Partially free trial versions available

By the way, Magnalister, Chanable and Billbee offer free trial versions for the beginning, which makes sense for the choice of provider to get an insight into what the different providers offer. Since each tool offers completely different billing models, it is not possible to make a blanket statement about which tool is the cheapest. Typically, a one-time setup fee and monthly base fees are added together, which can vary greatly depending on features.

When choosing your provider, you should definitely pay attention to the following points:

• Is an API possible?
• Did the tool support the categorization of own products?
• Can the provider also process large amounts of data?
• Is there automation in the form of data reconciliation?
• Is order synchronization possible?
  Are there constantly new features as the marketplaces evolve?
• Is the customer experience through the tool user-friendly?
• Does the tool support internationalization?
