Feature overview

Everything a vendor relationship needs

From the first vendor profile to a synced inventory count, SupplierHQ covers the full lifecycle of working with suppliers — inside the Shopify admin you already live in.

Authenticated REST API with per-shop API keys and rate limiting

Plan-gated features with clear upgrade prompts, never a dead end
