Vastura Ag

The Vastura family's Ag Niche storefront (vasturaag.ca) — an in-house dogfood deployment for the full Vastura Digital toolchain.

What Vastura Digital ships into it

  • Catalogue Rewriter (Ag) — transforms raw DSers exports into Shopify-ready CSV with Vastura voice, tiered pricing, and category tags
  • Collection Sync — keeps Shopify collections and the theme's sub-category grid in sync with the catalogue tag set
  • Image Resync — the post-import image re-link flow
  • Market Check — periodic competitor-price hygiene pass
  • Mobile Check — storefront mobile audit
  • Weekly View — Monday-morning metrics dashboard pulling Shopify and Meta Ads exports
  • Blog Drafter (Ag) — SEO-focused homesteader content for the Ag blog

Honest learning

Image hosting was the silent failure mode — AliExpress CDN URLs go dead within weeks. We strip image URLs from the rewriter output and use a separate post-import sync. Saved us from a store full of broken image tiles every other import cycle.
