  • 4 min read

The internet is a big place—and it keeps getting bigger. Apps, platforms, marketplaces, and digital solutions are launched on a daily basis. Consumer habits and expectations evolve. For ecommerce businesses, these changes pose enormous opportunity in the form of new sales channels, new audiences, and new ways to stand out from the competition.

But all this "new" can be a lot to keep up with. How do you ensure you have the best integrated marketplaces, tools, and services for your unique business needs?

Whether you're getting your own new startup off the ground, or have run an ecommerce business for a while and need that secret ingredient to bring your sales and customer experience to the next level, finding the right integrations can be a daunting task. To help you along your way, we've put together a handy list of the best ecommerce integrations you need.

Newegg Ecommerce Integration 

1. Newegg and NeweggBusiness

Type of Integration: Marketplace

Since its founding in 2000, Newegg has grown into a top online retail destination for tech lovers around the world. That's due in part to the third-party merchants who use the site to reach savvy computer hardware and consumer electronics shoppers. The company opened up its consumer marketplace to sellers several years ago, and just recently launched its business-to-business seller marketplace, NeweggBusiness, which offers bulk discounts and other pricing options to companies and public institutions.

Key Features/Benefits:

  • Dedicated retail site for computer parts, accessories, software, and games
  • Discrete consumer-facing and business-facing marketplaces
  • While niche, has expanded to encompass areas other than tech, including kitchenware, home decor, sports equipment, apparel, accessories, and toys and hobbies

Why You Need to Integrate With Newegg and NeweggBusiness:

  • Reach more than 36 million active customers
  • Join a marketplace that often outperforms Amazon in pricing and customer experience
  • Gain access to over 150,000 high-volume buyers, many of whom may become repeat customers

Walmart Ecommerce Integration 

2. Walmart

Type of Integration: Marketplace

Walmart is the world's largest retail company, and yet it only owns around 3% of ecommerce market share. To catch up with its rival, Amazon, the company is dedicating vast resources to its third-party marketplace—which, while still relatively small, saw a 60% increase in sales last year. An unsaturated marketplace backed by a retail giant with an aggressive growth strategy? Shrewd sellers recognize the potential here, and are expanding their ecommerce reach by integrating with Walmart.

Jet Ecommerce Integration

3. Jet.com

Type of Integration: Marketplace

Like parent company Walmart, Jet.com is a relative newcomer to the ecommerce industry with a lot to offer to merchants. Sure, the marketplace is currently about 2% the size of Amazon's, but it's growing much faster due to its deep discounts for members and marketplace-first approach. And while many sellers have shied away from Jet due to its lack of a sales interface, a multichannel partner like SellerActive can take care of API integration for you.

Jet Package

Key Features/Benefits:

  • Quickly expanding marketplace, with year-over-year growth around 50%
  • Built with third-party merchants in mind
