Integrate Shopify with Amazon & eBay

Expand Your Dropshipping Business

🚀 Why Sell on Marketplaces Like Amazon & eBay?

Selling only through your Shopify store limits your reach to the traffic you can generate yourself. But integrating with platforms like Amazon and eBay opens access to millions of active buyers — many of whom are already searching for products like yours.

Benefits of Marketplace Integration:

🔥 Instant exposure to new customers
✅ High trust factor (especially for new stores)
📈 Extra revenue channel
🔄 Sync inventory and orders automatically
🌍 Expand to different countries via Amazon Europe, eBay Global Shipping

🔌 Step 1: Choose an Integration App (Shopify App Store)

Use one of these trusted apps to manage marketplace sync:

App	Platform	Features
Amazon by Codisto (Shopify Marketplace Connect)	Amazon	Real-time sync, bulk listings
eBay by Codisto	eBay	Order sync, price automation
CedCommerce	Amazon & eBay	Region-based sync, fulfillment mapping
LitCommerce	Multichannel	Syncs Shopify with Amazon, eBay, Etsy, etc.

💡 Shopify Marketplace Connect (formerly Codisto) is officially recommended and works natively within your Shopify dashboard.

🧩 Step 2: Set Up Your Amazon or eBay Seller Account

For Amazon:

Go to sellercentral.amazon.com
Choose Individual (per-sale fee) or Professional account
Submit business info, tax ID/VAT (especially for EU)

For eBay:

Sign up at ebay.com
Create eBay Seller Account
Connect to Payoneer/PayPal for payouts
Verify your identity and location

📌 Important: Use your business name and domain-based email for marketplace compliance and professionalism.

🛠 Step 3: Connect Shopify to Amazon/eBay

After installing the app (e.g., Shopify Marketplace Connect):

Authorize your Amazon/eBay account
Map your Shopify products to marketplace listings
Set:
- Titles & descriptions
- Prices (can differ from Shopify)
- Product categories and SKUs

✅ Inventory, pricing, and order status are synced in real-time.

⚙️ Step 4: Configure Order & Fulfillment Workflow

Dropshipping Considerations:

You are allowed to dropship on Amazon/eBay as long as you are the seller of record and packages do not show AliExpress branding.
Avoid long shipping times — choose DSers suppliers with local (US/EU) warehouses.

📦 Pro Tip: Use CJdropshipping or Spocket to fulfill orders on marketplaces with better shipping SLAs.

Configure Order Routing:

Choose whether marketplace orders are fulfilled by Shopify or directly through DSers/CJ
Enable tracking sync for customer transparency

🌍 Step 5: Set Up Marketplace Regions (EU & US)

Amazon:

Use Amazon Europe unified account to sell in UK, DE, FR, IT, ES
Set VAT info for each region (use Shopify VAT apps like Quaderno)

eBay:

Enable Global Shipping Program (GSP) to ship worldwide
Set pricing per region if needed

💡 Localizing your listings (language, pricing, shipping) improves conversion rates across regions.

🔐 Step 6: Stay Compliant with Marketplace Policies

Platform	Key Rules
Amazon	No AliExpress packaging or Chinese invoices. Use branded or neutral dropshipping.
eBay	Must provide accurate shipping times. Handle returns professionally.
Both	Include clear refund policy, use trackable shipping, respond to messages fast.

❗ Failure to comply may result in account suspension — choose reliable suppliers and fulfill on time.
