Connect Shopify with Kontainer DAM to manage SKU-linked images and video, keep metadata consistent, and publish brand-approved media across your store, retailers, and product data workflows.
• Kontainer assets are linked to Shopify products by SKU, with support for variant-level associations where identifiers are available.
• Asset metadata in Kontainer (titles, alt text, tags, usage notes, and locale-specific values) is mapped to Shopify fields and media attributes where supported.
• Media delivery uses CDN-based URLs or file transfers depending on the workflow, with Shopify storing references or uploaded media based on the chosen mapping.
• Delta sync logic publishes only changed assets and metadata, using timestamps and entity IDs to avoid reprocessing unchanged records.
• Ownership is split: Kontainer remains the source of truth for media files and metadata, while Shopify remains the source of truth for pricing, inventory, and checkout data.
• Validation checks handle missing SKUs, unsupported formats, and oversized files; sync events are logged with status, error details, and retry handling.

We map Shopify product and variant identifiers to Kontainer Product Hub fields, then sync asset links, renditions, and metadata based on rules you control. This keeps each SKU pointed to the right images and videos without manual re-uploading.
Common fields include alt text, titles, tags, usage rights, campaign labels, and channel-specific notes. Sync runs on schedule or on change, so Shopify always receives the latest approved values.
Yes, we can push approved assets into Shopify product media, metafields, and theme-ready references for PDP and merchandising use. Approval states in Kontainer prevent drafts or expired assets from going live.
Yes, we set up store- and locale-specific rules for asset selection, renditions, and metadata, so each Shopify store view gets the right content. This is useful when the same SKU needs different imagery, labels, or compliance notes per market.
Kontainer can act as a single source for product media, while Shopify gets only what’s needed for storefront merchandising. The same SKU-linked assets and metadata can then be delivered to retailer portals, feeds, or internal product data workflows.
