How to Connect Your Shopify Store to Global Luxury Retailers

If your catalog already lives in Shopify, you are closer to global distribution than you think. The products, images, variants and stock levels are all there. The question is how to get them in front of buyers on major online retailers without rebuilding your catalog for each one.

The problem with connecting retailers one by one

Every large online retailer has its own product feed format, image rules, size mapping and order process. Connecting your Shopify store to each of them separately means custom apps, spreadsheets and a lot of manual work every time something changes.

The faster route: one connection, many channels

A distribution platform connects to your Shopify store once and handles the rest. Here is how it works with Stork's Shopify integration:

Connect with read-only access. Stork reads your products, variants, images and stock. It never changes your products.
Catalog mapping and enrichment. Titles, attributes and sizes are normalised into the format each retailer needs.
Demand matching. Each SKU is listed with the online retailers where it is most likely to sell, across 10+ markets.
Orders back into Shopify. When a customer buys, the order arrives in your Shopify, tagged so your team can find it, with a prepaid label.
Tracking flows back automatically once you fulfil.

Keep stock and price in sync

Because the connection reads Shopify continuously, stock changes flow through and items that sell out in your own store stop selling elsewhere. That prevents oversells, the number one thing retailers judge suppliers on.
