Built for Shopify Apps & E-commerce Platforms

Three core capabilities β€” bulk product images, recurring product videos, and unified API integration β€” for developers building on Shopify and e-commerce platforms.

Shopify Video Apps

Build product video apps that turn hero images into PDP clips. Submit async Kling V3 jobs and deliver results via webhook. Sell 15-45 video/month plans with 80%+ margins.

Bulk Product Photography

Generate consistent product images across entire catalogs with Seedream V1.5. White backgrounds, lifestyle scenes, and seasonal variants β€” all from one API call per SKU.

E-commerce Platform Integrations

Embed AI image and video generation into WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or custom platforms. OpenAI SDK compatibility means minimal integration effort.

Programmatic Ad Creative

Generate bulk ad variations from product catalogs. Combine Seedream for stills with Kling V3 for motion creatives β€” all from one API.

Multi-Model Routing

Access Seedream V1.5, Kling V3, GPT-Image-1, Seedance, and more through a single endpoint. Automatic failover keeps your Shopify app running.

White-Label E-commerce Tools

Power your own branded product photography or video tool. Per-tenant API keys, usage tracking, and volume pricing for margin.

Platform Features

Everything developers need to integrate AI image and video generation into Shopify apps and e-commerce platforms.

Bulk Product Image Generation

Generate up to 4 image variations per API call with Seedream V1.5. Process entire Shopify catalogs in parallel with bounded concurrency.

Recurring Product Video

Turn product photos into 5-second hero videos with Kling V3. Async renders with webhook delivery β€” build weekly video generation into your Shopify app.

Unified API Platform

One API key, one endpoint, one billing account for 10+ image and video models. OpenAI SDK compatible β€” drop into any Shopify app or e-commerce backend.

Webhook Delivery

Async video renders deliver signed POST callbacks to your webhook. HMAC verification, automatic retries, idempotent delivery. No polling required.

OpenAI SDK Compatible

Use the official OpenAI Python or Node.js SDK. Change base_url and api_key β€” your existing code works unchanged. LiteLLM auto-config supported.

Reference Fidelity

Pass an image_url to keep product identity anchored across scenes. Generate lifestyle variants, seasonal campaigns, and marketplace-compliant backgrounds.

Marketplace-Ready Output

Transparent PNG backgrounds, pure white studio sweeps, and background removal via API. Amazon, Shopify, and eBay compliant out of the box.

White-Label Ready

Per-client API keys with independent spend caps. Zero "powered by" branding on outputs. Build your own Shopify app brand on top.

No Subscription Lock-in

Pay-per-use pricing from $0.21/image and $0.36/video. No monthly minimums, no seat fees. Scale up or down instantly.

How It Works: The E-commerce Pipeline

One API powers the full product visual content pipeline β€” from raw photos to marketplace-ready images and videos.

1

Bulk product images

Send product photos or prompts to /v1/images/generations with Seedream V1.5. Generate 1-4 lifestyle variants per SKU in parallel.

2

Product video from best image

Pick the best image and POST to /v1/video/generations with Kling V3. Async render with webhook delivery β€” your app gets notified when the video is ready.

3

Deliver to storefront

Webhook fires with the video URL. Push images and videos to Shopify via Admin API, embed on PDPs, or export for social media ads.

Integration Examples

Bulk product images with Seedream V1.5, recurring product videos with Kling V3, and webhook handlers for Shopify apps. All using the OpenAI SDK or standard REST calls.

Integration Note

The β€œFull Pipeline” tab shows the complete Shopify workflow: generate lifestyle image variants from product photos (Seedream V1.5), then submit the best image as an async product video (Kling V3) β€” all from one API. The β€œWebhook Handler” tab shows how to receive and verify video delivery in a Next.js API route, the standard backend for Shopify apps.

Unit Economics

Shopify Video App Economics

Many Shopify product-video apps sell 15-45 video/month plans starting around $40/mo. Here’s the margin math when CreativeAI powers the generation layer.

The math: Each 5-second product video = 5 credits (Kling V3). At $0.071-$0.10/credit, that’s $0.36-$0.50 per video. A 15-video starter plan costs you ~$5.40-$7.50/mo in API spend. Sell it at $40/mo and you keep $32-$35 pure margin β€” no GPU hosting, no model maintenance, no infrastructure.
