Products import Wizard Pro and Selling Point are both Shopify apps in the 'Selling online' and 'Store data importer' categories, but they serve drastically different purposes. Products import Wizard Pro focuses on importing product data from various file formats (XML, CSV, JSON, Excel) and even from some web pages. Its key value proposition lies in automated product updates and synchronization, particularly when managing products across multiple stores or needing to frequently update product information from a supplier feed. However, it is limited because updating existing products is only possible if the products were initially imported through the app, indicating potential vendor lock-in if you change your importing process later. Selling Point, on the other hand, is highly specialized. It's designed solely for migrating and managing Gift Cards and Store Credits into Shopify. Its strength is in simplifying the previously complex and manual process of migrating this data from other platforms (POS systems, websites) to native Shopify Gift Cards or Store Credits. This app targets merchants with established gift card or store credit programs who are migrating to Shopify or consolidating their systems. Its value proposition is saving time and money by eliminating the need for manual data entry or custom development for gift card migration.

The choice between Products import Wizard Pro and Selling Point depends entirely on the merchant's needs.

However, be aware of the vendor lock-in for product updates.
Selling Point is specifically designed for merchants migrating to Shopify who need a simple and efficient way to transfer their existing gift card or store credit data. If your primary concern is gift card and store credit migration, Selling Point is the clear winner. If you need product data importing, and don't have complex gift card needs, then Products Import Wizard Pro is the choice.
