Selling on Marketplaces? Start Your Own Store
Build a store that puts your brand, customers and growth in your hands.
Marketplaces can be a useful place to start selling, but your business still operates within their fees, policies and customer experience.
With your own Idiocom store, you can create a branded ecommerce presence of your own while continuing to sell through marketplaces and other channels if they work for your business.
Give Your Brand Its Own Home
On a marketplace, customers often discover the product before they remember the seller behind it.
Your own store gives customers a place to experience your brand, your products and your way of doing business.
You can control your storefront, product presentation, pricing, offers and customer journey without depending entirely on the rules of a third-party marketplace.
Sell Directly with 0% Idiocom Commission
Orders placed directly through your Idiocom store come with 0% Idiocom sales commission.
That means you can build a direct sales channel for your business without paying Idiocom a percentage of every order you receive through your own store.
You still remain free to use marketplaces where they make sense for your business.
Bring Your Existing Products with You
Already have a large marketplace catalogue?
You don’t have to add every product again manually. Export your available product data and use Idiocom’s Bulk Upload feature to bring multiple products into your store at once.

This gives you a faster starting point for building your own storefront around products you’re already selling.
Go Beyond the Marketplace
Once your store is set up, Idiocom gives you more ways to help customers discover your business.
You can work on your store’s SEO, connect supported shopping and social channels and use Idiocom’s built-in tools to grow visibility around your own brand.
Your marketplace can remain one place where you sell. Your Idiocom store becomes the place where your brand belongs.
