Focus On Your Marketplace Success Instead Of Data
With Kala, Marketplace Operators don't have to deal with KYC validation, onboarding or maintaining product and merchant data, or suffer the costs of storing all of that data. Simply install Kala and you can start selling high-quality products from any Kala merchant or brand.
Buy Local, Scaled Globally
Kala is the only solution that powers Marketplaces to support consumers who want to buy local. As a Marketplace or brand, you'll help support local communities and deliver products faster. As a merchant, you'll gain new local customers online, while providing them with pick-up in-store or quick local delivery.
How it works
SIMPLE INTEGRATION
Kala's pre-built integrations allow marketplaces to quickly and easily add buy-local functionality to their site while maintaining their own branding. Simply choose from our template design options and install a simple JavaScript code snippet to complete installation and start selling locally!
A SEAMLESS EXPERIENCE
Once enabled, Kala's integrated module allows sites to choose which local sellers and products you want to support. Customers can easily shop for local products on your site, and with Kala's powerful AI-based product mapping tool, sites can use the same category and attribute taxonomy structure already in place for a seamless user experience.
Merchant And Brand Manager
Sell Your Products Everywhere, Seamlessly
List your products on Kala's network of eCommerce sites, without the hassles of managing each of them. With one simple feed to Kala, your products will gain exposure to B2C and B2B customers across sites, with easy order management and new options to drive sales to local consumers and businesses.
Order Management
Kala can interface to your existing order management system through Kala's API, or you can use Kala's Order Management system to receive and process orders, and to send status updates to the Operator so they can keep customers updated.
Data Management
Provide your data to Kala through a single feed instead of having to manage an array of eCommerce sites. Receiving orders and providing status updates is also simplified with Kala. And, onboarding to marketplaces and sites is automated - no mapping, contracts, or integrations.
Retain Control
You provide your products, pricing and inventory to Kala, and the sites that offer your products represent them exactly as they are stored in Kala. You can block sites from offering your products if you choose, and can offer promotions that are immediately represented everywhere your products are sold.
Customer Reach
Immediately gain access to an infinite number of new customers by offering your products through an entire network of marketplaces, online sites and social media stores, and increase your product exposure and sales on those sites.
