## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-20 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd actually pick, roughly in the order I'd suggest trying them - the right answer depends mostly on your order volume and whether you already run on Shopify.
> 
> ## If you're on Shopify already
> 
> **1. Shopify Marketplace Connect** (formerly Codisto, now Shopify's own app) - start here before paying for anything else. Syncs your catalog, inventory and orders to Amazon, eBay, Walmart and Target Plus from inside Shopify admin. 50 free synced orders/month, then 1% per order capped at $99/month, so it's cheap at scale. The tradeoff: less control over marketplace-specific fields, and its review profile is the roughest of the bunch (~13% one-star out of ~1,950 reviews). Good enough for most stores under a few thousand orders. ([Shopify App Store](https://apps.shopify.com/marketplace-connect), [ShipWave comparison](https://shipwave.app/resources/shopify-marketplace-connector-apps))
> 
> **2. LitCommerce** - the alternative if Marketplace Connect's field control or channel list is too thin. $29/mo with unlimited orders and far more marketplaces (Etsy, TikTok Shop, Wish, Mercado Libre, etc.). ([LitCommerce](https://litcommerce.com/blog/codisto-alternatives/))

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
