory updates and emailing messy spreadsheets.
As a supplier, keeping your merchants updated with accurate stock levels and pricing shouldn’t be a full-time job. Manual CSV files lead to delayed updates, frustrated merchants, and costly overselling mistakes.
Importify B2B Supplier Sync bridges the gap between you and your retail network. It transforms your WooCommerce store into an automated distribution hub, allowing you to seamlessly sync and export unlimited products directly to Shopify and WooCommerce merchants. Alternatively, publish them straight to the Importify marketplace to reach more merchants and maximize your customer base.
The Pain Points We Solve:
- The Spreadsheet Nightmare: No more exporting, formatting, and emailing daily stock lists. Everything handles itself automatically.
- Out-of-Stock Disputes: Prevent merchants from selling items you no longer have. Real-time API syncing ensures your latest inventory and pricing data are always accurate.
- Limited Merchant Reach: Easily break into new B2B channels and reach untapped retail audiences by publishing directly to the Importify marketplace.
Features for Scale:
- Full Automation: Seamless integration via JSON API handles the heavy lifting in real time—no CSVs required.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Export your WooCommerce products directly to merchants operating on Shopify or WooCommerce.
- Zero Limits: Enjoy unlimited product exports, unlimited syncs, and connect with unlimited merchants on a single plan built for growth.
- B2B Direct Distribution: Put your product catalog directly into your merchants’ dashboards for frictionless selling.
- Marketplace Publishing: Showcase your products on the Importify marketplace to attract new retail partners.
- Automated Pricing & Stock Sync: Updates to your backend flow instantly to your interconnected merchants.
- Priority Support: Dedicated customer service to ensure your automated distribution pipeline never stops.
