5 benefits of an e-marketplace

The internet has facilitated many processes as time passes. One of them is purchases: we can buy products through the web and wait in the comfort of our homes or offices to reach directly our hands. The e-marketplaces allow us this.

An e-marketplace is that online space in which a company places its products and services at the disposal of its visitors so that they can acquire them through a payment system via the web. This type of business has certain advantages.

1. Positioning

Internet search engines, like Google, position your web page according to certain elements and algorithms. The e-marketplaces, in general, are among the first results.

2. Cost savings

The e-marketplaces do not charge you for hosting or electronic infrastructure. They hardly charge a commission or monthly fee for which the costs are significantly reduced.

3. Payment method

Not so much the customer to you but yours to the platform: the customer pays it and then it pays you, so you would not have to worry about paying the commission since the system automatically debits the payment.

4. Internationalization and shipping

Being on the internet, you are not limited to selling your products in your country only. Your client can be anywhere! In addition to this, the marketplaces have agreements with some shipping companies in general, so this helps a lot.

5. Proximity with other complementary vendors

The crosselling is to sell your product with another to make it more attractive so, when selling online, you can meet other sellers with whom to make an alliance.
