EffectConnect is a Dutch marketplace integrator for brands and retailers scaling their sales through European marketplaces. The platform connects your assortment to more than 50 European marketplaces — including Bol, Amazon and Kaufland — and automates product listing, stock updates and order processing. Orders from all your channels arrive in one place, including returns and fulfilment, and flow through to your own back office or ERP system.
According to its own website, EffectConnect also offers smart automation rules (think order routing, label processing and status updates), a repricer with complex calculations designed to win the buy box profitably, statistics and analysis dashboards, and a retail media dashboard for campaigns on Bol, for example. Pricing is bespoke: EffectConnect does not publish a fixed price list but, in its own words, prepares a quote that fits your situation, so you only pay for what you use.
Credit where it is due: if your growth runs entirely through marketplaces, EffectConnect has a strong proposition. More than 50 European marketplace connections — including Amazon, for which StoreLinkr's integration is still in beta — a buy box repricer with sophisticated calculations, automation rules for order routing and labels, and a retail media dashboard for your campaigns on channels such as Bol. For pure marketplace sellers with serious volume, that is a mature, proven toolkit — including, according to their website, real-time stock updates across multiple warehouse locations.
StoreLinkr looks beyond marketplaces alone: it automates your entire retail operation, from purchasing to selling. Where EffectConnect assumes your product data is already complete somewhere, StoreLinkr builds your assortment from your wholesalers and suppliers — think Kruitbosch, Wilmar, Everspring, Shots and Van der Meer — and from your POS system (CycleSoftware), PIM (Skwirrel) or warehouse software (Picqer, Stockhub). Products, stock and purchase prices flow in automatically, AI enrichment upgrades your product content, and dropshipping orders flow back to your supplier automatically, including a track & trace loop.
Your own web store is a first-class sales channel too: our plugins publish straight to WordPress/WooCommerce, Shopify or SitePack. On top of that, you sell on European marketplaces such as Bol, Kaufland, eBay, Allegro and Books in Belgium, and generate product feeds for Google Merchant Center, Meta, Bing and TikTok. Oversell protection prevents double sales, inventory forecasting and purchase advice tell you when to reorder, and accounting integrations with Exact Online and Jortt keep your books in sync. For custom work there is a REST API with webhooks.
And the pricing model? A fixed monthly price based on your order volume (from €69) with public pricing on our website, and unlimited products and SKUs on every plan. No quoting process, no revenue fee. You know exactly where you stand upfront — and with personal onboarding, no technical knowledge is needed.
Do you sell almost exclusively through marketplaces, is Amazon a key channel, and do you want to work seriously with buy box strategies and retail media? Then EffectConnect is a logical candidate. Do you buy from wholesalers or dropshipping suppliers, run your own store on WooCommerce, Shopify or SitePack, want to bring your physical store and POS along, and are you also looking for automation on the purchasing side — with transparent, fixed monthly pricing instead of a tailored quote? 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!
