Marketplaces

The Marketplaces feature:

• Links your Miva Merchant store to other stores you have on eBay, Amazon, or Etsy.
• Lets you use your Miva Merchant store as a central location where you can manage listings, inventory, and orders for all of your stores.

These external stores have slightly different ways of doing things, so the way that your Miva Merchant store works with each is a little different too. However, the general process of working with Marketplaces is:

1. Install the Marketplaces module in the admin interface.
2. Link your Miva Merchant store to your external seller account.
3. Create product listings in the admin interface and upload them to your other store.
4. Download orders from your other stores and view/edit them in the admin interface.
