Marketplace connection that covers the whole chain
A marketplace connection with Import2Shop does more than link your shop to a marketplace. It covers the whole way: import your wholesaler assortment, manage it centrally in Import2Shop and push it out from there to your shop and to marketplaces like eBay. One assortment, one central stock, all channels in sync, so nothing gets oversold.
How is Import2Shop different from pure marketplace tools?
Most tools start too late
Pure marketplace tools connect your shop and a marketplace, nothing more. You still have to build and maintain your assortment yourself.
But that is exactly where the real work begins: pulling data from your wholesaler, cleaning it up, keeping prices and stock current.
We cover the whole chain
Assortment and product data come straight from the supplier into the system.
One maintained data set instead of a silo per channel.
From the same assortment, without double work.
Sales on every channel draw from the same inventory.
How to bring your wholesaler assortment onto marketplaces
1
Connect your wholesaler
You connect your suppliers, and their assortment plus product data flows automatically into the system.
2
Manage the assortment centrally
Products, categories and prices are maintained in one place, not per sales channel.
3
List on the marketplace
On eBay, the AI helps with required fields and item specifics as well as category mapping.
4
Keep stock and prices in sync
Inventory and prices run automatically across all channels, at the intervals you define.
5
Bring orders back in
Marketplace orders come back into the system and can be processed there.
Which marketplaces can you connect?
eBay: fully supported
eBay is fully connected: AI item specifics, category mapping, GPSR compliance and six EU countries (DE, AT, ES, UK, FR, IT). So you can list products on eBay automatically.
More marketplaces in preparation
The platform is built for multiple channels. More marketplaces are in preparation, and we deliberately do not name a fixed date yet.
One stock for all channels
Because every channel draws from the same stock, nothing gets sold twice, no matter how many marketplaces you add.
Marketplace connection alongside Shopify, Shopware and more
Import2Shop is the central source. Your shop runs as one channel alongside it, from the same stock as the marketplaces.
Shopify
Your Shopify shop is filled from Import2Shop and runs as a channel alongside the marketplaces.
Shopware
Shopware runs as a channel off Import2Shop, served from the same stock as eBay and co.
WooCommerce
Connect WooCommerce: Import2Shop pushes the same products to your shop and to the marketplaces.
Gambio
Gambio shops also run as a channel off Import2Shop, in parallel with the marketplaces.
