Beyond Amazon: Discover Other IN-SYNCH Integrated Marketplaces

While Amazon Marketplace integration is one of our most popular requests here at ROI, IN-SYNCH is capable of much more. Our software is flexible, proven, and powerful enough to integrate almost any touchpoint between almost any third-party software and Sage 100. In this blog, we’ll take a look at three different marketplaces (or marketplace networks) that some of our clients use instead of, connected to, or in addition to Amazon. IN-SYNCH is a proven integration solution for all of them!

Walmart Marketplace

Walmart Marketplace helps vendors to reach millions of already-loyal customers. Similar to Amazon Marketplace, Walmart Marketplace allows vendors to choose between fulfilling their Walmart orders themselves or using Walmart’s own fulfillment services. Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS) offers 2-day shipping nationwide, while still offering very competitive rates. In fact, WFS can even integrate with other e-commerce platforms and fulfill those orders, too.

Some other highlights of Walmart Marketplace include:

• Easily sell internationally through Walmart’s markets in Canada, Chile, China, and Mexico
• Boost product visibility through “sponsored search” advertising options
• Analyze product performance through a comprehensive Seller Center
• Only pay for what your company sells—Walmart doesn’t charge set-up fees or monthly fees
• Prioritize growth with Walmart’s many educational resources for vendors as well as AI-powered recommendations in Seller Central

eBay for Business

Many people think of eBay as a place for individuals to sell second-hand items. But there’s much more to it than that! eBay for Business allows vendors to sell products just like any other e-commerce platform. Through a Seller Hub, companies can list items, analyze product performance, decide on shipping options, and create analytical reports. It will even provide a list of any actions that need immediate attention. The best part? It’s completely free to use.

Here are some other great features of eBay for Business:

• Quickly create multiple listings through a streamlined listing tool
• Manage shipping, cancellations, and returns in one place
• Edit best offers in bulk
• Access detailed traffic reports on all listings
• Promote listings’ visibility through a paid service
• Learn more about eBay best practices through research tools and insights
• Easily integrate eBay for Business with other third-party providers (including Rithum!)

Rithum (formerly Channel Advisor)

Rithum is a bit different from the other two marketplaces we’ve covered here. Instead of a single e-commerce marketplace, Rithum is an e-commerce network that spans multiple channels and partnership models, allowing companies to bring all channels and third-party marketplaces together in one place. Rithum provides a unified dropship and marketplace model, allowing companies to gain access to hundreds of selling channels using automated SKU conversions and unified shipping solutions. Rithum is all about getting the highest ROI possible while reaching as many selling channels as possible, and over 40,000 brands and retailers have taken them up on that offer.

Here are some other benefits Rithum provides:

• Automatically transform product feed data to meet the requirements of any channel
• Streamline paid search advertising across channels
• Easily add new channels, including Amazon, eBay, and Walmart
• Integrate with advertising channels as well as selling channels
