ChannelAdvisor was a multichannel e-commerce platform that helped brands and retailers list products, manage inventory and orders, and run marketplace ads on channels such as eBay, Amazon, Walmart and Google Shopping. CommerceHub completed its acquisition of ChannelAdvisor in November 2022. On December 12, 2023, CommerceHub, ChannelAdvisor and Dsco were combined under a new name, Rithum, and the channeladvisor.com domain now redirects to rithum.com. The ChannelAdvisor platform still runs as part of Rithum's offering for brands, with its own login at complete.channeladvisor.com, and support requests are raised through Rithum's knowledge center. Rithum does not publish prices; it sells through demos and custom quotes, and reviewers report a monthly fee plus a share of revenue.

FAQ

What happened to ChannelAdvisor?

CommerceHub acquired ChannelAdvisor in 2022. On December 12, 2023, CommerceHub announced that it, ChannelAdvisor and Dsco would operate under one name, Rithum. The announcement framed the change as a rebrand of the combined company rather than a shutdown, and it said the business serves a network of more than 40,000 brands, retailers and suppliers. The ChannelAdvisor name is now used for a product within Rithum rather than as a separate company.

Is ChannelAdvisor still available?

Yes, as part of Rithum. The channeladvisor.com website now redirects to rithum.com, but the ChannelAdvisor platform continues under 'Rithum for Brands (formerly ChannelAdvisor)'. Existing users still log in at complete.channeladvisor.com, and support requests for this product are raised through Rithum's knowledge center, which requires a login. New customers are signed up through Rithum's sales team rather than a ChannelAdvisor-branded signup.

What replaced ChannelAdvisor?

Rithum replaced ChannelAdvisor as the brand. Rithum describes itself as a commerce operations platform for listing, marketing and selling products across channels. For brands it offers marketplace listings, inventory management, order management, retail media advertising, paid search and shopping ads, product feeds and reporting. For retailers it offers dropship, private marketplaces and shipping tools. ChannelAdvisor, Dsco, OrderStream and DemandStream are named as products under the Rithum brand.

How much does ChannelAdvisor (Rithum) cost?

Rithum does not publish prices for the former ChannelAdvisor platform. Its website asks buyers to request a demo, and Capterra lists the product as 'contact vendor for pricing'. Reviewers on Capterra describe monthly fees of more than $2,000 plus a revenue share of about 2-3%, and some mention setup costs. Treat these as user reports: actual pricing depends on your sales volume, channels and contract.

Is there a free trial for ChannelAdvisor?

Capterra lists no free trial and no free version for Rithum, the platform formerly called ChannelAdvisor. Rithum's website directs new customers to request a demo or contact sales, and pricing is set through a quote. If you want to test the software before committing, ask the sales team during the demo whether a pilot or limited-scope start is possible for your account.

How do I contact ChannelAdvisor support?

ChannelAdvisor support is now handled by Rithum. On Rithum's contact page, users of Rithum for Brands (formerly ChannelAdvisor) raise a support request through the knowledge center, which requires a login. Retailer products formerly under CommerceHub and Dsco have phone support at 1-844-HUB-HELP in the US and Canada and 0800 048 8122 in the UK and Europe. Sales questions go through the contact form.

How do I export my data from ChannelAdvisor?

In the platform, go to Inventory > Products > All products and tick the products you want, or tick the top box to select all. Click Export and choose Custom, pick a file format such as .xlsx, then choose the export fields you need, for example SKU, title, dimensions, weight and retail price. Run the export and download the file from the export report links, using the timestamp to find it.

Does ChannelAdvisor work with eBay?

Yes. eBay has long been one of the selling channels integrated with ChannelAdvisor. In September 2021 ChannelAdvisor announced support for eBay Promoted Listings Advanced, then in beta, so users could create, monitor and manage eBay ad campaigns alongside other retail media from one platform. The same announcement described eBay as one of nearly 200 channels connected to the platform at that time.

How do I cancel ChannelAdvisor?

There are no public self-serve cancellation steps. ChannelAdvisor, now part of Rithum, is sold under contract, so cancellation follows the term and notice period in your agreement. Raise a request through the Rithum knowledge center or speak to your account manager, and check your renewal date so notice is given in time. Export your product and order data before your access ends.

What are alternatives to ChannelAdvisor?

Businesses that used ChannelAdvisor also compare ChannelEngine, Linnworks, Feedonomics, Productsup, CedCommerce, Sellbrite and ChannelGrabber for multichannel listing, inventory and order management. Sellers focused mainly on eBay also look at eBay-specific tools such as 3Dsellers. Enterprise brands often shortlist based on channel coverage and pricing model, since Rithum combines a subscription with a revenue share.
