System usage scenarios
You can use the BaseLinker system in various ways:
- as a central point for handling orders from all channels – you can handle orders from all marketplace platforms and online stores in one place (dispatch packages, generate invoices, send messages to customers, etc. – also automatically). You don’t need to have an external inventory or use the system’s inventory for this purpose;
- as a link between marketplace platforms and your online store – you can list products from the store’s inventory, and send orders from marketplaces directly to the store and handle them there;
- as a tool providing basic functionalities at the very beginning of your business development – if you don’t have a virtual inventory with product data for listing offers on marketplaces, you can use the BaseLinker Inventory. You can also issue invoices in the system without the need to integrate with an external online accounting system;
- in a dropshipping model – you just need to connect a wholesaler and a marketplace account;
- as a tool to expand your business to other sales channels – if you want to transfer, for example, offers from Allegro to other marketplace platforms;
- as a link between online stores and marketplace platforms and your ERP system;
- creating your own solutions based on the extensive BaseLinker API.
