Hayneedle Listings Management

Overview

Hayneedle is an online marketplace specializing in home improvement products and furnishings. When integrated with Hayneedle, Sellercloud lets you handle product updates for channel listings. You can push the product updates either manually or automatically by configuring the channel-specific company settings.
