Selling on several marketplaces means keeping products, prices, stock and orders in sync across platforms. Doing that by hand quickly becomes slow and error-prone, and that is where marketplace integration comes in. This guide focuses on the Turkish market (Trendyol, Hepsiburada and Amazon Türkiye); platform terms change, so check each platform’s current seller rules.
What Is Marketplace Integration?
Software or a connection that links your store or product system to marketplaces so products, prices, stock and orders are managed automatically.
How Does It Work?
Your main system (an e-commerce site, ERP or integration software) sends product, price and stock updates to each marketplace and pulls orders back, so everything stays in sync.

Not required; marketplaces can serve as a sales channel by themselves. But for brand independence and long-term customer relationships, having your own e-commerce site is recommended.

No. They vary by category, platform and policy changes over time. Always check current rates in the platform’s seller panel.
