Shopify announced Thursday that its merchants can now sell products to consumers via a new eBay sales channel.
The integration will allow users of Shopify’s e-commerce platform to sync their inventory and sell their products on eBay directly from their Shopify accounts. Customer service and order fulfillment services are also available from a centralized location within the Shopify platform.
Shopify offers similar integrated sales channels through Amazon, BuzzFeed, Facebook, Pinterest, Facebook Messenger. Shopify said more than 60 percent of its merchants sell in two or more channels.
