Why you should consider a Marketplace Integration?

After COVID-19, it is highly suggested to build your online presence on various social media and marketplace platforms. For small vendors, earlier there was no way to sell their hand-made products to an enormous audience. In fairs, open markets, or under consignment, these artisans used to sell their products.

The launch of Etsy Marketplace, however, helped these small merchants sell their products online as it is a fast, moderate, and easy way to access millions of customers worldwide, resulting in good profits.

The marketplace integration’s benefits are listed in the above section and with that, you get a lot of features that reduce your extra efforts of selling on a marketplace like eBay, Etsy, or Amazon.
