Why Read This eBook?

There is a reason why Shopify is the global leader in the e-commerce platforms market. It provides a fantastic experience, with beautiful templates, ease of navigation, and a great ecosystem filled with useful apps and integrations that cover all essential needs.

So, Shopify is a fantastic platform—until it isn't.

When your catalog starts growing—adding more SKUs, variants, markets, or sales channels—you’ll quickly discover the limitations:

• Capped variant numbers
• Lack of native bulk editing tools
• No built-in workflow capabilities
• Fragmented product information across multiple teams or tools
• Lack of automations that speed up the time-consuming tasks

These challenges slow you down, introduce errors, and limit your ability to scale efficiently.

This eBook explains how introducing Ergonode’s lightweight, scalable PIMbridges those gaps and helps you regain control of your catalog.

What You'll Learn?

The e-book covers all the essential pros and cons of Shopify.

This sets the stage for understanding why PIM matters.
