When you decide to expand your e-commerce business, you usually open a new store on a different online platform. For example, if you have a Shopify business that sells garden supplies and you take a huge chunk of market share. While being quite satisfied with the current position, you usually decide to strike for more.

Therefore, you open a new eBay shop with different products like plant seeds or home decor. It is also quite common to keep the same products, but open a new shop with different targeting groups and pursue market share in a new segment.

When you open a new eBay shop and the customer flow begins, you can face another challenge which is stock management. It can be overwhelming to manage and somehow synchronise Shopify and eBay stores with each other. That is until you start using Multiorders inventory management software.

Stock management

With Multiorders it is possible to manage an unlimited amount of stores on one dashboard and never worry about them being out of sync. The main reason is that Multiorders allows you to integrate all your shops and merge their inventory. To put it in a simple way, Multiorders can synchronise Shopify and eBay stores.
