“Ice” comes from Icecat, a product content catalog. “Connect” stands for the functionality. Together, it means a service for creating an import file of products, their stocks, and prices sourced from multiple suppliers standardized by some Icecat data, such as brand, category, and title.
Icecat Connect picks up the supplier files from their locations, unifies all the files into one, standardizes them using some Icecat data, and delivers them to your ecommerce platform, such as Magento, Shopify, Woocommerce, Shopware, etc., or to Icecat PIM, a product information management system.
Although Icecat Connect unifies all the suppliers’ files into one, its functionalities of working with duplicates, standardizing data by Icecat, integration into the webshops provide more functionalities beyond that.
