Why sell on Instagram

Instagram is no longer just about inspiration, but a genuine shopping channel – especially if your product is visually strong (fashion, beauty, home & living, sports, accessories). The deciding factor is not „more content,“ but a error-free, complete product catalog: Accurate variants, consistent attributes, appropriate images, and up-to-date availability. Channel Pilot Pro ensures that your catalog does not fall behind the data chaos.

With which tool can online retailers dynamically control prices?

What are your customers willing to pay? It’s never possible to say exactly, but you can narrow it down. On marketplaces and price comparison portals, buyers see your offers alongside those of your competitors. That’s why the competitive price is your most important reference point at all times. However, it changes constantly, and you can’t keep up with the constantly changing prices manually when you have large product ranges. That’s why online retailers use a tool that allows dynamic pricing: a so-called dynamic pricing software.

The best tools for your e-commerce business

For an online store, you need six types of tools: a shopping system, a retail management system, marketing (especially email), CRM, analytics, and a solution for product data and marketplaces.
