Publish your catalog once. Every buyer stays current.
Make it easier for every customer to buy from you. Publish your product data and images once, and every approved retailer, distributor and marketplace draws from it and stays current automatically. Your Shopify store, Amazon Marketplace listings and Walmart Marketplace listings stay current too, through native integrations with no integration fees. Get discovered by new retailers, skip the per-channel reformatting and get started with or without a GTIN.
Best for companies tired of maintaining the same catalog separately for each buyer
If you keep product data current by emailing spreadsheets, re-keying into each customer's portal or paying for an expensive legacy catalog that still makes you reformat per buyer, BOLD Catalog Network replaces that work with one published catalog every approved buyer subscribes to. You don't need EDI to use it, and if you have EDI, it runs right alongside it. (On the buyer side? See BOLD Catalog Network for Retailers.)
One catalog, every channel, always current
Publish once, stay current
Publish your product data a single time. Every approved retailer, distributor and marketplace, plus your own Shopify store, Amazon Marketplace listings and Walmart Marketplace listings, stays current automatically.
Shopify, Amazon Marketplace and Walmart Marketplace, built in
Native integrations connect your catalog to your own Shopify store, Amazon Marketplace listings and Walmart Marketplace listings, with no integration fees. Each is simply a connection, like any trading partner, and stays current every time you publish.
Get discovered
Your items appear in the Discovery section for retailers and distributors that don't carry them yet, like a buyers' show they visit from their office. When they find you, they request access.
You stay in control
You approve every buyer, decide what each one sees and can revoke access anytime.
One product, many IDs
Keep a GTIN for EDI, an ASIN for Amazon Marketplace, your own SKU for your ERP and a retailer's assigned ID, all on the same product.
Any format in, every buyer's format out
Start with whatever you have: spreadsheets, ERP or PIM exports, XML, JSON, CSV or an EDI 832 price/sales catalog. We map it in, and each buyer receives it in the format its systems need. There's no limit on the number of products, and storage covers thousands of products with full image sets, with more available whenever you need it.
Any identifier, with or without a GTIN
Products can live in the network with a GTIN, UPC, EAN, ISBN, ASIN, your internal SKU, a retailer-assigned ID or none at all. Concept and pre-production products exist as drafts; the record does not wait for a barcode.
Subscribe and publish from one account
The same company can subscribe to upstream catalogs and publish its own curated catalog downstream, so distributors and retailers run both directions without separate integrations.
We help your buyers get connected, at no cost to you
Tell us who else you sell to, and choose which ones we contact. Our team reaches out to each retailer, distributor and marketplace, explains how it works and helps them subscribe to your catalog. We don't charge you for any of that time.
It's an easy yes for your buyers. Retailers and distributors pay no monthly fees, no matter how many catalogs they subscribe to, and no setup fees when they sign up in 2026. They get your current data and images, mapped into their systems, so your catalog only has to be right in one place.
No fees until your first connection
Build your catalog, add products and images and take your time: there's nothing to pay until your first connection, whether that's a retailer, distributor or marketplace subscribing or your own Shopify, Amazon Marketplace or Walmart Marketplace listings. Sign up by Dec. 31, 2026, and there are no setup fees either.
Billing starts with your first connection; a monthly fee for each connection then applies, including for Shopify, Amazon Marketplace and Walmart Marketplace connections, with no charges for changes, imports or downloads. There are no integration fees for Shopify, Amazon Marketplace or Walmart Marketplace. No setup fees for vendors who sign up by Dec. 31, 2026.
How it works
Publish your catalog
Load your product data into the network once, using whatever identifiers you already have.
We help your buyers get connected
Tell us who you sell to. We reach out to each buyer and help them subscribe, at no cost to you. No new integration for you each time a buyer joins.
Everyone stays current
When you update a product, every subscriber receives the change automatically. No spreadsheets, no re-keying, no chasing.
The Retail Value Chain Federation (RVCF) puts the staff time to correct each one at about $131 in that illustrative cost example. Publishing your catalog once to a shared network, instead of maintaining it separately for each buyer, helps keep that product data accurate at the source. Source: RVCF estimate; actual costs vary.

Frequently asked questions
What is a product catalog network?
It is a shared place your product data lives between you and the companies you trade with. You publish your catalog once; approved retailers, distributors and marketplaces subscribe to it and stay current automatically, instead of you sending a separate feed or spreadsheet to each one.
Do you integrate with Shopify, Amazon Marketplace and Walmart Marketplace?
Yes. Native integrations send your catalog to your own Shopify store, your Amazon Marketplace listings and your Walmart Marketplace listings, and they stay current every time you publish, with no integration fees.
Do my buyers need to be on the network already?
No. Tell us who you sell to, and we reach out to each retailer, distributor and marketplace and help them subscribe to your catalog, at no cost to you.
A retailer asked me to join. What happens next?
We make it easy. Our team walks you through setup, maps your product data in from whatever format you have and connects you to that retailer. Once you are on the network, tell us who else you sell to, and we reach out to those retailers, distributors and marketplaces for you at no cost, so they can subscribe to the same catalog.
Do I need a GTIN to list a product?
No. Products can live in the network with a GTIN, UPC, EAN, ISBN, ASIN, your internal SKU, a retailer-assigned ID or no identifier at all. Concept and pre-production products exist as drafts, and an ID is attached when one is assigned.
Do I or my buyers need EDI?
No. Neither you nor your buyers need EDI to use BOLD Catalog Network. Catalog data moves through the network by API, JSON, XML, CSV or spreadsheet, and partners that prefer EDI can still receive it as an EDI 832 or an EDIFACT PRICAT.
Does this replace my EDI or my VAN?
No. If you use EDI, the catalog network keeps your product data current while your EDI and VAN move the transactions: purchase orders, ASNs and invoices. They are complementary layers. BOLD Catalog Network runs alongside your existing EDI through REST, JSON, XML, CSV and EDI paths.
Can one company both subscribe and publish?
Yes. A distributor can subscribe to manufacturer catalogs, add its own product content, then publish a curated catalog for retailers to subscribe to.
What format does my product data need to be in?
Whatever you have today: spreadsheets, ERP or PIM exports, XML, JSON, CSV or an EDI 832 price/sales catalog. We map it in, along with your product images, and each buyer receives your catalog in the format its systems need.
Who can see my catalog?
Only the buyers you approve. You approve every buyer before they get access, and you can revoke access anytime.
Is there a limit on how many products I can add?
No. There's no limit on the number of products. Storage covers thousands of products with full image sets, and more is available whenever you need it.
What is the current offer?
There's nothing to pay until your first connection: a retailer, distributor or marketplace subscribing, or your own Shopify, Amazon Marketplace or Walmart Marketplace listings. Sign up by Dec. 31, 2026, and there are no setup fees. There are no integration fees for Shopify, Amazon Marketplace or Walmart Marketplace. Talk to us about your catalog and channels.
Do you charge to change, import or download my data?
No. Changing a UPC, updating product data, importing your catalog and downloading your data are all included. After your first connection, you pay a monthly fee for each connection, with no per-change charges.
Who runs the network?
BOLD Catalog Network is powered by Global Product Access, the product content network from Loren Data, built for brands, retailers and marketplaces. BOLD VAN sets up your account, helps your buyers get connected, connects your channels and supports you from start to finish.
