The Multi-Channel Maven: Eliminate Overselling and Scale Your D2C Brand

Are you losing customers and damaging your brand's reputation due to overselling? When you sell across your website and social channels, a sale on one platform can fail to update inventory on the others. This leads to cancelled orders, angry customers, wasted support time, and a constant fear of stockouts. This inventory chaos directly hurts your bottom line and prevents you from scaling confidently.

The Multi-Channel Maven Stack provides a powerful, synchronized ecosystem to conquer multi-channel sales. BigCommerce acts as your central command center, creating a single source of truth for your entire inventory. When a sale happens anywhere, ShipBob's real-time integration instantly updates stock levels across the board, preventing overselling before it can happen. Meanwhile, Buffer orchestrates your social media marketing, driving targeted traffic to your products, confident that the inventory displayed is always accurate. This stack transforms chaos into a scalable, efficient, and customer-pleasing sales machine.

  • Eliminate overselling and the associated cancelled orders and customer complaints.
  • Achieve real-time inventory accuracy across your website and social selling channels.
  • Boost customer satisfaction and loyalty with reliable stock information and fast fulfillment.

Integration Logic

  • Deliverr Connector for BigCommerce

    This integration creates a complete order processing and marketing loop. When a new order is placed in BigCommerce, it triggers two parallel actions: 1) A fulfillment order is created in ShipBob with all necessary customer and product details. 2) A new social media post, customized with order details, is added to your Buffer queue. Subsequently, when ShipBob fulfills and ships the order, the status and tracking information are automatically updated back in BigCommerce. The integration also continuously monitors inventory levels in ShipBob, updating the stock quantities in BigCommerce to prevent overselling.
