For most people, creating an online store seems like an impossible dream. But, finally, I discovered that even ordinary people can establish profitable, six-figure sales, the online marketplaces allow them to earn a good living and live their passions.

A client based in the USA used the marketplace integration extensions to list all the products of his OpenCart store on popular marketplace platforms like eBay and Etsy. He is now successfully managing all the inventories without spending extra time.

The marketplace integrations are one-time investments and with their help, you can easily manage orders, product listing, and inventory management from your OpenCart store itself. Just one app will do everything for you.

Why you should consider a Marketplace Integration?

After COVID-19, it is highly suggested to build your online presence on various social media and marketplace platforms. For small vendors, earlier there was no way to sell their hand-made products to an enormous audience. In fairs, open markets, or under consignment, these artisans used to sell their products.

The launch of Etsy Marketplace, however, helped these small merchants sell their products online as it is a fast, moderate, and easy way to access millions of customers worldwide, resulting in good profits.

The marketplace integration’s benefits are listed in the above section and with that, you get a lot of features that reduce your extra efforts of selling on a marketplace like eBay, Etsy, or Amazon.
