Providing the software infrastructure, many comparatively small marketplaces such as Catch Australia and Best Buy Canada have created their marketplace on Mirakl.

 

But what does that mean for eCommerce and retail businesses?

Creating niche marketplaces to target highly segmented markets allows you to grow your product base in your niche by bringing in third-party sellers, making your website a one-stop-shop for your customers.  

 

We’re one of the few platforms that integrate with Mirakl platforms, allowing more growing online businesses to jump on the marketplace bandwagon.

 

In an Amazon-dominated eCommerce world, Mirakl is a rising star aiming to become the niche marketplace king. Since launching in 2012, Mirakl has launched over 100 marketplaces in 35 countries on four continents, making online marketplaces a possibility for any online seller, not just big guys like Amazon.

 

What Mirakl promises B2C and B2B sellers:

  • Own your customers’ journey from beginning to end
  • Access to valuable customer data that makes building an omnichannel business possible while keeping overheads low
  • Building loyalty and growing your customer base to grow revenue and site traffic
