Analytics and profitability tools for sellers on multiple marketplaces
A store selling on multiple marketplaces sells the same product under different commission, shipping and competitive conditions. That is why a channel-based price and profit table is needed instead of a single price list. Hermes monitors price and ranking movements across channels, ProfitPulse shows net profit by product. The decision is made at the intersection of the two.
The real problem in multi-channel selling is not price but comparability
When you sell the same product on Trendyol, Hepsiburada and Amazon Turkey, you are in three separate competitive environments. Commission rates, shipping models, showcase rules and search ranking all work differently. Copying a single list price to three channels usually means setting a wrong price on all three.
For comparability you need to see three things in the same format: the product's price position within each channel, competitors' price movements, and the net profit left after channel costs are deducted. Hermes the first two, ProfitPulse takes on the third.
Channel-based profitability: same product, different result
A product can be profitable on one channel and lose money on another. Commission depends on category and channel, shipping agreements differ, and advertising cost depends on competition intensity. ProfitPulse, after commission, shipping and advertising, shows product-level net profit, so you can tell apart channels with large revenue but small profit.
Once you see the difference, the decision simplifies: some products stay on every channel, others are listed only on the channel where they are profitable. To test the math quickly, use the and profit margin calculator and Commission calculation tools.
What single-panel monitoring solves and what it does not
A single panel means the channels sit side by side on the same metric. Within Hermes, Marketplace Comparison Dashboard gives a channel-by-channel price and ranking table; SeoScope tracks daily ranking separately on Google and within the marketplace's internal search.
This panel solves visibility, not operations. Stock consistency across channels and the returns flow are a separate operational topic; for the general framework, see the stock synchronization and returns management articles.
How to do it step by step?
1. Simplify the list per channel
Separate the products that actually sell on each channel. You do not have to work with the same catalog on three channels; a focused core list makes both monitoring and pricing decisions more accurate.
2. Set up the cost table by channel breakdown
Commission, shipping, advertising and return rate vary by channel. Define these items ProfitPulse separately, so the net profit of the same product appears by channel.
3. Keep a separate competitor list for each channel
A seller who is your competitor on Trendyol may not appear to you on Hepsiburada. Build a separate list per channel using Hermes Competitor Analytics; do not copy the same list.
4. Tie alerts to a meaningful threshold
Not every single-cent move should be a notification. Set a percentage threshold for Instant Price Change Alerts; scan frequency is hourly or daily depending on the subscription.
5. Run a comparison round once a week
With the Comparison Board SeoScope read the ranking curve together. Make the price decision only after seeing the profit table.
6. Apply the decision from the channel panel
Hermes measures and alerts, but does not change prices automatically. You make the update yourself; this separation prevents erroneous bulk updates during campaign periods.
Where the data comes from in multi-channel questions
| Question | Source | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Did the competitor's price change today? | Hermes price change alerts | There is a delay equal to the scan interval; it is not real-time |
| Which channel am I ranked higher on? | Hermes ranking tracking and SeoScope | Ranking varies by search term and by day |
| Which channel is this product profitable on? | ProfitPulse net profit report | Only as accurate as the cost data you enter |
| How many units did a competitor sell of this product? | No external tool | Sales volume and revenue are the competitor's internal data and cannot be seen from outside |
| What is the competitor's purchase cost? | No external tool | Supply and agreement terms are not public |
| Where is demand going in the category? | Hermes Category-Based Demand Forecast | It is a forecast; campaign and out-of-stock periods create deviations |
Common mistakes
1. Copying the same price to all three channels at once. Because commission and shipping terms differ, the same price produces different profit on each channel, sometimes a loss.
2. Mistaking revenue for channel performance. The channel with the highest revenue may not be the one that earns the most profit; decisions should be made on net profit.
3. Keeping the competitor list the same across channels. The set of sellers you compete with differs on each marketplace; watching the wrong competitor leads to the wrong price.
4. Setting the alert threshold too low. A team that keeps receiving constant notifications stops looking at them and misses the real price breakdown.
Limitations: what does it not cover?
Applying these with awareness lets you set realistic expectations:
Competitors' sales volume, revenue and profit margin cannot be seen. This data sits in the internal records of the marketplace and the seller. No external monitoring tool can provide it; any tool that claims to is generating estimates.
Hermes does not change prices automatically. It measures and alerts. You apply the update from the channel panel; the decision stays with your team.
Tracking is not real-time. Hourly or daily scans are run depending on the subscription level. Very short-lived price moves may fall between two scans.
Stock and order operations across channels are outside the scope of these tools. The modules work on monitoring, profitability, content and visuals; your warehouse and order flow stay in your own system.
Profit calculation depends on input quality. If purchase cost, shipping agreement and advertising expense are entered incompletely, the output will be incomplete too.
Frequently asked questions
Can I monitor three marketplaces from one panel?
Yes. Hermes The Marketplace Comparison Board shows price, ranking and campaign movements on Trendyol, Hepsiburada and Amazon Turkey in the same table. It monitors; you apply the price update yourself.

It is right if the cost structure differs. First convert the commission and shipping burden of each channel ProfitPulse into net profit, then set the price from that table.
Do you offer stock synchronization?
No. Stock consistency across channels is a real need, but it is not within the scope of Gods Of Sale modules. For an overview of the topic, read this guide is worth a look.
How do I know which channel is profitable?

Doing it with the tool
