BigCommerce Merchants Grow Businesses Through
Seamless Integration with eBay
Today, eBay and BigCommerce announced a strategic relationship
to enable BigCommerce merchants to seamlessly list their products
and manage their inventory on the eBay marketplace. BigCommerce
customers will have access and exposure to more than 162 million
global active eBay buyers, allowing them to grow their businesses
within today’s competitive retail environment, while eBay buyers
will benefit from added selection and choice.
“We’re ecstatic to welcome BigCommerce merchants to our vibrant
seller community, where they’ll have the ability to deliver the
best choice and selection of inventory to buyers globally,” said
Hal Lawton, senior vice president, eBay North America. “We’re
steadfast in our efforts to provide merchants of all sizes the
tools and platform to drive their businesses and brands in a
scalable, frictionless manner within today’s multi-channel
environment – and that is exactly what this relationship is
designed to accomplish.”
Merchants running their businesses with BigCommerce will be able
to save time and operate more efficiently with the ability to list,
manage and sell on the eBay marketplace through the BigCommerce
control panel. Through the integration, business owners will be
able to take advantage of several unique benefits, including:
- Centralized inventory
management: Merchants can effortlessly sync stock levels and
eBay orders with their online store, providing streamlined
fulfillment and order management without the need for manually
managing processes across various channels. Once integrated,
merchants will be able to view their entire product catalogue and
inventory.
- Rapid bulk listing and central
management: Merchants can quickly create hundreds of eBay
listings within a matter of minutes using customizable templates,
saving hundreds of hours with automatic product mapping to eBay
categories.
- Sync quantity, price and
descriptions to reach more buyers: Merchants can sell their
inventory in-front of a global audience by using eBay’s Global
Shipping Program.
“It’s never been more important for business owners to manage
and sell across multiple channels, and this partnership allows our
customers to take advantage of a thriving marketplace that will
bring them new customers and turn that discovery into revenue,”
said Brent Bellm, CEO of BigCommerce. “Multiple sales channels can
introduce complexity, but this integration will bring our customers
a more efficient way to grow their businesses, and save them time
previously spent managing multiple platforms.”
BigCommerce merchants will be able to take advantage of the eBay
integration later this year when the service goes live. Beta
testing will begin in the third quarter of 2016. To learn more,
