The Marketplace Connector runs on Google Cloud Platform, providing enterprise performance and scalability, making it easily portable to most major cloud infrastructure providers. It offers a wide range of benefits and features, including:

• Unified platform to manage both the Mirakl Marketplace Platform and the commercetools ecommerce front-end.
• Event-driven approach in a serverless architecture.
• Quick and easy installation without any interruption to existing storefronts.
• Lower cost of development, saving thousands of hours over a custom integration.
• Faster go-to-market: Pre-built connections across catalog management, checkout, and order management, generating revenue more quickly.

“Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Etsy, and other marketplaces have shown that marketplaces can disrupt industries and connect sellers of all sizes with potential buyers around the world,” said Tom McFadyen, CEO of McFadyen Digital. “We developed The Marketplace Connector to easily integrate these powerful platforms in order to give that same power to every business, getting them to market faster, with better integration and management quality, and at a far more manageable cost.”

McFadyen formed a strategic partnership with Mirakl in 2017 to deliver accelerated marketplace solutions and identify innovative ways to benefit their mutual customers, partnering with commercetools more recently to offer a composable, headless ecommerce option to enterprises. Developing this pre-built integration between commercetools and Mirakl is a natural evolution of these close partnerships.

“For organizations seeking to launch an online marketplace, the power of the Mirakl platform perfectly complements the headless flexibility of the commercetools commerce platform and McFadyen’s Marketplace Connector provides for a seamless integration,” commented Kelly Goetsch, Chief Product Officer for commercetools.
