Have some uncertainties bubbling up? Explore the FAQs
Marketplacer Connector supports a standard solution for Shipping Methods, through Shopify Shipping Profiles. Shopify has a limit of 99 shipping profiles, effectively supporting the same limited number of Marketplacer sellers. If there are over 99 "Seller, Shipping profile" pairs, custom implementation is required.
In several minutes, the API-based suite syncs massive data loads between the platforms to get your storefront off the ground.
When customers add items from different sellers to their cart, the products are grouped and sorted by the seller. This allows customers to choose their preferred shipping options, which are directly sourced from the seller data on the Marketplacer platform.
As they proceed to checkout, the journey shifts to Shopify, where your integrated payment gateways, along with robust security and compliance measures, handle the transaction.
Shipping promotions are not supported due to vendor tech limitations.
There is no separate sync for categories—they should be deleted manually in Shopify. To update category names in Marketplacer, you are to manually update category names in Shopify.
