Technically speaking, how does INMerch work?

INMerch looks like a retailer but is actually a marketplace.

To customers, INMerchis one unified destination to discover and buy 100% official merchandise from thousands of their favorite artists, but behind the scenes we’re actually a marketplace that makes partnerships to source authentic products from verified partners and then dropship them to fans.

INMerch partners with over 100 merch companies, labels, distributors and other retailers of physical products. These partnerships allow us to integrate into their systems, list their products on INMerch, distribute them to the millions of fans we reach each month, submit orders to them and then our partners dropship those products to the fans.

INMerch gets product listing information, images, inventory levels and other key information by integrating directly with ecommerce platforms (like Shopify and Magento), logistics providers, wholesalers, distributors and artists’ official stores.

INMerch then uses this data to list products on the INMerch platform and to our distribution partners.

When customers find something they want to buy orders take place on INMerch and are submitted via our integrations to be shipped by our partners.

This allows INMerch to remove the need for management to manually update listings, personally manage profiles and duplicate the work of creating product links across several channels.
