Shotfarm Review

From Free to Affordable

Shotfarm’s network is free for verifiable manufacturers and retailers. Only Walmart and CVS suppliers have to pay a fee but even that monthly subscription is affordable. Both free and fee memberships have a wide array of services available to them, from media upload to partner content download.

Asset Sharing

With Shotfarm, vendors and retailers gain access to their trade partners’ products’ information as well as to relevant media. As long as they are certified partners, companies can download photos and videos in different file formats and in high-resolution, too.

And while all members can retrieve visual data, they can upload these as well. Shotfarm supports visual media of all types and sizes, though storage is limited yet upgradeable.  

Broad Brand Network

Shotfarm has a network of more than a million brands. This means that retailers and distributors, especially, can gain access to information of products they sell directly from the manufacturers. This way, they can offer accurate and up-to-date information to customers of the goods they sell.

Single Platform

Manufacturers and distributors can perform a wide variety of tasks from a single platform alone. Shotfarm requires no integration and even if there is a function not available for free, companies can add those to their account by purchasing plug-ins from the Plugin Store. This way, brands save time and money from integrating and acquiring other solutions.

Plugin Store

The essential features of Shotfarm are provided for free to all users. However, should they need additional functionality, they can do so by purchasing additional plug-ins from the Plugin Store. These add-ons are low-cost and are able to automate a variety of tasks especially for use in e-commerce and print.

DAM Extension

Shotfarm may only be a repository for product asset sharing, but it can be extended to serve as a DAM solution. This way, companies can manage and share their assets from one platform and save them the trouble of acquiring additional programs to perform similar functions.

Database Security

Upon registration, Shotfarm manually verifies the identification of a company. This way, only legitimate businesses can access the Product Content Network to avoid illicit use of assets. In addition, the application has a permission structure brands can utilize to limit access to their product information and visual media.

Field Search

Searching for product data and asset is simple with Shotfarm. Retailers and distributors can use brand name, product name or number, UPC, or manufacturer part number when searching for information they need. Results are filtered according to the set parameters so they immediately see relevant content.
