Monthly Update: Agency Workspaces, and the Agent API for everyone
June was about handing work off without losing control. You can now run many client stores from a single account and give each teammate, or each AI agent, a seat scoped to exactly what they should touch. The Agent API opened up to every plan, including Free. And a lot of the busywork around orders now runs itself: payments that land late get sent to production automatically, and your storefront orders stay in sync without you clicking anything. Here's what's new.
Agency Workspaces
If you run more than one brand, or run stores for other people, this is the big one. One account now holds many isolated client workspaces. Each workspace has its own stores, products, designs, and orders, and nothing leaks across the boundary. You invite your team once as seats on the account, then assign each person to the workspaces they should work in, with a role that maps to the actual job: Director, Creator, Merchandiser, Operator, or Viewer.
The part we're most excited about: you can hand an AI agent an API key locked to one workspace and one role. A Creator key can design and build in one client's space and nowhere else. An Operator key can run fulfillment and never touch pricing. It's the safe way to delegate commerce work to people and agents at the same time.
We wrote a full walkthrough of who it's for and how the roles work in the Agency Workspaces post. If you've been juggling a separate login per client, start there.
The Agent API is now on every plan, including Free
Until now, connecting an AI agent to your store took a paid plan. That's changed. Every plan, including Free, now includes Agent API access with one API key you can generate yourself from the Developer settings.
Why open it up: the fastest way to understand what an agent can do for your store is to point one at it and watch. Now you can trial the whole agentic workflow, design, product build, store sync, order lookups, without upgrading first. The free plan's usual generation limits still apply, so there's no surprise on cost. Grab a key, pair it with our open Claude Code skill, and you're running in a couple of minutes.
Keep your orders in sync with your storefront
Orders that come from Shopify, WooCommerce, or Wix live in two places at once: on the storefront and in ApparelHub. When one side changes, the other used to drift. A refund on the storefront, a cancellation, a tracking number we pushed back after fulfillment. Now there's one action that squares them up.
Open any storefront order and you'll see a "Reconcile with your channel" button. Click it and ApparelHub pulls the latest payment, refund, and cancellation status from the storefront and pushes your fulfillment and tracking back to it, so both records agree. Prefer it to happen on its own? Flip on "Keep orders in sync" in your Store Settings and reconciliation runs quietly in the background for that store. It's off by default, so nothing changes until you turn it on.
See which listings are healthy at a glance
A product you synced weeks ago can quietly go sideways on the storefront: someone archives it, trashes it, or deletes it, and your dashboard keeps showing green. Not anymore. The Store Dashboard now tracks the real state of every listing and labels it In Sync, Needs Attention, or Removed upstream.
Check the health of one listing, or select several and check them all at once. There's a Healthy and Unhealthy filter so you can jump straight to the products that need a look, and a bulk push so you can re-list to every connected channel in one move. If a listing got deleted on the channel, you'll see it flagged instead of finding out from a customer.
Payments that land late now fulfill on their own
Some storefront orders arrive unpaid and the payment clears a little later. Those orders used to stop and wait, sitting in your account marked paid but never sent to production. We fixed the whole path. When the payment lands, ApparelHub now submits the order to your fulfillment provider automatically, and it respects your workflow settings the whole way. If you review orders before they go to production, it prepares a draft and waits for you. If you're on auto-pilot, it goes straight through, with the margin guardrail still watching for anything underwater.
Smaller things we shipped
- Filter your products by price and channel. The Store Dashboard products table gained a price-range filter and a sales-channel filter, so a big catalog is faster to work through.
- Push edited details to your channels. Changed a product's name, description, or price after it was live? A "Sync Product Details" action on the edit screen pushes just those changes out to your connected stores.
- Failed WooCommerce syncs now tell you why. If a WooCommerce sync ever doesn't go through, the product row shows the reason right there instead of a generic warning, so you know what to fix.
- Copy or move products and images between workspaces. Built something in one client's workspace that belongs in another? You can copy it as a fresh draft or move it outright, with guardrails so you never disturb a product that's already live or has orders against it.
What's next
TikTok Shop is almost here. Our app is built and has cleared TikTok's app review, and we're in the final approval steps before it goes live, so if you sell custom merchandise and want it in front of TikTok's audience, it's close. Alongside that, we're keeping the throughline going: more ways to delegate the repetitive parts of running a store to automation and to agents, safely. We'll keep investing in the Agent API and the open skill that sits on top of it.
Most of what's above is already live on apparelhub.ai. Sign in, open your Developer settings to grab an Agent API key, and if you run stores for clients, take Agency Workspaces for a spin.
