Tool-stack pairings

DECADE.promo and Shopify

Most promo distributors do not need Shopify. DECADE.promo includes a customer-facing storefront with pricing, quotes, and ordering. Shopify becomes relevant when the use case is direct-to-consumer retail, brand pop-ups, or specific Shopify-only payment integrations.

Built on a real shop floor
I run a promo shop. Every tool here exists because I needed it on a Tuesday.
Free, no asterisk
Sign up and the rate limit goes away. That’s the whole pitch.

When DECADE.promo's storefront is enough

B2B-to-business buying flows: a customer logs in to your branded portal, browses the products you have curated for them, requests a quote, approves it, gets an invoice. DECADE.promo handles all of this without Shopify. The storefront ships with categories, themes, search, a quote-request flow, and customer-portal integration.

When Shopify makes sense

A consumer-facing brand. A pop-up retail site for a one-off campaign. A use case that depends on Shopify-only apps (subscription management, point-of-sale integrations with Square or Stripe Terminal). A team that already has deep Shopify expertise and does not want to learn a new tool.

Running both

You can. The integration is loose: Shopify handles consumer orders, DECADE.promo handles B2B operations. Inventory of branded blanks lives in DECADE.promo. Shopify SKUs reference back to DECADE.promo product IDs via metadata so a Shopify order can become a DECADE.promo order via Zapier or webhook.

Shopify is the right answer for consumer-facing storefronts. DECADE.promo is the right answer for B2B operations. You probably do not need both unless you are doing both kinds of business.

What we built differently in DECADE.promo

Unlimited AI on the GOAT plan

AI mockups, Product Capture (browser-extension AI scraping of supplier sites), AI vectorization, and AI image upscale - all unlimited on one flat-price tier. No credit metering, no per-feature add-ons.

AI Product Capture extension

Browse any supplier website - SAGE, Hit Promo, Koozie Group, anywhere - click the browser extension, and our AI reads the page. SKUs, pricing tiers, setup fees, colors, lead times, and images are extracted in seconds and import directly to your products catalog.

Tightly integrated with SAGE

Bring your own SAGE Connect subscription. Search, adopt products, and pull pricing tiers without leaving DECADE.promo. Sales decks, quotes, and POs reuse the SAGE data automatically.

Transparent pricing

Free tier for solo distributors, flat per-distributor pricing for teams, and no per-seat tax. Customers always free. Suppliers always free.

One platform. Two free accounts. One public layer for everyone else.
