What are e-commerce automation proxies?

High-performance proxies enabling automated inventory management and purchasing workflows across multiple marketplaces simultaneously without restrictions.

Modern e-commerce requires real-time synchronization across Amazon, eBay, Shopify, and dozens of other platforms. Each marketplace enforces strict API limits and blocks automated tools. While some platforms work with datacenter and IPv6 proxies for cost-effective automation, residential proxies ensure maximum compatibility when platforms implement stricter anti-bot measures. This flexibility enables continuous inventory tracking, automated order placement, and multi-channel synchronization that drives 30% improvement in fulfillment rates.

proxies = {
    'http': 'http://user:[email protected]:8080',
    'https': 'http://user:[email protected]:8080'
}

# Scrape product page for stock and price
response = requests.get('https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08N5WRWNW', 
                       proxies=proxies,
                       headers={'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0...'})

Common Issues & Solutions

Getting blocked when scraping?

Use residential proxies with rotating IPs and realistic delays between requests (2-5 seconds).

Need to track inventory across sites?

Use different proxy types per site - residential for Amazon, datacenter for smaller stores.

Scraping too slow?

Increase concurrent connections and use datacenter proxies for sites that allow it.

CAPTCHAs appearing?

Slow down requests, rotate user agents, and switch to residential IPs from the target country.

Pro Tips

  • • Most e-commerce sites don't have public APIs - scraping is the only way
  • • Start with datacenter proxies on smaller sites to save costs
  • • Amazon/eBay require residential proxies due to aggressive anti-bot
  • • Always respect robots.txt and implement delays between requests
