Every major marketplace will reject a raw Shopify export without transformation. • Connecting Shopify to marketplaces like bol.com, Amazon, and Zalando requires API-based integration, not just a product file upload. • Order sync brings marketplace orders directly into your Shopify dashboard – so your team processes all orders in one place, regardless of which channel they came from. • Your product feed must contain correctly formatted GTINs, channel-specific titles, accurate pricing, and real-time stock levels. Missing any of these causes disapprovals or overselling. • The recommended setup sequence is: feed management first, then marketplace integration, then order and inventory automation – one channel at a time. |
