Jointly developed integration enables
BigCommerce merchants to seamlessly list and manage inventory on
the eBay marketplace
Today, eBay and BigCommerce announced the availability of a new
integration that enables merchants to seamlessly list and sell
products on the eBay marketplace, while also having the ability to
manage inventory and orders natively through BigCommerce. Through
the integration, BigCommerce merchants can now select products from
their catalog and begin selling to more than 165 million active
buyers on eBay in a matter of minutes, without the need for
third-party apps or custom development.
“We’re thrilled to partner on a seamless solution for
BigCommerce merchants to scale their businesses through eBay’s
marketplace,” said Bob Kupbens, eBay’s Vice President of
Business-to-Consumer Selling. “eBay helps every shopper find items
that are perfect for them – and this integration will deliver even
more choice and selection to eBay’s highly engaged and active
global buyer base.”
On eBay today, shoppers enjoy amazing deals and a broad
selection of inventory, in which 81% of merchandise sold is new and
87% is sold at fixed price. BigCommerce merchants that choose to
sell on eBay can take advantage of unique benefits, such as:
- Centralized inventory management and
order processing: Merchants can simultaneously sell the same
products and inventory across both eBay and their branded website
while effortlessly syncing stock levels and eBay orders with their
online store. Streamlined fulfillment and order management
eliminates the need for manually managing processes across various
channels.
- Rapid bulk listing and central
management: Merchants can create hundreds of eBay listings in
minutes using customizable templates by automatically mapping
products to eBay categories.
- Channel-level control and
customization: Merchants can tailor eBay listings by defining
channel-specific descriptions and pricing while still using a
common product catalog.
- Scalable architecture: Thanks to
utilization of eBay’s new APIs, merchants will benefit from more
consistent and faster syncing.
“Our integration with eBay enables retailers to sell to the
massive eBay community from a single platform unified with their
branded websites,” said Brent Bellm, CEO of BigCommerce. “The eBay
and BigCommerce partnership allows retailers to maximize their
online sales while minimizing technical and operational
complexity.”
The integration with BigCommerce represents a broader API
initiative that eBay has recently undertaken to make both buying
and selling easier than ever. In mid-October, eBay revamped its API
platform with ten new standards-based APIs, with more to come in
2017.
With the release, BigCommerce is the only ecommerce platform to
natively support selling across the world’s two largest
marketplaces and leading social platforms, including Facebook and
Pinterest. BigCommerce merchants in the U.S. can configure the eBay
sales channel in the control panel beginning today. For more
