## Frequently asked questions

### Can Shopify handle a catalog with millions of SKUs?

Yes, with the right architecture. Commerce Build builds the catalog structure, data models, search, and sync for depth from day one, so a catalog of hundreds of thousands or millions of SKUs stays fast, accurate, and findable.

### Do we need a PIM to sell a large catalog online?

At serious catalog scale, yes: supplier data arrives in too many formats to manage by hand. Uncap implements and integrates product information management with Shopify as part of the build, so item data has one source of truth and publishes clean everywhere.

### Will tier and contract pricing show correctly for each account?

Yes. Shopify B2B price lists handle tiers, volume breaks, and contract pricing per account, and Uncap Connect keeps those prices synced from the ERP, so the storefront and the invoice always agree.

### Can buyers place bulk orders quickly?

Yes. We build quick order pads for part-number entry, file upload for bulk orders, and order guides with saved lists, so a fifty-line order takes minutes. Volume price breaks show as quantities change.

### How does reordering work for repeat buyers?

Uncap Portal gives each account order history, saved order guides, and one-click reorder with live pricing and availability. Last month's order becomes this month's order in seconds.

### How does multi-warehouse inventory stay accurate online?

Uncap Connect syncs location-level inventory from the ERP in real time, so buyers order against what is actually on the shelf, not a nightly snapshot.

### Will online orders reach our ERP without re-keying?

Yes. Uncap Connect syncs orders from Shopify into the ERP in real time and pushes fulfillment status back to the storefront. Nothing gets re-keyed, and nothing drifts.

### Can we serve house accounts and walk-in buyers from one platform?

Yes. Shopify runs B2B and B2C on one backend: accounts keep contract pricing and terms through their portal, cash buyers get the open storefront, and one catalog and inventory truth sits behind both.

### Will our catalog work with AI shopping agents?

If it is structured well on Shopify, yes. AI buying agents need machine-readable part numbers, specs, pricing, and availability, which is exactly what the PIM and attribute work in an Uncap build produces. One catalog serves human buyers and AI agents alike.

### Where should a distributor start?

Planning a move, start with Uncap Blueprint. Ready to build, start with Commerce Build. Already live, start with Managed Growth. If you are not sure which you are, that is what Talk to Our Experts is for.
