History of Merkandi

  • 2024

    February, 2024
    Implementation of a PIN code for customer service

    We have implemented individual PIN codes for customers to enhance security and facilitate authorisation when contacting customer service. This makes the verification process faster and the security of data on the platform has been significantly strengthened.

  • January, 2024
    Possibility of logging in multiple users to a single account

    In order to facilitate teamwork within specific account types, we have introduced a sub-accounts function, so that, for example, employees can manage customer interactions more effectively.

    Implementation of native push notifications

    We have implemented a new native notifications system, which allows you to receive information directly on your computer or phone screen. Once approved by the user, the news will display on the devices, allowing even faster access to content.

  • 2023

    December, 2023
    Ability to boost offers at any time

    We provide an easy-to-use module for refreshing your offers. Once every 30 days, the refresh is completely free. A faster refresh with payment with Merkandi points is also available. Refreshing your offers is a simple and effective tool to increase the visibility of your offers!

  • November, 2023
    Possibility of creating offers prior to the activation of the sales option

    The company's verification time is dependent on a number of factors. Therefore, in some cases it can extend up to two weeks. We have changed our internal system and now users can create their offers while the Merkandi team verifies the company. After positive verification, all listings will be automatically published.

  • October, 2023
    Adding information on which countries the seller ships to + free shipping

    International trade is becoming simpler and... cheaper. That is why we have added the option to define which countries the seller ships to and the ability to specify free shipping to countries of their choice, along with the option to specify the amount limit at which free shipping is offered.

  • September, 2023
    Merkandi reaches the speed of light!

    After more than a month of hard work, we can proudly say that the site has been speeded up by up to 70%. Loading times have decreased significantly, which makes browsing the site even more enjoyable. Check it out for yourself.

    Most popular searches and new promoted offers section

    We have implemented a new section: the most popular searches and with them, numerous visual changes. These include a new Week's best offer section and Top offers from the category. Merkandi has become more visually appealing and even easier to use.

    Import/export knowledge base

    International trade is not the simplest of things. In addition, searching for information on trade rules, customs duties, etc. For each country, it can be time-consuming. To save you time, we have put together a summary of information for most of the countries of the world so that national borders are no longer an issue in international trade.

  • August, 2023
    Report the offer

    Goods are unoriginal? Information missing from the offer? Or is the price out of date? In order to ensure the highest quality of content on the site, we provide our users with the opportunity to report offers.

  • July, 2023
    Search prompts

    We are implementing a simpler search system on our website. From now on, when you type a phrase into the search field, the system will suggest categories, the most popular tags and the most relevant products. This makes searching simpler and getting to the right products even quicker.

    Ordering products

    Trade always involves contact with the customer. One of the most frequently reported problems is endlessly drawn-out conversations with buyers. To reduce the number of messages exchanged and increase sales, we are introducing an ordering system with a shopping basket. Now ordering from the buyer's point of view is simpler and more intuitive, and the seller receives the order ready for processing.

  • June, 2023
    Onboarding of wholesalers

    The full details of the seller such as payment methods, shipping methods, opening hours etc. should be standard. To ensure that every seller has a fully completed profile, we have implemented seller onboarding. Completing the data will result in fewer unnecessary enquiries from buyers and more interested parties.

    New, better and faster import of offers

    We have developed a completely new import of offers. It is now faster, simpler and more intuitive to use. We hope that the growing number of users using this module will find it even easier to add and update their offers.

  • May, 2023
    Publication of offers - even simpler

    From now on, we take care of everything on Merkandi. You can publish each offer in just one version, and we will translate it into all other languages. International trade becomes even easier.

    Faster, simpler filters and sorting

    We have made a number of improvements to the filters - from now on, they are sorted by the number of offers you have, we have made it easier to navigate to subcategories and their speed. In addition, we have implemented the ability to sort offers by price and by date of adding an offer.

  • April, 2023
    Onboarding for buyers

    On Merkandi, the most important thing is the offers. We have introduced an onboarding process that allows the user to select the categories and grades they are interested in, after which they receive a newsletter with offers perfectly tailored to their needs.

    Renewable subscriptions already on Merkandi

    We have applied a new, more convenient way of managing your subscription. From now on, with subscriptions for a monthly period, the subscription amount will be charged automatically until cancellation. Now everything is even simpler.

  • March, 2023
    Merkandi's sustainability activities

    Merkandi is a platform that for years has focused on selling surplus, liquidation, end-of-series, etc., i.e. anti-waste. In order to promote this idea and educate the public, we have set up a dedicated subpage with a report on our activities in this area.

    Stock section with a more relevant set of offers

    We have made changes to the mechanism for categorising listings into the stock section. From now on, offers containing a set of carefully selected keywords will appear in this section, helping to reduce the number of missed offers and increase the number of exceptional bargains.

  • February, 2023
    Product discounts are already here!

    From now on, whenever a wholesaler changes the price of a product to a lower price, this will be marked in the offer as a promotion with an indication of the new and old price.

  • January, 2023
    Increase sales through quality indicator

    We have introduced a new feature - the offer quality indicator, thanks to which every seller can interactively improve their offers and as a result → sales. The indicator has a measure from 0 to 100 where a score above 85 indicates a high quality offer. Feel free to test the functionality!

    We will save your card details for easier payments

    From now on, any user who has ever paid for a service on Merkandi by credit or debit card will have the option of choosing a saved card for the next payment.

    Directions to the warehouse

    In the wholesaler profile, we have introduced a larger map that is more visible and easy to read and includes a very important change - it has the option of a route. Planning a visit to a wholesaler has never been so easy.

  • 2022

    December, 2022
    Access to wholesale offers without limits

    We have translated all offers on the site into all available languages. Thanks to this, every user, regardless of language or language version of Merkandi, will see the same set of offers for purchase. More offers = more customers for wholesalers!

    Improved messaging module and response rates

    One of the key elements in international communication is e-mail. We have improved the module to make it easier to use, plus we are introducing a new feature - indicators. We will be highlighting sellers who respond to all messages and do so in the fastest possible time.

  • November, 2022

  • July, 2022
    We create tutorials to make it even easier to use Merkandi

    We have created the first guide on how to add listings to the platform. It is graphical and textual, with tips on how to list offers that sell. This is the start of a series of materials to make using our platform even easier.

  • June, 2022
    The new, better search engine is here!

    We have implemented a new search engine that includes a number of advantages. It is much faster, returns more tailored search results, is resistant to spelling errors, and can recognize the variation of words.

  • April, 2022

    In order to meet the users' needs, we have activated a new type of account on a test basis within the framework of a promotion, which, in addition to a number of PREMIUM account benefits, has three additional services: Contractor Verification, Goods Search and Credibility Certificate. This is another step on our way to best adjusting our services to the needs of our Customers.
