Shopify Marketplace Connect** - If your store already runs on Shopify, start here before paying for anything else. It's Shopify's own (formerly Codisto) app, free to install, and pushes your catalog to Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Etsy and Facebook/Instagram with real-time inventory sync back to one place. For a retail shop with a Shopify POS, this is the lowest-friction option because stock on the shelf, online store, and marketplaces all draw from the same inventory record.\n\n**2. Sellbrite** - The best pick if you're *not* on Shopify or you want the listing tool to stay independent of your storefront. It's built for small-to-mid sellers, handles listing templates, multi-warehouse inventory, and order routing, and it's cheap relative to the enterprise tier. Owned by GoDaddy, so it's stable, but the channel list is narrower than the big platforms.\n\n**3. LitCommerce** - Worth a look as the budget alternative in this tier; it's consistently named the top Codisto/Sellbrite alternative for multichannel sellers and connects a wide channel set at a low monthly price.\n\n## Mid-market (hundreds-to-thousands of SKUs, real ops burden)\n\n**4.
