From 22 brand stores to one Shopify catalog

01

The challenge

American Closet is a Shopify store, americancloset.shop, where shoppers in Lebanon order from American brands. It carries 22 brands, from Nike and Michael Kors to Calvin Klein and Tory Burch, and sources each one from its US store. Every brand lists its products on its own site, where prices and stock keep changing. Copying those products into Shopify by hand, and checking them again as they change, does not keep up.

• Products from 22 brands, each listed on its own US store
• Prices and stock that keep changing at the source
• Every product to set up in Shopify by hand, with its name, description, price, and image

What we built

In 2026 we built the product sync tool: a private dashboard where American Closet's team sets up each brand with the pages to sync, whole categories or single products. Before the team starts a run, it sees a cost estimate, and every run stops at a spending cap. Runs start by hand or on a schedule in any time zone, for one brand or all of them. Each run brings in every product it finds, recognizes the ones it has seen before, and records each price change, so every product keeps its price history.

The team picks the products to send to Shopify, or lets each run send its new products automatically. The tool creates each product with its name, description, brand, price, and main image, plus its SKU and product type when the brand's site gives them. Products arrive as drafts by default, so nothing reaches the storefront before someone reviews it. Prices take a markup, and currency rates convert any price that is not in the store's currency. A product sent again updates its Shopify listing instead of creating a copy, and unchanged products are skipped.

For the products the team chooses, the Update zone keeps price and stock current. It re-checks each one on a schedule, straight from the brand's store where it can, with the stock of every size when the store publishes it, and through a fresh sync where it cannot. A product missing twice in a row is marked Not found. The zone flags every product whose price or availability changed since it was last sent, and the team pushes the changes to Shopify in one step: prices update, and sold-out and missing products go back to draft. We also handled the store's basic setup on Shopify.
