Marketplace integration: the same stock on every channel.
A marketplace integration keeps orders, stock and prices on marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay in sync with your own business software. At Pirdir, an item sold on one channel comes off stock on the other channels too.

A sale day at a ceramics studio
Five moments at a six-person studio selling its handmade mugs on three channels. The 14 mugs on the shelf are on sale everywhere at once.
09:00
A sale price on one channel
For an Amazon promotion, Sofia sets a 15% discount on the mug. The price changes on Amazon only; eBay and the Shopify store keep the usual price.
12:10
One sale, stock on three channels
A mug sells on Amazon as AMZ-88102. Stock goes from 14 to 13, and within seconds eBay and the Shopify store show 13 too.
12:14
Invoice and label without asking
An invoice is issued for the same order and the marketplace's shipping label is printed. By the time Tom wraps the mug, the label is out of the printer.
15:30
The last mugs aren't oversold
eBay order EB-2231 takes two mugs and stock drops to 11. When it reaches 0 towards evening, the mug closes on all three channels and no order has to be cancelled.
18:30
The day ends with the channel report
Sofia checks the channel report: Amazon 31, eBay 18, Shopify 9 orders. After fees, the Shopify store earns the most per order.

Can product information be sent to the marketplace from Pirdir?
Yes, for the fields the marketplace allows. Category mapping is done during setup.
