The definition
What is marketplace integration?
Marketplace integration is the automated connection between your own systems and the marketplaces you sell on, so orders, stock, despatch and invoices move between them without anyone rekeying a thing.
Instead of logging into Amazon, eBay and every marketplace portal by hand, your systems and each channel exchange data directly. Transalis delivers this as a managed outcome: we connect the channels, translate the formats and watch every transaction for you. And the same connection reaches the UK’s grocery retailers, so you sell on the marketplaces and supply the supermarkets through a single point of access.
Connect once. Reach anyone. One integration, every channel, both worlds.
Where it breaks
Why is multichannel selling so much work?
Because most sellers are holding it together by hand. Three patterns show up again and again.
01
The portal tax.
A tab open for Amazon, another for eBay, a third for TikTok Shop, every order rekeyed into your ERP. It is the PDF trap in a new costume: slow, manual, and quietly expensive. One beverage supplier we work with was losing hundreds of hours a year to it, and making avoidable order errors along the way.
02
The headcount trap.
Every new marketplace becomes another person to run it. Growth turns into a hiring problem instead of a sales one.
03
The two-vendor split.
One system to sell on the marketplaces, a separate EDI provider to supply the supermarkets. Two integrations, two invoices, two things to break.
There is one connection for all of it.
The managed model
How does Transalis marketplace connectivity work?
Transalis runs on a managed-outcomes model. We handle the complexity (channel connection, format translation, monitoring, error resolution) so you get the result without running any software. At the centre sits the Transalis Business Network: 15,000+ organisations reachable through a single integration.
01
A marketplace order lands: Amazon, eBay, TikTok Shop, Mirakl and more.
02
Transalis translates it into your system’s format and routes it straight in.
03
Despatch and invoice data flow back out to the channel automatically, in the format that channel requires.
04
Transalis DataTrack™ watches every message in real time, and the managed team resolves issues before they touch your trading.
The same connection reaches Argos and the UK’s major supermarkets. Marketplaces and retail, in one pipe.
Channels
Every marketplace, one connection
Connect once and reach them all: Amazon, Shopify, eBay, Walmart Marketplace, TikTok Shop, Wayfair, Zalando, Mirakl and B&Q Marketplace, with new channels added to the network over time.

Amazon
Amazon, done right
Transalis is a certified Amazon Selling Partner. Whether you trade through Seller Central or supply as an Amazon Vendor, we automate the order, despatch and invoice flow and keep you compliant with Amazon’s requirements, managed end to end, with no in-house Amazon specialist required.
We would be happy to provide a few comments to you on the Transalis OpenEDI™ integration process with Amazon. It was a pleasure to work with their EDI team. The quick response to emails and quick turnaround of documents was greatly appreciated. Amazon expects vendors to be integrated within four weeks. Some take much longer than that. The integration of our suppliers takes just a few days from start to finish and includes AS2 testing which tends to take other vendors much longer. Even with having two to three test files per transaction before passing the Amazon validations, the speed at which the requested changes were made by Transalis, was very commendable.

FAQs
Marketplace connectivity, answered plainly
What is marketplace integration?
Marketplace integration is the automated connection between your systems and the marketplaces you sell on, so orders, stock, despatch and invoices move between them without manual handling. Transalis manages the whole flow for you, across every channel.
Can I sell on marketplaces and supply supermarkets from one system?
Yes. The Transalis Business Network reaches both the major online marketplaces and the UK’s grocery retailers through a single connection, so you don’t run one system for Amazon and a separate one for the supermarkets.
Which marketplaces can I connect to?
Amazon, Shopify, eBay, Walmart Marketplace, TikTok Shop, Wayfair, Zalando, Mirakl and B&Q Marketplace today, with more added to the network over time. Connect once and reach all of them.
How do I meet Amazon’s vendor requirements?
Transalis is a certified Amazon Selling Partner. We automate the order, despatch and invoice flow for both Seller Central and Amazon Vendor, and keep you compliant, no in-house Amazon expertise needed.
How much does marketplace connectivity cost?
Transalis works on predictable, fixed-cost packages, no per-order fees, no charge that grows every time you sell more. Your costs stay flat as your channels grow. Talk to us to map the right package.
What’s the difference between a channel manager and managed connectivity?
A channel manager is a dashboard your team logs into and runs. Managed connectivity is the outcome, run for you: Transalis connects the channels, handles the data and resolves the errors, so there’s no dashboard to operate.
Do I need to add staff to sell on more marketplaces?
No. Adding a channel doesn’t add operational load, because Transalis manages it. The network absorbs new marketplaces, so your team stays the same size as your reach grows.
How long does it take to add a new marketplace?
Days, not months. The managed team handles the connection, mapping and testing, so a new channel goes live without pulling your people off their day job.
Is it better to use APIs or EDI to connect a marketplace?
Both have their place, and you shouldn’t have to choose. Transalis orchestrates whichever a given channel needs (EDI, API or file) through one managed connection, so the right method runs under the bonnet without you managing it.
How is Transalis different from a standard channel-integration tool?
Most tools are software you run, and they stop at the marketplaces. Transalis is fully managed, and the same connection reaches the UK’s supermarkets as well as the marketplaces, with live business intelligence built in.
