With the new integration, Shopify merchants will have the
opportunity to surface their brand and products to a massive new
audience of more than 169 million active eBay buyers. eBay shoppers
will benefit from added selection and choice from potentially
hundreds of thousands of Shopify merchants.
This integration will also enable Shopify merchants to
immediately sync inventory information such as product title and
description, item specifics, price and quantity from Shopify to
eBay. Customer orders will also be imported to Shopify and allow
merchants to fulfill orders from both platforms in one location,
while messages from buyers on eBay will also be visible within
Shopify so their sellers won't miss any important
communications.
“eBay is focused on delivering the best choice and selection of
inventory to buyers across the globe,” said Bob Kupbens, VP of
Global Trust & Seller Experience, eBay. “This new integration
with Shopify will bring even more great products to eBay buyers,
while offering Shopify merchants the ability to seamlessly drive
their business and brand at scale by tapping into our vibrant
marketplace.”
This integration continues to make selling online easier for
Shopify merchants to conveniently manage their product catalog
across multiple channels like online, in-person, marketplaces,
social and messaging all in one dashboard.
The eBay channel joins the fast-growing list of other Shopify
sales channels, including Amazon, BuzzFeed, Facebook, Pinterest,
Messenger and retail via Shopify’s Point of Sale, among others.
These integrations are possible because of Shopify’s Sales Channel
Platform, a collection of APIs that can be used to add commerce to
any site, app, or platform. Sales channels are an important part of
a Shopify merchant’s business strategy, and more than 60% of
merchants sell in two or more channels.
“Shopify is the industry leader when it comes to multi-channel
commerce, and we look to partner with the best and biggest
platforms to bring new sales opportunities to our merchants,” said
Satish Kanwar, VP of Product, Shopify. “The eBay channel has the
potential to introduce our merchants to eBay’s millions of buyers,
exposing merchants to a massive number of new sales
opportunities.”
The eBay sales channel is expected to be available in Fall 2017
for Shopify merchants selling in USD in the United States.
