Description
Fashion catalogues that are marketplace-ready from the start
Tradebyte is a marketplace integrator for fashion and lifestyle brands. It adapts your catalogue to the specifications, sizes, categories and compliance rules of more than 90 European marketplaces, including Zalando and ABOUT YOU, and gives you one view of performance across channels.
Kontainer is where that catalogue is created and kept in order. With the two systems connected, the product data, size and colour variants, and approved images and videos you maintain in Kontainer PIM and DAM become the content Tradebyte publishes. Your team no longer prepares a separate set of files for every channel.
The result is a shorter path from finished photoshoot to live listing, and one version of every article, whichever marketplace the shopper sees it on.

Why?
Keep content and channels in sync, from shoot to shopper
Fashion moves in seasons and drops. Images are shot, re-shot and replaced while product data changes alongside them, and every change has to reach every channel. Tradebyte is built to handle that complexity on the marketplace side. Kontainer handles it on the content side.
With Kontainer as the single source of truth for product data and visuals, Tradebyte always works from the latest approved version. Merchandisers, e-commerce managers and creative teams share one library instead of passing files between inboxes and drives.
The same library can also feed your other channels, from your own webshop via the Shopify connector to B2B showrooms through Le New Black. Learn more about Kontainer for fashion brands.

FAQ
What does the Tradebyte integration with Kontainer do?
It connects the product data and approved images and videos you manage in Kontainer DAM & PIM with Tradebyte, so your catalogue can be published on marketplaces without rebuilding content for each channel.
Which marketplaces can I reach with Tradebyte?
Tradebyte connects fashion and lifestyle brands to more than 90 European marketplaces, including Zalando and ABOUT YOU. The channels you use depend on your agreement with Tradebyte. Kontainer supplies the content behind them.
Which data and files can be used from Kontainer?
Typically product names, descriptions, materials, categories, article numbers, barcodes, sizes, colours and the approved images and videos linked to each article. The exact scope is agreed during set-up.
Do we need a separate Tradebyte agreement?
Yes. Tradebyte is a separate platform with its own agreement. Kontainer provides the product content, while Tradebyte handles the marketplace connections and channel requirements.
How are colour and size variants handled?
Data and media are linked per style, colour and size in Kontainer, so each variant can be delivered with its own visuals and attributes.
Can we reuse the same content for our own webshop and other channels?
Yes. Because the content lives in one place, the same product data and images can also feed your webshop, wholesale platforms and other integrations from Kontainer.
What does the integration cost?
The effort depends on your data, your Tradebyte set-up and the scope you need, so the integration may involve costs. Contact us for a non-binding, tailored quote.
