The Monotote Technology allows you to easily create seamless shopping experiences for your website visitors, by allowing them to directly purchase showcased products from pictures, links and videos without leaving your blog or website. On average, visitors on Monotote enabled pages spend twice as long on site = double the session time. This increases the amount of ads served per visitor, and generate 3X more clicks on product links. Resulting in increased product engagement and a conversion lift of 20-30%.

How it works?

Monotote offers an easy-to-use, plug and play technology. Once enabled, it connects to all products on eBay.

You must enable marketplace eBay in your settings before the products are available through the Shopping Cart Technology System.

Product-Curator

Instead of showing one item in the eBay shopping cart the Product-Curator tool makes it possible to show a selection of up to 20 products at the same time. This leads to a much better chance of converting the reader than only showing one product as has been the norm until now.

Similar products

With this tool you can easily display similar products in the eBay shopping cart along-side the main product, allowing the customer more choice and driving conversion. Real-time product information, by activating any of these new publisher tools you ensure that your online reader is always seeing the most up to date, real-time product information, pricing and availability. In order to get this information, your visitor has always had to be redirected. With this real-time product feature, you can deliver a great service to your online readers by informing them while they stay on your website. The upside of this is that you will be able to retain your visitors for much longer. Well informed users convert better!

Real-time pricing in editorial content

Boost conversion with real-time pricing information in your editorial content. Any eBay’s pricing change will be automatically reflected in your editorial. This great tool will save you a lot of time as you no longer need to manually update your pricing. A great way to maximize the potential of high-traffic sale periods, such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Up-Sell Cross-Sell
