Mercent Retail Marketplace helps online retailers promote their products across online transactional marketplaces like Amazon, Buy.com and Shop.com with industry-leading results.
While comparison shopping sites display your products and then send customers back to your site to complete the purchase, online transactional marketplaces complete the purchase on the marketplace site. This means the data being exchanged between retailer and marketplaces is not just product information but also inventory management, order fulfillment and financial information.
Mercent Retail Marketplace is designed from the ground up to handle the complex and unique challenges of multiple data feed exchanges and is ideally suited for connecting your retail systems with the sophisticated marketplace platforms. From the correct mapping of products to automatic order processing and ongoing data feed monitoring, Mercent Retail Marketplace automates and manages these processes and transactions to grow your revenue on marketplaces quickly and efficiently.
