ChannelEngine

ChannelEngine markets one platform for listings, orders, inventory and pricing across 1,300+ channels. It directly synchronizes product, stock, price and order data and reports 42% average first-year GMV growth as an aggregate vendor claim.

ChannelEngine says it began in 2013, is headquartered in Leiden, has nine offices, 220+ employees from 35+ nationalities, 1,300+ channels and 11M+ products sold continuously. Jorrit Steinz is CEO and founder.

Start, Grow and Scale packages cover up to 5/unlimited/unlimited channels, 15k/100k/500k SKUs and 1/3/5 environments. Commercial mechanics are onboarding fee, monthly license based on GMV/SKUs/business units/geography, and a success fee on incremental managed-channel GMV. Actual currency prices and percentages are not public.

Seller Hub directly syndicates content, publishes listings, applies price rules and dynamic repricing, synchronizes orders/returns/inventory, routes orders across locations, supports marketplace fulfillment, generates settlements and exposes analytics. AI category mapping requires users to accept or decline recommendations; AI bundling suggests bundles and generates supporting content.

Vendor Hub manages Amazon Vendor catalog, purchase-order workflows and recovery. Configured recovery detects claims and submits disputes automatically; ChannelEngine says average recovery is 70% of identified missing revenue and top vendors reach up to 90%.

ChannelEngine says ACP routes conversational-platform orders into merchant backends. Current AI features categorize products, map options, suggest bundles and generate attributes; strategy and decisions remain under human control.

The Channel API exchanges product data, price/stock offers, orders, shipments, cancellations and returns with acknowledgments and rate limits.

The Merchant API supports product content, bulk stock/price updates, orders, order documents, shipments, returns, cancellations, settlements and revenue targets.

Pricing v2 applies configured rules using shipping, marketplace fees, taxes, currencies and commissions; merchants set base and minimum prices by channel.

ChannelEngine distinguishes 3P, 1P, owned, affiliate/click-and-ad and feed channels. Full marketplace plugins can exchange products, orders, shipments and returns; affiliate channels generate feeds and redirect shoppers to the merchant site.

Channel integrations can submit and retrieve returns linked to shipped orders; the channel should poll every 15–30 minutes for status changes.

Merchant API v2 creates merchant returns, retrieves marketplace and marketplace-fulfilled returns, acknowledges them and marks receipt; older v2.1 refund endpoints are beta-only.

Insights is included in Scale or sold as an add-on and covers summary, orders, channel/product, availability, performance, returns, competition and Buy Box analysis.

ChannelEngine provides help center, customer portal, bot, ticket and regional phone support spanning Melbourne to New York business hours.

Tenant administrators can create/remove users and configure roles and permissions; MFA is supported.

ChannelEngine states SSO, MFA, roles, encryption, GDPR, HTTPS/API permissions, monitoring, incident response, privacy-by-design, retention controls, subprocessors and a DPA.

ChannelEngine.com B.V. is the Dutch controller. The policy covers order, invoice and delivery data, GDPR/CCPA, retention, subprocessors and data subject rights.

ChannelEngine announced a USD 50M Series B led by Atomico with General Catalyst, INKEF, Airbridge Equity Partners and Stephan Schambach, bringing total investment to USD 57M. It reported 450+ clients, 140+ employees and more than doubled revenue at that historical date.

Recovery Management identifies invoice shortages and price discrepancies, calculates recoverable amounts, submits single/bulk disputes or scheduled automated disputes to Amazon Vendor, tracks payments/support cases and produces reports.

The current audit page describes a few-minute account connection, vendor review and optional recovery work. Its anonymous premium-apparel proof reports EUR 75k recovered, 90% success and claims back to 2019, conflicting with the linked USD 100k case.

Partner-managed services can perform integration, strategy, content, advertising, logistics consulting, fulfillment design, pricing/promotions and customer service. These are human partner services, not native autonomous platform actions.

ChannelEngine lists 100+ agency, technology and fulfillment partners and describes ranking based on clients served, integration quality and training.

Custom Feed Builder applies smart import rules and exports transformed product information to channels, systems and partners.

Custom channels support product offers/content and feeds. The native custom-channel feature explicitly does not support orders, shipments, returns, repricing or fulfillment; click-and-ad channels publish feeds and redirect shoppers rather than operating campaigns.

The Amazon Vendor plugin covers India among supported markets and INR among currencies. Amazon controls the consumer retail price and fulfillment for retail-procurement inventory.

ChannelEngine and Akeneo announced a global PIM-marketplace integration for product information and marketplace operations.

The partner DPA identifies ChannelEngine.com B.V., Chamber of Commerce number 63350726, and requires GDPR-scoped processing under instructions.

The Channel API uses separate channel keys and test/production environments and supports product/offer acknowledgments, order posting, shipments, cancellations and returns.

The first success-story archive page lists 15 current stories from EQOM through Ridam.

The second archive page lists 15 stories from Chapter E through Rivièra Maison.

The third archive page lists Solis and Homeij, completing 32 canonical archive entries.

Merchants define rule-based product selections for inclusion/exclusion and can copy selections across marketplace countries.

The product workspace exposes active/inactive products, catalog attributes, filters, sub-tabs and product freezing.

Recovery roles can be read-only or full-access; add-recovery permission enables dispute creation while administrators retain full access.

ChannelEngine states 1,300 out-of-box channels; new marketplaces can use the Channel API and Channel Management API for two-way product, order, shipment, cancellation and return integration.
