Your Shopify store can grow to multiple marketplaces such as Amazon and Etsy to extend your reach and revenue.
Running a Shopify store already gives you a solid foundation for your business. You’ve built a great site, have a smooth checkout system, and created a brand you’re proud of. But what if you could reach even more customers, without the hassle of building an entirely new website? That’s where multi-marketplace selling comes in. Platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, and Etsy attract millions of buyers every day, giving your products greater visibility and the potential for higher revenue. The challenge, however, is managing listings, inventory, and orders across multiple platforms, which can quickly become overwhelming. Doing it all manually is neither efficient nor error-free. That’s exactly where a specialized tool can simplify the entire process.
Marketplace selling is all about going to where your customers are. Although your Shopify store is the central location, the marketplace is like a retail store in a crowded mall. The reasons why it is a great idea to expand are as follows:
Brand Visibility: Having your products appear on recognizable market places will also create brand awareness and credibility. Clients who find you on Amazon may subsequently become dedicated customers on your Shopify store.
Automate inventory, orders & shipping with Shipturtle to grow your Shopify store across multiple marketplaces without overselling.
The dream of multi-channel selling can quickly turn into a nightmare without the right system. Here are some common problems you'll face:
Performance Tracking: It’s hard to get a clear picture of what’s working and what isn't when your sales data is scattered across different channels. You need a unified view to make smart business decisions.
Expand your Shopify store effortlessly—sync products, manage orders, and automate shipping across marketplaces with Shipturtle to save time and boost sales.
In order to have a successful connection between your Shopify store and other marketplaces, there are several things that must be in place:
It is not necessary to have a complex connection to your store. The following is a simple procedure to follow:
1. Write Down Your Needs: First, you must determine which marketplaces you would like to sell on and what you require out of an integration tool. Is inventory and pricing two-way syncing required? How do you ship and get paid? A proper plan at the initial stage will allow you to find the proper solution.
2. Use a Connector Tool such as Shipturtle: Add Shipturtle in the Shopify App Store. Installation is fast with a new store taking a couple of minutes. After it is installed, you will manage it all through the cloud dashboard of Shipturtle on your Shopify backend.
3. Map Products and Categories: You will have to match your Shopify product categories with those of each marketplace. Product sync feature of a tool such as Shipturtle can auto-map product SKUs and product variants, simplify the process and make it less error-prone.
4. Set Inventory Rules: Establish stock rules. As an example, you will be in a position to have a buffer where you never sell the final item and end up running out of stock by mistake. Between your store and the marketplaces, Shipturtle maintains a real-time inventory that aids in preventing overselling.
5. Enable Order Sync: Orders made in marketplaces will directly show in your Shopify. This enables you to control all of your orders in a single place and they can be directed automatically to your suppliers in case you have a multi-vendor system.
The shipping and returns of a single store are challenging; it is another thing to manage shipping and returns across several marketplaces. A quality connector tool must make this procedure easier. Shipturtle has 200+ built-in integrations with shipping services, allowing you to manage all shipping and returns activities using a single interface. You can also shippers by location or product, have visibility of shipments across multiple platforms, and manage returns in a single operation, without logging into the marketplace.
Good business decisions require knowing how your products are selling in each marketplace. You should understand what you sell the best and what channel brings the largest amount of money. The analytics module of Shipturtle provides you with the entire picture of the volume of orders, seller performance, and revenue per marketplace. This can help you retrieve top selling products easily and get to know the order patterns without manually retrieving data across various sources.
Use a Single Tool: Instead of juggling multiple dashboards, use one central tool for all your operations. This saves time and reduces the chance of errors, making your workflow much smoother.
