What Is an eCommerce Marketplace?
Online marketplaces and enterprise marketplaces are digital commerce platforms that showcase products from multiple vendors or sellers. Your brand can sell your own products with the option of featuring third-party products.
According to a consumer survey by emarketer, about half of all searches start on marketplaces.
When done right, eCommerce Marketplaces, especially those that support a third-party model, take user experience a notch above traditional digital commerce avenues. Not only are consumers able to save a trip to a physical store, but now they have a one-stop shop to compare similar products and can avoid toggling from site to site. eCommerce marketplaces’ usability, convenience, and accessibility continues to attract shoppers – presenting an opportunity for brands like yours.
