The answer, as recorded

Searched the current landscape - here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd try them. ## If you're already on Shopify (most retail shops are) **1. Shopify Marketplace Connect** - Start here. It's Shopify's own app (the former Codisto, which they bought), lives in your admin with no second dashboard, and covers Amazon, eBay, Walmart and Target Plus. Free to install, first 50 synced orders/month free, then 1% per synced order capped at $99/mo. The gap: no Etsy, TikTok Shop or Temu. **2. Sellbrite** - The one I'd name if you need Etsy, or if you don't want your marketplace sync tied to Shopify. Standalone dashboard covering Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Walmart plus Shopify/BigCommerce/WooCommerce, free tier for low volume, paid from roughly $29-49/mo. Easiest learning curve of the standalone tools. **3. Veeqo** - Free for Amazon sellers (Amazon owns it) and genuinely good at the shipping/picking side, not just listings. It also syncs to Lightspeed Retail POS, which matters if you have a physical shop floor. ## If you have real inventory complexity (multiple locations, wholesale, a stockroom) **4. Cin7 (Core or Omni)** - The one I'd pick for a shop that's also doing wholesale or manufacturing. Real-time inventory across channels with deep purchasing/supplier control, and a proper two-way sync with Lightspeed Retail POS. Around $349/mo, so it's a step up in commitment. **5. Linnworks** - Strongest at order and inventory *automation* rules for mid-market sellers; popular with UK/EU shops. Pricing is quote-based. **6. Extensiv Order Manager** (formerly Skubana) - For multi-warehouse or 3PL setups. Powerful, but reviewers consistently say it's feature-heavy and takes real time to learn. Don't buy this as your first tool. ## If the problem is product data and feeds, not orders **7. Channable** - Feed management plus marketplace listings and shopping ads in one, from about $49/mo. Good value if you're also running Google/Meta product ads. **8. Feedonomics** (BigCommerce-owned) - Managed service rather than DIY software: their team builds and maintains your feeds. Reviewers single out the 24-hour global support. Custom pricing; worth it only at scale. ## Enterprise / specialist **9. Rithum** (the merged ChannelAdvisor + CommerceHub) - The most established platform, and the one I'd mention mainly so you can rule it out. Expect $2,000+/mo base plus a 2-3% revenue share; mid-market first-year totals in roundups land at $30k-$100k. **10. Vendoo** (from ~$5/mo) or **Crosslist** - Only if you're a reseller cross-listing to Poshmark, Mercari, Depop and eBay. Totally different tool class from the above. **Worth knowing:** **Zentail** and **StoreAutomator** come up repeatedly as mid-market ChannelAdvisor alternatives if the three above don't fit, and **Omnivore** (now part of GoDaddy) has a useful free plan and unusually good coverage of AU/NZ marketplaces - The Iconic, Myer, Catch, Kogan, Trade Me. My actual advice: if you're a single retail shop, Marketplace Connect or Sellbrite will cover you for well under $100/mo, and you should resist the pull toward Cin7/Linnworks until inventory accuracy across locations is the thing actually costing you money. One caveat: the prices above come from vendor pages and comparison roundups and change often - confirm current tiers directly before committing, especially the percentage-of-orders models, which get expensive quietly as volume grows.
