About ChannelBridge
ChannelBridge gives ecommerce teams a single workspace to publish, synchronise and monitor product listings across Amazon, eBay, Shopify, WooCommerce and Walmart. Connect channels, map attributes, and select SKUs to list. ChannelBridge builds compliant payloads, submits feeds, and reconciles responses so you always see current status.
Inventory and pricing stay aligned everywhere within minutes, with guardrails to prevent overselling and respect rate limits. Parent–child variants are fully supported, including size/colour options and category-specific requirements.
Errors are surfaced by channel with actionable messages, retry logic, and a safe outbound queue. Connectors are modular, so adding new marketplaces is straightforward without changing your catalog.
