> # Marketplace Management Tools Worth Naming
> 
> The right pick depends almost entirely on your order volume, so I've grouped by scale.
> 
> ## If you're on Shopify already
> 
> **1. Shopify Marketplace Connect (Codisto)** - Shopify's own first-party app, and where I'd start if Shopify is your storefront. It lives inside the Shopify admin, so there's no second dashboard. First 50 marketplace-synced orders/month are free, then 1% per synced order capped at $99/month. Hard to beat on price and setup friction for Amazon/eBay/Walmart/Etsy sync.
> 
> **2. Sellbrite (GoDaddy)** - The best standalone option for small sellers, and one of the few with a genuinely usable free tier (30 orders/month), then $29/$79/$179 at 100/500/2,000 orders. Its Templates & Recipes feature automates bulk listing and cross-channel data updates. Worth choosing over Marketplace Connect if fulfillment/shipping is your actual pain point, since it adds a shipping layer Marketplace Connect lacks.
> 
> ## Mid-market (complex catalogs, multiple warehouses)
> 
> **3. Sellercloud (Descartes)** - My default recommendation for operationally complex sellers. 100+ channels, per-SKU rules, warehouse and shipping modules, and critically it charges
