Marpipe: what it is, how it works & who it's for

Catalog ad platform that turns product feeds into branded image and video ads

Updated · Pricing checked October 2026

What is Marpipe?

Marpipe is a catalog ad platform that helps ecommerce brands turn plain product feeds into branded image and video ads for dynamic product ad campaigns. Instead of showing a bare product photo on a white background, Marpipe wraps each item in a designed template with live prices, badges and other data. It targets online stores and agencies that spend heavily on catalog ads on Meta, Google, Snapchat, Pinterest and similar channels.

Marpipe has grown beyond creative into feed management and product selection. It can clean and organize feeds, score them per channel, filter out weak products and apply AI image, video and text models to the catalog. Marpipe offers free tiers for both catalog creative and feed management, with paid plans for brands that want enriched designs live across more channels.

How does Marpipe work?

  1. Connect your store

    Sign up and link your product catalog from Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Magento or Salesforce. Setup takes a few minutes. Product data then syncs to keep ads current.

  2. Design catalog templates

    Choose or build branded frames and add dynamic fields such as sale pricing, percent-off badges, reviews or countdown timers.

  3. Optimize the feed

    Organize product fields and sets, check the Feed Score for each channel and remove poorly performing SKUs.

  4. Push to ad channels

    Send the enriched catalog to Meta, Google, Snapchat, Pinterest and other platforms, where it powers dynamic product ads.

Marpipe FAQ

Is Marpipe free?

Marpipe has free tiers. The free Catalog Creative plan lets you explore and preview designs and launch standard catalog ads, and the free Feed Management plan gives DIY tools for fields, product sets and Feed Scores. Paid creative plans start at $199 per month for Startup, and Enterprise costs $999 per month.

What is Marpipe used for?

Marpipe is used to improve dynamic product ads, also called catalog ads. It adds branded frames, live prices, badges and other data to every product in a feed, creates product videos and helps manage and optimize the feed itself. Ecommerce brands use it to make catalog ads on Meta, Google and other channels look more like designed creative.

Does Marpipe integrate with Shopify?

Yes. Marpipe connects with Shopify and also lists BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Magento and Salesforce as supported commerce platforms. Once the store is linked, product data flows into Marpipe templates, and the enriched catalog can be sent to ad platforms such as Meta, Google, Snapchat and Pinterest.

Marpipe vs Hunch: what's the difference?

Both tools improve catalog ads with branded templates and video. Marpipe centers on catalog creative and feed management, with free tiers and published prices from $199 per month. Hunch adds localized ads and bulk campaign launching for Meta, Snapchat and TikTok, with pricing quoted after a demo. Your choice depends on whether you need feed tools or campaign automation.

What are enriched catalog ads?

Enriched catalog ads are dynamic product ads where each product image is placed inside a branded design with extra details such as sale prices, discount badges, reviews or countdown timers. Marpipe creates these from your product feed and keeps them updated as prices and stock change, so catalog ads look closer to designed brand creative.
