The IXXO Connect functionality allows a mall owner to advertise and sell products from individual vendors by offering product feeds, that can be imported to up-sell products at other sites.
Depending on the level of integration, the mall owner can offer product feeds or even offer individual shops where customers can sell products offered by mall vendors.
Customers can import products from the partner’s mall and up-sell them on their own shop.
IXXO Connect also allows the mall owner to create Connect Groups, that are used to sell customers subscriptions to individual customer shops through the IXXO Connect Partner Program.
These customer shops are “independent” from the mall itself and can be setup for a different domain.
They expand the functionality offered by the product feed import, export and data feed features with a partner program for shops.
Please note:To offer IXXO Connect Group subscriptions a mall owner must sign up and be approved as an IXXO Connect Partner first.
The IXXO Connect Partner Program requires the setup of the IXXO Connect Center software on a dedicated server. The IXXO Connect Center software is then used to manage and distribute shop installations.
Shops created through the IXXO Connect Partner Program are individual shops, managed by an IXXO Partner, but run by the customers themselves.
