Increase Conversion and Upgrade to Full Icecat

We advise users to start their implementation with free Open Icecat. After that, if the technical interfaces are satisfactory and the business requires it, we recommend upgrading to Full Icecat to access Icecat’s complete database with multimedia product data.

What are the Main Advantages of Full Icecat?

The free Open Icecat model should be enough to see the results of having high-quality product pages. However, the model probably won’t cover your entire portfolio. In addition, we present the main advantages of Full Icecat.

• Having access to the complete database of our catalog of up to 40k brands. It is not just the Open Icecat brands that sponsor their product content. In case you do not see the brand logo on the Icecat catalog website, the product content is only available through Full Icecat.
• Icecat can cover your complete catalog with Full Icecat, with its millions of product data sheets available in 60+ languages.
• Coverage guarantees for the stock products of mainstream distributors and categories.
• Access to catalogs spanning all major verticals: Computing & Electronics, Telecom, Office supplies, Do It Yourself, Toys, Fast Moving Consumer Goods, Fashion, Health & Beauty, and many others.
• Additional service levels can be agreed upon for editor support. As well as additional categories and data model standardization to cover the gaps in your portfolio.
• Your company’s own brands can be fully supported. Research shows that content marketing factors determine your brand’s online success.
• Free Brand Cloud: your own supplier portal or PIM included at no additional cost in your subscription.
• Brand Authorization management will help you become an authorized reseller of your supplier brands. Furthermore, to help mitigate legal risks regarding image rights for non-sponsoring brands.

Is the Technical Interface the same?

Yes. The data model and interfaces of Open Icecat and Full Icecat are fully compatible. Therefore, switching from Open Icecat to Full Icecat is easy and requires almost no development. In addition, changing access URLs and adding authentication to access the Full Icecat database are the main differences.
