It’s 2025. The Amazon marketplace is more competitive than ever before. A seller, on Reddit, says, “Amazon is too competitive, everyone of my competitors is undercutting me massively!”. And this has been the collective sigh of hundreds of other Amazon sellers as well. As far as ecommerce is concerned, as per Statista Amazon has a 40% market share in the US. And as far as marketplaces are concerned, Amazon holds 80% market share in the US. Stats from Amazon itself show that US sellers sold 4.5 billion products in 2023. The result? Amazon businesses face new challenges that require innovative solutions. They can no longer use manual methods to process orders, manage inventories, reconcile payments and satisfy customers.
Sellers need speed, efficiency, and automation to stay ahead of the competition while maintaining profitability. Two-third of consumers interviewed by IBM echo the same sentiment – for them, the speed of a company’s response holds as much importance to them as the price of the products. This is where Amazon seller integration comes in. And the most cost effective and smart way of integrating Seller Central with other business software is by using an iPaaS solution. Gone are the days of custom APIs that would break everytime any of the platforms using the API was updated. Today, the demand for iPaaS is growing exponentially. A Gartner report reveals that the global iPaaS market share grew at a rate of 30.7% in 2023.
What Amazon Sellers Really Need in 2025: A Case Study on Amazon Seller Integration
Look at this interesting post on the Amazon Seller Forum:
The seller complains that another seller has copied their product and the latter is undercutting them. In reply, a member of the forum says, “If it’s just price, sure — there will always be someone cheaper. But most customers aren’t only buying on price. They’re thinking about what’s at stake.” On one hand, your product needs to be really good. On the other hand, you – as a seller need to have an efficient shipping and delivery posture.
As time goes on, Amazon sellers are intensifying competition with each other over prices. But it’s a race to the bottom if sellers constantly undercut each other on price . You – as the Amazon seller – must provide additional value to customers if you really want to keep your business sustainable. You have to be faster and more efficient.
Amazon Seller Challenges In 2025
- Amazon holds around 80% market share in the US
- There are too many sellers of each individual product. Thus, they experience cutthroat price wars.
- From the operations point of view, small and medium size retail businesses often depend on manual processes resulting in inefficiencies and customer dissatisfaction.
- Manual processes for inventory, order management, and customer service are no longer scalable.
- Sellers must adopt automation, integration, and faster fulfillment to stay competitive.
To sustain in the cut-throat scenario, Amazon sellers need to have the following in order:
Real-Time Data Sync:
Businesses having an integrated inventory for all of their sales channels need to use some kind of Amazon seller data integration with their inventory management platform. Else, each sales channel would require manual inventory updates before each sale in order to avoid stockouts. Businesses already using ERP or CRM to manage their operations need Amazon seller central integration with their ERP and CRM for a truly connected selling experience.
This is not just about inventory updates though. What happens if there is a change in product description for the product that you’ve been selling via multiple sales channels – including Amazon? What happens if you update the description elsewhere, but forget to update it on Amazon? This is a simplified example, but you can get the essence. This is where automated data sync becomes necessary.
Mini Case Study |
Before Big Bike Parts, USA implemented APPSeCONNECT, the business faced immense difficulties in managing a huge number of orders coming from their eBay store, Amazon store and their own platform. In their own words, it became an “administrative nightmare”. Figuring out who placed an order, where an order should be shipped, whether the price of the product sold through eBay matches with the one reported by the system – keeping track of all these manually became really cumbersome. There was just 10% to 20% of automation in place thanks to the ERP. All these changed when Big Bike Parts implemented our Amazon seller iPaaS integration. |
End-to-End Order Management
Manual order processing can take you so far. Once your business scales, the manual order management process becomes slow, error-prone, costly and unscalable. Automated order management processes become indispensable after a certain time. It can handle the entire lifecycle – from order receipt to shipping and invoicing – with minimal manual intervention. The result? Fast order fulfilment, automated inventory updates, and improved tracking along with a significant cost saving thanks to reduction in processing time and manual labour.
Scalability-Readiness
As businesses grow, they need scalable integration to integrate Seller Central with other parts of the operations. Amazon sellers need scalable solutions that can manage higher sales volumes and complex integration workflow – but not at the expense of performance.
Cost-Effective Order Processing Automation Solution
To compete against hundreds of other sellers selling the same product, Amazon sellers need to keep the operational cost of running their businesses as low as possible. Automation is the way forward to that end. And this is possible only with integration tools that require less technical overhead and lesser dependence on expensive developers.
Simplified Multi-Platform Integration
As businesses grow, Sellers start managing multiple ecommerce and offline sales channels. If they don’t integrate these channels, soon it will feel like each sales channel is an isolated island – a separate business altogether. To keep everything connected, Amazon seller iPaaS integration becomes indispensable. However, integrating Amazon Seller Central with multiple other sales channels, inventory and accounting software can lead to complexities. And complexities lead to developer-dependency along with costs spiralling out of hands. Businesses need a simplified integration platform that can perform all the heavy duties without overwhelming them.
The Problem: Many sellers struggle with manual workflows or rely on point-to-point integrations, which are time-consuming, error-prone, and inflexible. The need for a modern, user-friendly, and affordable integration solution is greater than ever.
Importance of Amazon Seller Integration:
- Real Time Data Sync: To send Amazon orders to the centralized ERP system, keep product info updated across all channels, provide real time shipping data to customers, manage inventory smartly and more.
- End-to-End Order Management: Automation reduces errors, costs, and processing time.
- Cost Reduction: Automation and streamlining processes result in reduced manual overheads. iPaaS-based integration further reduces technical overheads (compared to API based integrations).
- Multi-Platform Integration: iPaaS-based integration makes it easier for Amazon Sellers to integrate their dashboards with multiple platforms like ERP, CRM, shipping platform, other sales channels and more.
- Scalability: Integration makes your Amazon business scalability-ready. Handling higher sales volumes and complex workflows become easier.

- Consolidated Analytics
Similar to financial reporting, the Amazon seller iPaaS integration sends Amazon orders and sales data to the ERP system. It does the same with other systems used by the business. This consolidation of key insights enables real time data analytics and data driven decision making.
