Stockmate's Multi-Channel Journey: Integrating Shopify, Amazon, and eBay

We're thrilled to announce the next chapter in Stockmate's story. After months of development and countless conversations with our users, we're evolving into something bigger - a true multi-channel eCommerce solution. Starting with Shopify, Amazon, and eBay, we're reimagining how businesses manage their online presence.

The Journey to Multi-Channel

"I'm selling on three different platforms, but managing inventory feels like juggling blindfolded." This comment from one of our users perfectly captures why we're making this change. You've told us you need a single, reliable system to manage inventory across all your sales channels - and we've listened.

The solution? We're starting with the platforms you use most: Shopify, Amazon, and eBay. But this isn't just about adding new integrations - we're completely rethinking how inventory management should work in a multi-channel world.

What's Changing?

Here's where it gets exciting. We've rebuilt our core architecture from the ground up. Think of it like upgrading from a filing cabinet to a smart organization system that automatically keeps everything in sync.

The old way? Everything about a product - price, SKU, barcode - was stored in one place. Great for simple setups, but it's like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole when you're selling the same product at different prices across multiple platforms.

Our new approach? We've separated your core inventory from how it's presented on each platform. It's like having a master inventory list that can wear different outfits for different occasions. Here's what this means:

• Channel-Specific PricingTrack and manage different price points across marketplaces while maintaining unified inventory counts.
• Marketplace IdentifiersStore unique SKUs, barcodes, and product identifiers for each sales channel while linking back to a single inventory source.
• Real-Time Price AnalyticsGather actual transaction data across all channels to understand true product performance and optimal pricing strategies.

The First Wave: Three Key Integrations
