Why Do Sellers Need a Listing Tool for Jet.com?

Currently there is no cost effective listing tool for Jet.com. Jet does not include a listing tool feature within their software for their sellers. With that being the case, Jet sellers have only two options for creating listings.

They can choose the more common option and delegate developers on their team, or hire outside developers to integrate with Jet’s API system. This can be costly and also time consuming to delegate your team to integrate with Jet. If you choose to find developers from outside to do the integration for your ecommerce site, it also is time consuming and will cost you a substantial amount to finish creating a listing tool for Jet.com that is compatible with your site and theirs. The second option you have is to go to the companies that Jet recommends as reliable companies to get you up and running on their site. Channel Advisor and CommerceHub are two of those companies that they highly support which both charge a huge amount for their services that immediately run you in to the thousands and lock you in to their services. If you use these companies there are more tools that they provide, but choosing them as a listing tool for Jet.com does not seem to be the best economical decision by any means.

Keep in mind that with both of these options you will incur more fees and time as you go along. Jet will continue to change and customize their platform which will force you to have to update your integration with them each time. However, a software tool allows you to sit back and not have to worry about those problems, as they will continue to update as Jet does.
