Security and trust
Built for controlled Shopify catalogue operations.
PowerFeed is designed to help merchants manage supplier product data safely, with clear configuration, guardrails, run history, logs, and Shopify-first workflows.
Trust principles
Practical safeguards for supplier-driven catalogue updates.
PowerFeed sits between supplier data and Shopify. Its job is to make that flow more structured, repeatable, and explainable.
Shopify-authorised connection
PowerFeed connects through Shopify app authorisation and uses app permissions to support configured merchant workflows.
Merchant-controlled workflows
PowerFeed does not make catalogue changes outside the sources, mappings, transformations, and guardrails configured by the merchant.
Built around operational logs
Run outcomes are logged so merchants can understand what happened after supplier data was processed.
No unrelated advertising use
PowerFeed does not sell merchant data or use merchant catalogue data for unrelated advertising.
Data handled by PowerFeed
PowerFeed processes the data needed to run supplier catalogue workflows.
The exact data processed depends on how a merchant configures the app, which sources are connected, and which Shopify catalogue fields are mapped.
Shopify connection
Designed exclusively for Shopify.
Every workflow, field, and log is built around Shopify products, variants, inventory, and merchant operations. PowerFeed is not a generic feed tool repackaged for Shopify.
What permissions are for
PowerFeed uses Shopify app permissions to read and update the data required by configured product feed workflows. This may include products, variants, inventory, and related catalogue data depending on the merchant’s setup.
Configuration before action
Source behaviour, mappings, transformations, and guardrails are configured before PowerFeed runs supplier updates.
Shopify billing
App billing is handled through Shopify, so standard subscription charges are managed inside Shopify’s billing flow.
Logs and auditability
Every run should be explainable.
Supplier imports should not feel like a black box. PowerFeed records operational outcomes so merchants can review what happened after data was processed.
Run status
Understand whether a run completed, failed, produced warnings, or needs attention.
Matching outcomes
Review whether records matched existing Shopify data or were handled differently.
Field outcomes
Understand which configured fields were applied during processing.
Warnings and errors
Identify supplier records, rules, or configuration issues that need follow-up.
What PowerFeed does not do
Clear boundaries matter.
PowerFeed is designed to support merchant-controlled catalogue operations, not to take ownership of supplier data accuracy or make unexplained changes.
Uninstall and data retention
Uninstall behaviour should be predictable.
If a merchant uninstalls PowerFeed, Shopify app access is revoked according to Shopify’s app behaviour. PowerFeed may retain limited operational records where required for security, billing, compliance, support, or legitimate business purposes, subject to its Privacy Policy.
Security FAQ
Common trust questions.
This page is a plain-English overview. The Privacy Policy and Terms provide the formal legal detail.
Does PowerFeed store supplier files?
PowerFeed may process supplier files and feed data as part of configured source workflows. Where files, mappings, logs, or operational records are retained, they are used to support the merchant’s catalogue operations.
Does PowerFeed change Shopify products automatically?
PowerFeed updates Shopify only according to configured source workflows. Merchants control source setup, mappings, transformations, guardrails, and run behaviour.
Who is responsible for supplier data accuracy?
The merchant remains responsible for reviewing supplier data, configuration, mappings, transformations, guardrails, and resulting catalogue changes. PowerFeed helps reduce risk, but supplier data can still be incomplete or incorrect.
How is billing handled?
PowerFeed billing is handled through Shopify app billing. Merchants do not need to enter separate payment details directly with PowerFeed for standard app plans.
What happens if I uninstall PowerFeed?
PowerFeed follows Shopify app uninstall behaviour and retains or removes data according to its privacy and operational retention policies. The Privacy Policy provides the legal detail.
