AI Products, Branding and Product Catalogue

These APIs are fully decoupled, making it easy to plug in AI features like image or description generation, or to extend existing product systems without replacing them.

Product Catalogue API

The Carbon Product Catalogue is now live and open via API.

This will play a key role in the upcoming Promotions release, powering personalized offers and smart product suggestions that increase basket size and conversion right at checkout. And it works with your system, not instead of.

Partners can offer merchants a full product management system directly inside their own platform.

Create a catalogue, add products, manage variants, and link related items like accessories or bundles.
