The problem it solves

You manage your product catalog in a spreadsheet, but updating your online store to match means re-entering the same details by hand. Stock levels and pricing can drift out of sync between the two, risking selling items you don't have.

Who it fits

E-commerce sellers who manage their product catalog primarily in Airtable.

How it works

  1. You mark a product record as ready to sync in Airtable.
  2. The system finds matching products in Shopify using the product's unique slug.
  3. It creates new products or updates existing ones with the latest title, price, and description.
  4. Inventory tracking is turned on and the stock quantity is set to match your Airtable record.
What you get

Product listings that match Shopify automatically

Your Shopify catalog and stock levels stay matched to your Airtable records without manual updates.

What you get

An up-to-date Shopify store with products and stock levels that match your Airtable catalog.

What you need

An Airtable account and a Shopify store with API access.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
