Multichannel Commerce
How to manage a website and marketplaces together
Connect product data, inventory, orders and support across direct and marketplace sales channels.

One source, several storefronts
A website and marketplace are different storefronts, but product identity, inventory and cost should have one reliable source. Build a SKU and variant dictionary first. Channel-specific titles may differ without changing the underlying identity.
Manage events and exceptions
Map how orders, cancellations, returns and stock changes travel between systems. When an integration fails, create a recorded task for manual resolution.
- Review channel-specific prices and fees
- Keep a safety stock buffer against overselling
- Alert on failed synchronization
- Reconcile orders and stock daily
Compare channels in one report
Do not judge channels by gross sales alone. Include contribution, return burden and operating effort. That makes it easier to decide which channel deserves more investment.
