E-Commerce Product Web Scraping, SKU Generation, and Store Upload
Pain Points (Public)
E-commerce merchants sourcing inventory from distributor websites often face catalog ingestion bottlenecks because vendors keep product specifications, tiered pricing, and imagery locked behind paginated or login-restricted web catalogs without providing structured data feeds or APIs, making manual copying into spreadsheets slow and error-prone.
Suggested Approach (Public)
Build an automated catalog scraping and transformation pipeline using Python with Playwright or BeautifulSoup to handle session authentication and pagination, extracting all nested product attributes and normalizing them into structured Excel or CSV catalogues with automatically generated SKUs ready for bulk store import.
