Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: retailers that sell on multiple marketplaces - eBay, Amazon, Walmart, ETSY, ... - all face the same challenge: content syndication. Solutions like the one in this link enable eCommerce platform - here shopify - to manage the products in a single place (shopify) then let the connector publish the content in multiple marketplaces (eBay, Amazon, ...). An essential component of any eCommerce strategy IMHO.

The impact of this technology on marketplaces is more difficult to assess however. Certainly having the ability to publish in 10s or 100s marketplaces at the push of a button will commoditize them. How will marketplace react? Raise fees for vendors that sell on other marketplaces? Reduce fees for "unique" product SKUs? What do you think?
