What is an eCommerce platform?

An eCommerce platform is a software solution that enables businesses to sell products or services online. It provides tools for product listings, checkout, payment processing, and customer communication.

eCommerce platforms in fulfillment

eCommerce platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, or Shopware form the starting point of the order journey. Seamless integration with fulfillment systems is key to ensuring that paid orders are automatically transmitted to warehouses for fast picking, packing, and shipping. With everstox, brands can connect their eCommerce platforms directly via API or plugin – enabling real-time data sync, inventory updates, and delivery tracking across all sales channels.

Example for an eCommerce platform

A D2C brand uses Shopify for its web shop. Once an order is placed, everstox automatically receives the order data, syncs inventory levels, and triggers fulfillment at the nearest warehouse.
