One register for
everything you sell.

Model your products once. Publish them everywhere — with a per-channel readiness score that shows exactly what each surface still needs before you ship. New attributes are data, not migrations.

No. 01 The schema

A catalog is just typed attributes, modeled well.

Products and variants attach to families of typed, localizable, channel-scopable attributes — text, measurement, money, select, richtext, media. The schema is the product.

01

Adding an attribute is data.

Define a field in the UI or over the API. No migration, no deploy, no schema-change ticket waiting on engineering.

02

Validating it is a Zod schema.

Every family compiles to a Zod validator generated from its own definition — so data is correct before it leaves your catalog.

03

Syndicating it is an event.

Each mutation emits a typed event. A connector is just something that subscribes to it. Nothing is bolted on.

No. 02 Channel readiness

Fill it in once. Every surface tells you what it still needs.

A merchandiser completes a product's attributes; a per-channel score shows exactly what each surface is missing — before you publish, not after a rejection.

2 of 4 channels ready to publish Publish ready

Per-channel, not lowest common denominator.

Amazon wants bullets and A+ content; BigCommerce wants a shipping weight; Shopify wants a GTIN. Each score is computed against that channel's own rules.

Caught before the rejection.

Readiness validates from the same Zod schemas that back your data, so a surface can never ask for something your catalog can't describe.

Publish, and connectors carry it out.

When a channel reads 100%, publishing emits the events its connector already listens for. Your catalog stays the source of truth.

No. 03 Honest comparison

Twenty years, billions raised — and most merchants still run their catalog in a spreadsheet.

The PIM category went enterprise and never came back. minipim is the one the rest of us should have had all along — open source, an afternoon to stand up, free to start.

No. 04 Connectors

Every channel is a subscriber.

Connectors subscribe to the events your mutations emit. minipim pairs natively with Throttle, our open-source commerce engine — or with any storefront via the open API and event bus. Maintenance-heavy marketplaces are managed for you in Hosted.

No. 05 Enrichment · on the roadmap

One person manages what a team used to.

AI enrichment is built in — it drafts copy, normalizes messy attributes, translates locales, and fills the exact gaps the readiness score flags. You review and accept.
