New ChannelAdvisor Complete Release - September 2008
Mon 22 Sep 2008 | Posted by Max Leisten under Search , ChannelAdvisor , Comparison Shopping , MarketplaceAdvisor
This past weekend we released several enhancements to our ChannelAdvisor Complete platform to give our customers new + improved functionality for selling products across online channels such as eBay, Amazon, Google, Shopping.com or Shopzilla (and we’ve added even more sites!).
Highlights include:
- New Marketplaces - ChannelAdvisor is proud to be the first multi-channel solution to support the new Pixmania (www.pixmania.com) and Trading Post (www.tradingpost.com.au) marketplaces. Pixmania is a fast-growing, pan-European shopping site owned by DSG International, one of Europe’s largest consumer electronics retailers, and offers online shoppers consumer electronics, home & garden, toys, jewelry and many other products. Trading Post is the leading classifieds site in Australia and now offers online retailers the opportunity to post auction-style listings on its site.
- eBay Fixed Price Relisting - We extended our relisting functionality to support the new eBay Multi-Quantity Fixed-Price listing format so that users in the US and UK can not only post with the new 30-Day Fixed-Price duration from MarketplaceAdvisor Premium but automatically relist to maximize sales history and Best Match ranking (if certain conditions are met).
- Search Account Synchronizer - We added options so that users have more control over how frequently we synchronize their SearchAdvisor account with Google, Yahoo, or MSN. We have also reduced the scheduled frequency of this synchronization and give you options to configure based on your needs.
- Search Bid Manager – We made some adjustments to our Bid Manager algorithm to account for some recent Google changes including last week’s rollout of its latest Quality Score improvement. The result is that we will continue to focus on making bid changes that are designed to achieve profitability goals.
- PriceGrabber Marketing Cost - ShoppingAdvisor users now have the option to receive and integrate marketing cost data into performance reports for the comparison shopping site PriceGrabber in the UK and US.
- StoreAdvisor Premium - We continue to enhance our new, full featured online storefront integrated into MarketplaceAdvisor Premium and added functionality to expand inventory management and synchronization. StoreAdvisor Premium users also now have the option to use the Webloyalty affiliate program in their checkout.
