// roadmap
What we are building, what we are planning, and what just shipped. The roadmap is public because the merchants using Vendably are the people who should shape it.
Able as a chat partner you can talk to. Ask Able about your account, your feed quality, or what to fix first, and get a written answer backed by your own data. Lives alongside the existing one-shot generation tools, opening up the same intelligence layer to free-form questions.
A single Channels hub that lists every platform you can connect Vendably to (Shopify, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, Slack, Notion, the full set) with a unified status, health check, and last-sync time per channel. Replaces the current split between Connections and Destinations for the day-to-day "is everything working" view.
SEO Organic. A full search-console-driven workflow that audits your storefront against current best practice, scores your product content against the queries that already drive impressions, and walks you through the changes that will move the needle. Builds on the existing GSC ingest.
Discovery recommendations on storefronts. The same engine that powers internal product search will start suggesting related and complementary products on product detail pages, with merchandiser controls for pinning and tuning.
Public Able chat agent. The same Able conversation, but on the public marketing site, so prospective merchants and customers can ask product questions and get accurate, brand-safe answers without signing in.
Product Q&A. Customers ask questions on a product page, Able drafts the answer from your feed and policies, you approve or edit it, and the question and answer publish back to the product for everyone.
Slack, Notion, and Microsoft Teams as first-class notification channels. Anything you can currently receive over email or push will be routable into your team's existing tools, with the same per-event preferences and digest options.
Agency onboarding redesign. A walkthrough that takes a new agency from sign-up to first client connected in under fifteen minutes, including the white-label, commission, and team-membership setup that most agencies need on day one.
CSS direct signup. Merchants who only want the free Comparison Shopping Service product will be able to sign up directly from the CSS landing page, without going through the full Vendably onboarding. Activates the platform in a single click for CSS-only use.
Vendably Demo Merchant. A pre-populated read-only demo account that anyone can explore without signing up, showing a real feed, real connections, real intelligence, and real Trust reviews so prospective merchants can see the platform in motion.
A canonical taxonomy that all merchant categories map to, so Vendably can normalise Google product categories, Shopify collections, Woo categories, and free-text classifications into a single internal vocabulary. Underpins better feed quality scoring, cross-merchant benchmarks, and Channel-specific category mapping.
Shopify import completeness. The Shopify source will bring in collections, inventory levels per location, pages, discounts, and metafields in addition to products, so the rest of Vendably has the full picture without a manual second connection.
// how we plan
Items appear on this roadmap once they are committed, not when they are just an idea. Merchant votes shape which committed items we tackle first. Once something ships, it moves to the changelog in plain English, with no engineering trivia and no internal references.
Read the changelogCommitted means committed If it is on this page, we have decided to build it. Exploratory ideas do not appear here until we are ready to own them.
Votes shape priority Within a committed batch, merchant votes determine the order. A feature with more votes ships sooner, all else being equal.
Shipped means on the changelog Completed items move to the changelog the day they ship. If you cannot find something here, check there first.
Send us a request and we will review it. If it is a good fit for the platform it will appear on this roadmap once we commit to building it.
