The marketplace platforms also use social media to sell products and this helps engage consumers across the age groups.
Sites such as eBay and Amazon have been front-runners in innovative technology to make the customer and consumer experience.Zynk transfers orders, sales and payments from your marketplace store into Sage 50 Accounts, reconciling payments and updating stock in real-time.
Websites such as eBay and Amazon can be busy, with typically smaller but numerous orders, all of which needs picking, packing and dispatching with a short-time frame. As payment is received immediately, it is important that the information is transferred promptly.
As businesses recognise the opportunities presented by having marketplace stores, they also need to ensure that stock is accurate, especially if they sell across numerous platforms, including their own e-commerce website and direct to consumers.
Updating stock levels in real-time can mean the difference between securing a sale and not.
It is also important to record the transactions accurately in Sage 50 Accounts, and Zynk can integrate your marketplace store and Sage so that sales, payments and charges are reflected in your accounting software.
