What it is
Fabric Commerce Platform is paid merchandising software for brands, retailers and merchandising teams working across AI shopping channels. Its Merchandising Studio shows whether products appear in AI answers, how often they are recommended compared with competitors, and what shoppers ask across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude. Teams can enrich descriptions, attributes, brand content, FAQs and image alt text according to brand guidelines. Fabric can read supplier sites, B2B portals, specification sheets and files, then validate and build products for activation. Google Analytics connections and experiments support performance tracking. The platform lists integrations with systems including SAP, Adobe, Microsoft, NetSuite, Shopify, commercetools, Oracle, Salesforce, Akeneo, Salsify, inriver, Pimberly, Manhattan, Syndigo, Acquia and IBM. API-first delivery covers commerce systems, AI engines, social shopping and commerce pages; REST is listed. Cloud deployment, multi-store, B2B, marketplace and inventory support are listed. Fabric states encrypted data, customer isolation, granular permissions and human approval for every shipped change. Pricing is on request.
