Multichannel Inventory Management for International Sellers

Risks of selling on multiple marketplaces

• Overselling: you sell more than you actually have and must cancel orders, which hurts your shop rating.
• Stock figures that do not match across marketplaces.
• It is hard to track which products sell best.

How to keep stock in sync

• Use multichannel inventory and order management software.
• Set a safety stock level (buffer).
• Update stock as soon as an order comes in.

Order processing workflow

1. Bring orders from all marketplaces into one place.
2. Print labels, pack to standard and ship with ePacket.
3. Upload tracking to each marketplace to protect your seller rating.
