The category of product you're looking for is a Product Information Management (PIM) system in many eCommerce architectures. It's a core component of big eCommerce platforms like Salesforce and SAP, but there are also "composable commerce" vendors like Commercetools or Spryker or Fabric who are happy to sell you just that API. There are also open source alternatives, but most are geared towards mom-and-pop scale shops whose alternative would be paying for Shopify. PIM systems are most helpful when your "factual" product catalog (dimensions, weights, country of origin, etc) needs to be enriched with inputs from your marketing and merchandising teams (categories and names, but also search-optimized product description content, managing high-quality product images, etc). PIM systems do not typically handle pricing and inventory, which are usually abstracted into separate services (or in large enterprise, handled by an ERP system). One of the benefits of this approach at scale is that your marketing/sales teams view pricing as a key lever, and having static pricing in a PIM limits your ability to go act on digital marketing levers like promos or A/B testing a demand curve for prices. PIMs are also typically not setup to have strong governance around who can set/change prices -- this can lead to perverse incentives if eg salespeople have edit permission to change prices! Fabric is just one of the PIM vendors out there, but they do a really good job explaining the PIM category and I think it handles 95% of what you're looking for in your description: https://fabric.inc/blog/pim-software/ https://fabric.inc/blog/pim-software/
