Marketplace self integration, how it works? what is the role of each?

You have been redirected to this page to better understand the concepts of context and the principle of catalog self-integration on a marketplace: how it works, how we operate, and how to achieve a successful marketplace integration.

Marketplace vs eBay

It is often said that publishing on eBay is simpler and less demanding — and that’s true. Why? Because historically eBay was not a marketplace but an auction and classified ads website, where a product is not unique. Each offer is its own page with a limited lifespan. So, if 10 sellers list the same product, there will be 10 different pages. Since offers are plentiful, publishing is much easier.

Do It Yourself (DIY)

As explained in Wikipedia, our approach is based on this principle.

Marketplace integration is technical, and third-party integration services are costly. By choosing self-integration (DIY), you benefit from our tool that helps you achieve integration as easily and affordably as possible.

Technical Aspects

The module eliminates the complex technicalities of marketplace integration. You don’t need to handle difficult files, know programming, or have advanced IT skills. The module is designed to be accessible to everyone.

Educational Approach

The key to your integration is you. Through the educational resources we provide, you become the main actor in your integration process.

The time it takes to succeed varies depending on:

• Technical factors: hosting environment, catalog structure, and catalog quality.
• Human factors: ability to assimilate information, motivation, willingness, and courtesy in communication.

Our goal is for you to learn and master your integration so you become independent and capable of managing future feeds without outside help.

Support

Support is there to assist when there are technical issues within our responsibility, unclear explanations, or missing information.

Challenges

You may sometimes feel: “If you did it yourself, it would only take 5 minutes.”

That may be true, but it goes against the principle of this solution. The goal is knowledge sharing — giving you the understanding to succeed independently. This educational approach is precisely what allows you to acquire the knowledge needed for marketplace integration.

Results

Thanks to this approach — educational resources, quality tools, and our support — the vast majority of customers succeed in their marketplace integration. This mutual success often leads them to come back to us for further integrations or projects. It’s the “win-win game”!
