Explanation

How Photopilot works with CCV Shop

CCV Shop is a widely used Dutch webshop platform, often run by a small team handling everything at once. Photopilot reads the products from CCV Shop, links supplier images and product information to them, and creates complete photos and copy for each item. Completed content is sent back to your CCV Shop as an import file and image folder.

What Photopilot retrieves from CCV Shop

With an API token, Photopilot reads the products from your CCV Shop, including name, SKU, EAN, item number, and the product properties you use. Existing product photos are imported too, so you can immediately see where images are missing or need improvement. Properties such as brand, color, material, or care label are recognized and placed in the correct field. After the first run, Photopilot only requests products that have changed.

Match supplier data by item number and EAN

Many CCV Shop stores use separate Excel lists and supplier image folders alongside the webshop. Photopilot compares those files with your catalog and matches them by EAN, SKU, or item number, with the color code added where needed. This puts hundreds of supplier photos with the right product without anyone having to drag them over one by one. Anything that cannot be matched clearly appears in a short review list.

What Photopilot does with the images and text

Images are cut out, placed on a solid background, and cropped to the aspect ratio your theme uses. No good image available? Photopilot creates packshots, ghost mannequin images, or AI model photos, and campaign images for seasonal promotions. For each product, Photopilot writes a sales-focused description and SEO copy, using material information and care symbols recognized from label photos. Everything is ready for approval before it goes into the shop.

How images and text get into CCV Shop

Approved photos go per item number, in a fixed order, to an FTP or SFTP folder or can be retrieved via the API. Copy, SEO fields, and properties are in the Webshop Excel, structured to fit the product import in the CCV Shop admin environment. The first image becomes the main photo, and the rest fill the product gallery in the correct order. You stay in control of when a new collection goes online.

What the team sees every day

By default, Photopilot reads products changed in CCV Shop every two hours, so new items appear in the overview automatically. On the dashboard, you can see which products still need a photo, text, or approval. Standard edits run on autopilot, so the team only has to review and approve. For a small team, that can quickly save hours every week.

Get started without technical knowledge

You create an API token in CCV Shop with read access to products and share it along with the store's API address. We set up the integration, import the catalog, and agree on which properties and which export route you use. After that, supplier files and your own photos come together in one place. Nothing needs to be installed in the shop.
