Summer has come and gone, and as we start preparing for the holiday e-commerce rush, we thought it was important to look back on the first half of 2022. We've been working tirelessly at Lengow to make sure you have everything you need to power your
Commerce Everywhere strategy and increase your sales. Here is our H1 2022 wrapped!
Summary
The most recent marketplace and marketing channel integrations
Marketplaces grew at twice the rate of ecommerce sales over the last year. In this new growth environment, brands and retailers must implement new market and customer acquisition strategies to thrive. In response to market trends and your expressed needs, the Lengow platform now enables you to target new key marketplaces:
To respond to your cross-border challenges and assist you in expanding your international footprint, we have strengthened our existing partnerships in core European markets and added new countries:
- SecretSales is now available in Belgium and the Netherlands ;
- Venca is available in Portugal :
- Maisons du Monde is available in Italy.
Our improved compatibility with
Zalando Fulfilment Services (ZFS)
now allows you to send shipping notice requests via the API, and track your products movements within the Zalando network. It is a true game changer because it allows you to save time and manage all of your orders on the Lengow centralised platform. More information about Zalando Fulfilment Services and our connector can be found here.
We have improved our existing Amazon partnership to make it easier for you to publish on
Amazon’s Shoes, Accessories and Luggage categories (Amazon Flat Files)
and have earned
Bol.com’s “Bronze Partner status”
, recognising our successful collaboration.
Furthermore, new European marketing channels such as
Varusök
(Swedish price comparison website)
, Liligo Flight
(flight search engine)
and
Wine Decider
(price comparison website for the Beverage industry), are now available on our platform.
New key partnerships
In order to build an ecosystem at the heart of your
Commerce Everywhere
strategy, we work with a growing number of partners and connectors:
- The new cartridge for Salesforce Commerce Cloud is now available. It allows you to synchronise your Salesforce Commerce Cloud data with Lengow, as well as optimise and publish your product catalogue in just a few clicks.

To provide you with the most recent versions of plugins for your ecommerce activities, we also continue to provide regular updates on
Shopify, Magento, Prestashop, Shopware
, and other CMS platforms.
