As part of an ecommerce build or replatforming project, the logical step for most businesses is to tie together your ecommerce store with other business systems within your organisation. This gives you a seamless flow of data between your website and any supporting systems such as accounting, ERP, CRM, WMS, OMS, stock management, fulfilment, payment service providers, marketplace channels and many more. tradeit's Integration Hub has been designed to deliver standardised and simplified two-way integrations helping to avoid the pitfalls of running multiple disparate systems and managing large amounts of data.

Reliable integration with Payment Service Providers is crucial for all online businesses. Ensuring that your customer’s transactions are handled efficiently and securely is paramount. An unreliable PSP connection can mean lost sales opportunities, missed revenue and directly impact on cash flow. tradeit is robustly pre-integrated with leading payment gateways, providing merchants with reliable payment processing and the flexibility to offer multiple payment methods, one click checkout options, store payment details using tokenisation, accept global payments and ensure that your payment processes comply with PCI.

Marketplaces
Expand your reach by selling on different marketplaces alongside your ecommerce channels. tradeit's marketplace management tools allow you to effectively and efficiently manage product data (including images), pricing, stock and orders through international marketplace channels such as Amazon. Share content between all of your ecommerce and marketplace channels avoiding the duplication of content and effort.
Report on the success of each marketplace channel and compare their performance with any of your other channels with tradeit's reporting tools.
Geolocation
For online retailers, understanding the location of their customers represents an opportunity to personalise the customer experience based on their geographic location. Cross border retailers can use customer IP data to automatically display the correct website for their territory, localised in the correct language and using the appropriate currency. tradeit can also use the longitude and latitude of a user's browser for accurately locating where they are and delivering localised content accordingly.
Address/Postcode Lookup
Incorrect delivery addresses cost online businesses a substantial amount of money and with this in mind Red’s tradeit ecommerce platform is pre-integrated with PCA Predict (formerly Postcode Anywhere). The postcode auto-fill and validation solution from PCA Predict not only makes the checkout process smoother for customers but merchants also benefit from the increased accuracy of the addresses captured.

These tools enable you to constantly monitor and optimise your ecommerce stores, helping to easily analyse user paths, conduct A/B and multivariate testing, monitor site traffic and report on generated revenue. tradeit is commonly integrated with tools such as Google Analytics and Optimizely but can be integrated with enhanced web analytics software such as IBM Customer Analytics.
