What Challenges did Comave face?

Comave aimed to develop a vibrant and ethical marketplace, where its customers can explore a wide range of high-quality products and its vendors can able to make good profits.

As the number of vendors in its marketplace increases, many of these vendors also have accounts on Shopify.

For sellers managing more than one online store on different e-commerce platforms can be time-consuming.

This creates difficulties since products and orders must be separately managed on each online platform.

Therefore, Comave was looking for a solution that would allow its sellers to connect their Shopify accounts with Comave’s marketplace.

And synchronize products and orders between both platforms just like the POS outlets and online store.

To solve this challenge Comave contacted Webkul via UVdesk ticket support.
