How Stark Digital built an AI-powered image automation pipeline for Truly Contagious,transforming plain white product photos into brand-consistent, sales-optimized visuals at scale, with zero manual effort

The challenge
Truly Contagious sells premium custom merchandise — but their entire catalogue was presented on plain white backgrounds, making every product look generic in a market where visual appeal drives purchase decisions. Manual editing at catalogue scale was too slow and costly to be practical.
What we built
The approach.
01Background Removal Automation — The remove.bg API extracts products cleanly — handling complex shapes, transparent elements, and varied product types without manual cleanup.
02AI Background Generation — DALL·E creates contextually appropriate, brand-aligned backgrounds tailored to each product — turning generic listings into compelling visuals.
03n8n Workflow Automation — The entire pipeline runs on n8n from Shopify fetch to final upload — with zero human intervention for standard products.
04Shopify Integration — Direct connection to the Shopify store — products are fetched, processed, and updated automatically without manual exports.
05Priority Processing — Featured and high-value products are processed first — ensuring the most commercially important items get the fastest turnaround.
06Catalogue-Scale Scalability — The system handles bulk transformation across the entire catalogue — growing with the business at no additional manual cost.
