Run an online store's inventory, listings and photos
An agent takes a weekly inventory spreadsheet, updates prices and stock, writes original listings, redraws photos as studio shots, and holds uncertain items for approval.
Done with a custom-built or unnamed agent
- What they did
- The agent receives the weekly inventory spreadsheet emailed to a dedicated address. It updates every price and stock count on the store, removes any product absent from the sheet, researches each new item's maker page to generate an original listing with description, search title, photo text and crossed-out original price, redraws messy photos as clean studio shots, and holds uncertain changes for human approval.
- How it went
- The owner now sends only one email per week; the agent runs the rest of the online store.
