Marketplace
Expand your eCommerce opportunities.
An online marketplace increases convenience for your visitors by giving them more product choices and allowing them to order those products directly through your webstore. With an online marketplace, your business can leverage third-party inventory to enable eCommerce or to offer greater product category depth and breadth. In online marketplaces:
- Product and inventory information is provided by third-party suppliers
- Sales transactions are processed on your website and your business serves as the merchant of record
- Orders are communicated back to the suppliers, who fulfill them
Ixtens makes online marketplaces possible.
The Ixtens Marketplace combines our world-class cloud-based platform technology and merchant-supplier network with comprehensive eCommerce services.
