The SKULaunch alternative without the setup fee
SKULaunch bills a one-time setup fee of £999 to £4,999 on top of plans from £999 a month, and its DAM is a paid add-on. Automated Commerce charges no setup fee, starts at a lower monthly price, and keeps Shopify listings right after publishing. SKULaunch remains a strong fit for teams onboarding large volumes of supplier files into marketplace schemas.

Rijk Groeneveld
Founder, Son of John
I use Automated Commerce mainly for creating and managing my product listings, and it has made the whole process a lot easier for me. What I like most is that I can edit products and images in bulk, instead of having to go through every listing one by one. This saves me a lot of time, especially when I need to update titles, descriptions, prices, or product photos across multiple items.

This app is a total game-changer! I can now generate my product images easily while working remotely. The service is excellent, and the team is incredibly helpful and responsive. Highly recommend!

We started with Automated Commerce to make managing translations and products easier but the app has so much more to offer. Dedicated agents for Marketplaces for example. The team is really helpful and responds quickly to any questions.
