ChannelEngine is a Dutch marketplace integration platform that connects brands and retailers to more than 1,300 marketplaces and sales channels worldwide, from European marketplaces to shopping apps and retail media. With ready-made connectors for systems such as Shopify, Adobe Commerce, SAP, Microsoft Business Central and NetSuite, the platform primarily targets larger brands and international enterprise organisations that want to roll out an existing catalogue to marketplaces at scale.
According to its own website, ChannelEngine's pricing consists of a monthly licence based on, among other things, your marketplace revenue (GMV), SKU count and regions, plus a success fee on the growth of your marketplace revenue. That scales with large organisations — but it also means your costs grow with your revenue.
Credit where it is due: if you are a large brand expanding to dozens of international marketplaces at once — including Amazon and channels outside Europe — ChannelEngine is a logical candidate. The breadth of channels and the enterprise ERP connectors are impressive, and the platform has a proven track record with large catalogues and international expansion.
StoreLinkr is built for retailers and web stores that want to automate their entire operation — including the buying side — rather than only pushing an existing catalogue to marketplaces. Where ChannelEngine assumes your product data is already complete somewhere, StoreLinkr builds your assortment from your wholesalers, suppliers and POS system. Think of integrations with Kruitbosch, Wilmar, Everspring, Shots and CycleSoftware: products, stock and purchase prices flow in automatically, and dropshipping orders flow back to your supplier automatically, including track & trace.
On top of that, our plugins publish straight to your own store on WordPress/WooCommerce, Shopify or SitePack, AI enrichment upgrades your product content, and you sell on European marketplaces such as Bol, Kaufland, eBay, Allegro and Books in Belgium. Oversell protection prevents double sales, and purchase advice tells you when to reorder.
And the pricing model? A fixed, public monthly price based on your monthly order volume, starting at €69. Products and SKUs are unlimited on every plan — you never pay more because your catalogue grows. No percentage of your revenue, no success fee. You know exactly where you stand, even when your revenue doubles.
Are you an international brand with its own data team, expanding to hundreds of marketplaces worldwide including Amazon? Then ChannelEngine is worth considering. Are you a retailer or web store in the Benelux or DACH region that buys from wholesalers, runs a store on WooCommerce, Shopify or SitePack and wants to sell on European marketplaces — without revenue-based fees and with personal onboarding? Then StoreLinkr was built for you. Try it yourself or book a demo; your integration is typically live within minutes.
Great integration with StoreLinkr for our Dutch Light Trading BV WP website to manage and publish items. Requests and adjustments were handled smoothly. The attractive layout and clear interface make working with StoreLinkr easy.
We've had a Storelinkr integration between our POS and inventory system for a few weeks now. What used to take months to put an annual catalog online in one webshop now only takes a few weeks. After installing the plugin, the response to minor changes, bugs, or issues has always been very quick and helpful. As a result, the system is constantly improving, getting faster, and smarter. I'm extremely satisfied!
Works perfectly, saves time and a lot of hassle. Highly recommended! Good job guys!
