We’re thrilled to announce the release of Icecat PIM 3.5.0! This update brings exciting new features, including the initial results of our template engine integration—perfect for brands looking to deliver customized templates to retailers. Additionally, the platform now offers enhanced multi-condition functionality, enabling the platform to automatically select warehouses within multiple conditions and export products in all conditions directly to e-commerce platforms. We’ve also improved existing connectors and introduced new features to further streamline your experience. Explore the full details below!
Icecat PIM Retailer Features
New Features
- Template Engine Integration: Added support for fetching product details via the API.
We’ve embarked on an project to integrate key features from the former Syndy platform into Icecat PIM, aiming to make our PIM as powerful for brands as it already is for retailers. One of the highlights of this project is the development of a new Template Export section, seamlessly integrated with the Syndy Template Engine. This functionality will enable users to export product content through fully customizable templates—those used by retailers—directly from the PIM, eliminating the need for manual file handling. Future releases of Icecat PIM will introduce a Template Engine interface within Icecat PIM.
- Video Tutorials (Part 2): Added new video tutorials to assist users.
Over 10 new videos have been added to the Help/Video Tutorials section in your PIM. Discover valuable insights on product relations, channels, reports, and more.
Improvements
- Conditions Structure: Enhanced structure and management of condition sets.
In Icecat PIM, we manage product conditions such as Default, Refurbished, Open Box, New, etc. Previously, the warehouse selector only functioned when a product was in a single condition. Now, it can handle products available in multiple conditions seamlessly.
For example, consider product XYZ. In the “New” condition, it is available in two warehouses: A and B. The same product is also listed in the “Refurbished” condition, with stock in three warehouses: C, D, and E. The warehouse selector will automatically choose the warehouse offering the lowest price with available stock for each condition. In this case, it might select Warehouse A for the “New” condition and Warehouse C for the “Refurbished” condition.
As a result, the product will be exported to your environment, such as WooCommerce, with the selected conditions and corresponding warehouses. This improved functionality ensures more efficient condition, stock management and accurate product listings.
- Interface & Language Settings: Updated interface and content language configuration.
We’ve introduced a distinction between product content languages and PIM interface languages. Now, when adding a new language to the PIM system, you can specify:
- Use as Product Content Language: True/False (default: False)
- Use as PIM Interface Language: True/False (default: True)
This enhancement provides greater flexibility in language configuration and management.

In Amazon export settings, there was an option labeled: “send images = yes/no.” We updated this setting to include:
