Don’t just describe
Don’t just describe
the shot. Build it.
Start with a product photo from Shopify, your library or a new upload. Choose the kind of image you want to create, then shape its style, model, pose, scene and creative direction.
From a clean listing photo to an on-model story, the choices are visual and the source stays close at hand.

YOUR GARMENT. YOUR CASTING. YOUR DIRECTION.
Style a single piece.
Style a single piece.
Or the whole outfit.
Choose an adult model reference and pose. With Dress the model, select One piece for a single garment or Two pieces to supply separate Top and Bottom images.
- Bring your own model or scene reference when needed.
- Save palettes and direction in a Brand Kit.
- Check the image count and credit cost before generating.
- 01 / SOURCE
Use your own product.
Import an individual catalog photo, choose a library image or upload a reference.
- 02 / CREATE
Set the creative direction.
Choose a style, model or scene. Build a shot list when you need a coordinated set.
- 03 / REUSE
Give it a place in Shopify.
Save to assets for collections and lookbooks, or choose a product and add the image to its gallery.
Explore the image library
AI results can differ from the reference. Check product details before use. Creating an image does not publish it to your store. Credits shown in screenshots are demo balances, not a plan allowance.
02 / COLLECTIONS & SORTING
The order is a decision.
The order is a decision.
See it take shape.
Work by hand or build an automatic strategy around what should lead, what follows your starting order, and what belongs at the end. Compare Before and After in the actual collection layout.
- Mix products with image, video, text and shoppable cards.
- Use Show first and Show last rules with a live order preview.
- Pin a product deliberately; moving it does not silently pin it.
- Apply to a draft, then save or publish when you are ready.
Keep the whole edit in view.
Search a compact list or gallery. See Live, Draft and Scheduled collections with product counts and last-updated dates.
Publish with intention.
Schedule an individual collection or review a selection to publish or unpublish together. Creating a draft is not a storefront change.
Check its performance.
Open a collection’s performance drawer without losing the index. Available measurements stay distinct from missing data.
See collection management
LOOKBOOKS / ANOTHER WAY TO TELL THE STORY
Your collection.
Your collection.
In a buyer’s hands.
Send another business a finished, branded lookbook—not a folder of attachments. Bring the story, product imagery and wholesale details together in a password-protected buyer edition.

03 / PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS
A considered next step.
A considered next step.
Not a mystery box.
Choose the products you want shoppers to discover. Combine best sellers, new arrivals, similar products or bought-together rules, then refine the selection with pins, filters and exclusions.
- Choose product-page, collection-page or any-page context.
- Preview the selection while editing the heading, count and grid or slider.
- Place MerchCanvas picks in your theme and connect the recommendation ID.
Rules use available catalog and store data. Activating a recommendation does not automatically add it to your theme.

04 / PRODUCT ANALYTICS & REPORTINGSee what moves.
See what moves.
Know what to revisit.
Explore merchandise sales, retained units and current inventory, then take the right detail into your next merchandising conversation.
Understand the assortment.
Filter by collection, category or tag. Review product trends alongside current stock and open an individual product for more detail.
Build the report you need.
Choose dates and comparisons, group sales by day, week or month, then export the selected table as CSV or a complete Excel workbook.
Your dates and filters.
Keep the assortment consistent across summaries, charts, tables and downloads.
A proper Excel workbook.
Summary, Products, Sales trend, Measured collections and Definitions, with numeric values ready to work with.
Coverage, not guesswork.
Missing history stays unavailable. The current sales snapshot covers 60 days; full-year reporting requires additional historical data.
MADE TO FIT YOUR WORKDAY
From first idea to storefront.
Start inside Shopify.
Use the catalog and media you already have. Check your data connection and the permissions needed for your workflow.
Make the creative decisions.
Create imagery, compose a collection or build a recommendation. Use the previews to understand what you are changing.
Connect the storefront.
Enable the collection layout embed or connect a recommendation block in your theme. Save and check the result.
Who is MerchCanvas for?
MerchCanvas is built for Shopify merchants who want more control over how their products are presented. It brings visual collections, lookbooks, AI imagery, recommendations and reporting into one merchandising workspace.
How can I get access?
MerchCanvas is currently being tested with development stores. Contact us with your Shopify store and what you would like to create, and we will discuss availability and setup. Requesting access does not start a paid subscription.
What does MerchCanvas cost?
Paid plans and public pricing have not been finalized. Contact us to discuss access. Any commercial terms will be agreed before you are charged; this website does not start a trial or subscribe you to a plan.
Do I need to replace my Shopify theme?
No. MerchCanvas integrates with your existing Shopify storefront through its theme extension. Layout and recommendation setup depend on your theme’s capabilities; we can help check compatibility during setup.
Can I reuse images across products, collections and lookbooks?
Yes. Image Studio AI lets you save chosen images to Shopify assets for reuse, or add them to an existing product. Saving an asset, updating a product gallery and publishing a collection or lookbook are separate actions.
Who is behind MerchCanvas?
MerchCanvas is a product of Black Pear AB in Stockholm, Sweden. Its Image Studio AI is powered by Silken. Contact the MerchCanvas team for access, support or questions about your store.
