A marketplace connection automatically links your shop or ERP database with marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, or OTTO Market. Product data, prices, stock levels, and orders are cleanly synchronized – for greater visibility, less manual effort, and scalable growth.

Once you want to serve multiple marketplaces, have a growing product range, or manual processes lead to errors and delays. Professional systems increase data quality, reach, visibility, and the likelihood of winning the Buy Box.

With Channel Pilot Pro, you can connect 180+ marketplaces, including major international platforms like Amazon, eBay, and Douglas. In addition, Channel Pilot Pro also supports country-specific marketplaces in various markets as well as specialized platforms—depending on your product range and target region, for example in the Home and Living or DIY sectors.

Yes. Channel Pilot Pro offers interfaces to many European and international marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, OTTO Market, Kaufland Global Marketplace, bol.com, Cdiscount, or Worten. New marketplaces can be integrated quickly – ideal for merchants looking to expand their business internationally.

Yes. Feeds for Meta, TikTok, Pinterest, and other platforms can be optimized, enriched, and automatically distributed.

You need a compatible shop, ERP, or PIM feed as well as an active marketplace account. Channel Pilot Pro checks the data quality, adds missing attributes, and ensures clean mapping for each marketplace.

Channel Pilot Pro offers a bidirectional marketplace connection. The integrated order management automatically synchronizes orders, returns, and inventory between the marketplace and your shop or ERP system. Using flexible data fields, you can exclude items from export or define inventory buffers.

That depends on the channel and your setup. If the integration is already pre-configured and your product data is complete, go-live can be achieved quickly. If channel-specific mapping, variant logic, mandatory fields, or tests with the channel are also required, the connection may take longer.

Yes. Category logic, requirements, and mapping rules are implemented automatically. Additionally, you intelligently control margins, handling costs, and channel strategies.

The costs depend on the number of marketplaces, the data volume, and the desired range of functions. Channel Pilot Pro offers transparent, modular pricing – with no hidden fees.

Primarily shopping-based and product-driven platforms: Google Shopping, social commerce and retail media channels, as well as all common marketplaces. The higher the quality of the data, the better the visibility and conversion.

Via the central platform of Channel Pilot Pro. Product data, prices, inventory, and order information are maintained once and automatically distributed to all connected marketplaces – synchronously, scalably, and across channels.

Channel Pilot Pro can be used with many popular shop systems. Via preconfigured shop plugins, you can quickly connect your webshop and then use features such as marketplace integrations, reporting, order handling, and dynamic pricing.

The connection typically works by default via a data feed export from your shop system. Once the technical connection is established, you can centrally analyze and optimize your product data to achieve more sales, higher margins, and better performance across your channels.

Examples of supported shop plugins include Magento Commerce, OXID eShop, PrestaShop, Shopware, Shopify, WooCommerce, and xt:Commerce.

Yes, that's possible. You can merge data from multiple sources, for example, product content from the PIM, inventory from the ERP, and transactional shop data.

The update or import interval depends on the selected plan and the technical connection. Depending on the plan, imports are possible every 180 minutes (Regular), every 60 minutes (Medium), or every 15 minutes (Large). In Enterprise setups, intervals of less than 15 minutes are also possible depending on the agreement. With API connections, updates can also be implemented with particular flexibility. You can find more information about our plans here.

Channel Pilot Pro is compatible with many common PIM systems, such as Akeneo, AtroPIM, inRiver, Perfion, Pimcore, or Plytix.

This way, content such as titles, attributes, categories, and variations can be prepared channel-specifically to best meet the requirements of the respective channels.

Depending on the system and use case, technical integration with Channel Pilot Pro is possible via plugin, API, or data feed. With plugins, you can quickly connect many shop systems. APIs allow you to flexibly connect individual setups and multiple data sources such as a shop, ERP, or PIM. Alternatively, the connection can also be made via structured data feeds that are exported from your system and imported into Channel Pilot Pro in order to then output the data in a channel-specific manner.

For all relevant e-commerce channels: Marketplaces, Price comparison websites, Social Ads, Google Shopping and all connected feeds.

Via pre-built interfaces and structured product data feeds. Channel Pilot Pro handles attribute mapping, exports your data automatically, and reliably syncs orders back to your shop or ERP system.

We recommend focusing on marketplaces that align with your target audience and product range. We differentiate between generalists such as Amazon, eBay, and OTTO, and specialists like Conrad, Zalando, or OBI. During onboarding, our marketplace experts will work with you to determine which platforms offer the greatest leverage.

No. The AI Category Mapping from Channel Pilot Pro automatically assigns your existing categories to the appropriate marketplace taxonomies. If fine-tuning is necessary, you can make manual adjustments at any time.

Through better product data, automated processes, and clear performance transparency across all channels. Your budget works more efficiently and with less risk.

It pays off as soon as assortments grow, rejections increase, campaigns don't perform despite traffic, or multiple channels are managed in parallel. Optimization is also crucial for large catalogs because it brings a scalable structure to complex data.

Yes. The platform is suitable for companies of all sizes – from growing teams to complex enterprise structures. Management, marketing, and IT all benefit from clear KPIs, stable processes, and high scalability.

Minimal. Channel Pilot Pro connects smoothly with your existing systems. Your team saves time from day one.

Our prices are based on your setup and the scope of services desired – for example, data situation (shop/ERP/PIM), channel mix (marketplaces/countries/feeds), level of integration (listing only vs. including order return), and process complexity. You will receive a clear recommendation for your package during our discussion.

You start with a package and have Marketplace integrations, Feed Management and Dynamic Pricing directly included. Which channels are included and how they are billed depends on the chosen scope – we will clarify this transparently in advance.

Starting is possible in a few days. Onboarding is partially or fully included depending on the package.

Yes. You can book a personal demo and get to know the system with real use cases.

That depends on the package and the agreed-upon scope. We'll transparently discuss the duration in the quote before you decide.

Prices vary based on features, number of channels, and catalog size. Models range from usage-based rates to package pricing. Costs are usually recouped quickly through fewer rejections and better performance.

The costs depend on the respective package and scope of functions. You only pay for the modules you use.

Yes. You can upgrade or switch between plans at any time – without any contract interruption or downtime.

Additional costs typically only arise if your setup has special requirements (e.g., additional marketplace connections, specific integration levels, individual onboarding). You will receive transparency in advance about what is included – and what is optional.

The scope of support is determined by package and need – from reliable standard support to more intensive guidance for complex setups. Important: You get clear responsibilities and a predictable process.

All AI optimizations for product data, rules, and error detection are included. Usage limits depend on your chosen package.

The data is automatically analyzed, structured, and enriched. Rules and AI functions supplement missing information, detect errors, and ensure consistent, channel-specific content. Changes can be rolled out centrally and scalably for all products.

Product data optimization improves the content of your data – e.g., titles, attributes, categories, and quality. Feed management controls the distribution of this data across various channels. Both are related but fulfill different tasks.

The platform shows you channel by channel which products are working – and why. Errors, opportunities, and potential are automatically identified, clearly explained, and can be optimized directly.

AI recognizes patterns, completes missing attributes, suggests optimizations, and checks data quality. It is particularly helpful for large assortments to provide standardized, complete, and consistent product information more quickly and efficiently.

Typical signs include: products are not displayed correctly or at all, campaigns generate traffic without sales, rejections occur, or visibility remains low despite demand. These symptoms indicate missing, incorrect, or incomplete product data.

Yes, but only manually. With particularly broad product ranges or frequent changes, this quickly becomes complex, error-prone, and hardly scalable. Product data optimization via Channel Pilot Pro enables structured rules, automation, and consistent quality across all channels.

Optimized product data increases the relevance of your ads and performance. Platforms can match products more precisely, which improves ad delivery, reduces rejections, and boosts clicks and conversion rates. This directly impacts your ROAS and overall performance positively.

Crucial are all the information platforms and customers need for correct assignment: titles, attributes, categories, variants, images, and structured descriptions. They determine how well products are understood, displayed, and rated—and thus directly how visible and relevant they are.

No. The platform processes data externally and integrates cleanly via APIs. Your systems remain lean, unburdened, and only need to handle minimal traffic.

Yes. Shops, PIM, ERP, and other sources can be combined, prioritized, and automatically matched – without custom ETL scripting.

Yes. Millions of SKUs, high update frequencies, and complex catalogs are processed stably and with high performance – even under increasing load.

Yes. You edit titles, attributes, prices, and availabilities directly in the tool – no tickets, no waiting times, no risk to other systems.

Errors are automatically detected, clearly typed, and corrected directly when possible. Logs and alerts make causes transparent and facilitate quick responses.

Yes. You can merge, prioritize, and automate adjustments for multiple feeds—without technical complexity.

The connection is standardized, documented, and prepared for common systems. Mappings, validations, and data models are pre-configured and quick to implement.

Yes. The platform is designed for high data volumes, whether you're managing 10,000 or several million SKUs. Analyses remain fast, stable, and precise.

Yes. Optimized product data will be automatically transferred to all connected channels – including Marketplaces, advertising channels and Price comparison portals.

Yes. With templates, automated mappings, and predefined rules, new channels can be deployed in minutes instead of days or weeks.

Feed Management refers to the systematic preparation, optimization, and distribution of product data to various sales channels. The goal is to ensure that each channel receives complete, correct, and relevant product information.

Feed quality impacts visibility, ad serving, and campaign performance. Incorrect or incomplete product data leads to rejections, poor reach, and unnecessary costs. Good feed management avoids these problems and improves results.

A good tool offers: automation, clear error detection, channel-specific optimization, flexible rules, real-time updates, scalability, and stable system performance. It should integrate seamlessly with existing systems.

This includes: automatic data import, data cleansing, attribute mapping for each channel, optimization of titles and attributes, exclusion rules, quality controls, and regular updates. Modern tools automate these steps.

A product feed is a structured file with product information such as title, description, price, availability, variants, images, and identifiers (e.g., GTIN, brand). Channels like Google Shopping or marketplaces use this data to display products correctly.

Regularly, ideally several times a day. Dynamic assortments require more frequent updates, especially for price and stock changes. Modern tools update data almost in real-time.

Common errors include missing or contradictory attributes, outdated prices and stock levels, unclear titles, incorrect categories, and incomplete variant information. These lead to rejections and poor performance.

Data is imported from the shop, PIM, or ERP, normalized, and processed with channel-specific rules. Subsequently, it is distributed to the platforms and continuously updated. Errors are automatically detected and can be corrected directly.

Errors are automatically detected, prioritized, and—when possible—fixed directly. Critical issues are clearly explained so you can react quickly.

Currently in:

• Formula Generator
• AI-powered category mapping
• Title and Attribute Optimizations
• Data quality analyses
• Support for developing new product ranges

Further modules will follow step by step.

The AI is fully integrated Feed Management, Marketplace Integration and Dynamic Pricing embedded. This allows you to optimize not just data in isolation, but to benefit from a continuous data flow: from enrichment to category mapping to marketplace distribution.

The AI identifies missing, incomplete, or contradictory fields and generates suggestions for optimization – for example, for titles, attributes, bullet points, or variant logic. Data quality increases significantly faster and more sustainably, especially with large catalogs.

The AI Formula Generator translates simple prompts into immediately usable optimization rules. You describe what you need – for example, new titles, attribute enrichments, or if-else logic – and the AI directly generates the appropriate rule structure from it. You can adjust or refine the result at any time.

When performing category mapping, you link your internal product categories to the categories of the respective target channel. You can accept suggested mappings or define them manually, define rules for entire category trees, and then automatically apply the mappings to your product exports – so that your products land in the correct category in the channel.

AI recognizes patterns, deviations, and potentials faster than manual analysis. You receive clear recommendations on which products to optimize, prioritize, or scale back.

The AI recognizes structure-relevant features in the product catalog and automatically suggests suitable categories for each marketplace. This reduces manual assignment, minimizes errors, and speeds up the onboarding of new product ranges.

Yes, always. AI results are suggestions that you can edit, override, or refine like any other rule, attribute, or data adjustment.

Yes. Channel Pilot Pro is continuously expanding its AI modules – particularly towards automated enrichment, smart error detection, attribute completion, and channel-based optimizations.

No. The existing AI features are included in the regular feature set. There are no additional costs.

No. The AI functions are designed for you to use them flexibly and without limitation in your daily business, even with large catalogs.

No. All optimizations are also possible manually or through classic rule sets. AI is a supplement, not a prerequisite.

Dynamic pricing means that prices are automatically adjusted based on market, competition, and margin targets. The software analyzes data in real time and implements pricing rules without manual intervention.

Market price tracking immediately shows you how your products stack up against the competition. You'll identify opportunities, react to price changes, and manage campaigns accordingly.

Channel Pilot Pro delivers market price data via the integrated market price analysis. You see current prices, price histories, and offer changes of your competitors in real time.

For retailers with dynamic assortments, high competition, many channels, or large catalogs. The larger the market, the stronger the effect.

Yes. Channel Pilot Pro is designed for large volumes of data and can stably manage hundreds of thousands to millions of SKUs.

The software processes competitive data, demand signals, margin targets, inventory, lead times, channel fees, and proprietary product data.

Prices can be updated by the minute, depending on the channel and data source. This allows you to react to market changes faster than with manual processes.

No. Price logics are executed automatically. You define rules or use AI-powered formulas, and the software adjusts your prices independently.

Alert functions automatically notify you via email as soon as defined thresholds are exceeded or fallen below. This allows you to recognize market movements immediately.

Yes. Automated price adjustments are allowed as long as no prohibited price fixing occurs. The software operates in full compliance with regulations.

Yes. Language versions, country-specific requirements, and channel-specific taxonomies are automatically considered and can be individually adapted.

No. Channel Pilot Pro bundles all relevant signals into one system. You see performance, data quality, and error sources without additional evaluations or manual reports.

Through clean product data, automatic feed optimization, and smart rules that apply in real-time. Errors, missing attributes, or unsuitable titles are automatically corrected—for better relevance and more impressions.

Yes. Dynamic pricing can also be beneficial for small online shops to remain competitive and strategically optimize margins, provided it is implemented strategically and with clear rules. It's important not to make price fluctuations too frequent or too drastic in order to avoid jeopardizing trust and brand perception.
