What matters in the comparison

First and foremost, all your channels must be connected – a missing marketplace can't be made up for by other features. After that, the costs at your actual volume count: pricing models differ greatly, from prices per order to included quotas and revenue-based plans.

Also watch out for plan limits. Some entry plans only allow a few channels or a limited number of orders – the software finder takes this into account automatically.

Frequently asked questions

What is multichannel software?

Software that centrally manages orders, stock and shipping from several sales channels – such as Amazon, eBay and your own shop. This keeps stock in sync and prevents overselling.

When is multichannel software worth it?

As soon as you sell on more than one channel and reconcile stock or invoices manually. Some providers start at under €50 per month; the finder above shows the exact costs for your volume.
