Hi all, just wanted to throw a recommendation to anyone that manages their own stock, picking/packing/shipping. In my old business we used Veeqo to manage it all and pay about £300pm, I'm no longer involved with that business and haven't used it for a while but just found out that Amazon has since acquired Veeqo and made it completely free. You can sync with all the popular ecommerce and marketplaces for free, manage your inventory and has a great warehouse picking app. They're trying to sell shipping labels now instead of the SaaS model but we were able to programme our own custom shipping method if you don't want to use their labels, not sure if it's still the case but might be worth checking it out for anyone looking to cut costs down. I'm building a new DTC brand and was evaluating the tech stack, couldn't believe they made this free, was literally the backbone of my old business. https://www.veeqo.com/

Whoa free inventory syncing sounds quite nice. (I use Etsy and Shopify and have a second store for Shopify wholesale)

Yeah, worked really well when I was using it. Going to implement this for my sisters store also, she's using Shopify and Etsy too. I believe you can also set the channel pricing too, so not just inventory syncing! 😉 You might be able to request an integration with Faire also, back in the day they were very open to integrations.

@David Just read their Fair Use Policy. "Sellers need to ship at least 50% of their online orders synced to Veeqo, excluding FBA and Retail POS orders, on a monthly basis with a shipping label purchased within Veeqo, either using our shipping rates or your own carrier rates." https://www.veeqo.com/fair-usage-policy

Always is!! 😆 I mean for anyone that's starting out or still on a small operation scale it's still a brilliant tool, I'm assuming the shipping labels would be at a competitive price anyways and for those that have their own carrier rates they can integrate and still use it for free.
