The Amazon ownership question
Veeqo's "free for Amazon sellers" model sounds great until you think about the implications. Amazon now sees your full multi-channel operation: every Shopify order, every eBay listing, every supplier you use, every margin you make. That's a lot of competitive intelligence to hand to a company that also competes with you on Amazon's marketplace.
Whether that bothers you is a personal call. For some sellers, free is free. For others — especially those building a brand they want to sell — the privacy and independence of an unaffiliated platform matters.
Pricing
Veeqo is technically "free" but the catch is you have to qualify (Amazon-approved sellers, certain account types) and you're locked into Amazon's wider ecosystem. There's no public paid tier for sellers who don't qualify — Veeqo is essentially abandoning that segment of the market.
eTail Support is openly priced. Starter is genuinely free with no Amazon dependency. Growth at £10/week and Scale at £100/week scale predictably. See full pricing.
Channels — where Veeqo's bias shows
Veeqo's roadmap, support, and integration depth lean toward Amazon. New Amazon features are first-class; new Shopify features take longer. eBay, Etsy, and direct-to-consumer sellers report feeling like second-class citizens.
eTail Support treats every channel equally. Same priority for Shopify and Amazon updates. Same support quality regardless of where your orders come from. All integrations are first-class.
Accounting
Veeqo doesn't do accounting — you bolt on Xero or QuickBooks. eTail Support has a full double-entry accounting engine built in. For mid-sized sellers, this saves the cost and complexity of running two systems.
Smart Purchasing
Veeqo has stock alerts. eTail Support has Smart Purchasing — predictive purchase recommendations based on actual sell-through rate, lead times, and your cash position. The difference between "you're running low" and "buy these 12 SKUs from Supplier A this week for £8,420".
Fulfilment
Veeqo will gently push you toward FBA whenever possible. That's understandable — it's their parent company's priority. eTail Support runs our own 3PL warehouses in Liverpool and Ljubljana, which means we have a stake in helping you optimise non-FBA fulfilment too.
Who should use Veeqo?
- You sell mainly on Amazon and don't mind Amazon seeing your other channels
- You qualify for the free tier and want zero software cost
- You're already deep in the Amazon ecosystem (FBA, Sponsored Products, etc.)
Who should use eTail Support?
- You don't want Amazon seeing your Shopify, eBay, or D2C operation
- You sell across multiple channels with no clear primary
- You want built-in accounting without paying for Xero/QuickBooks
- You want predictive purchasing recommendations, not just stock alerts
- You'd benefit from a 3PL partner that isn't an Amazon competitor
FAQ
Is Veeqo really free?
Yes — if you meet Amazon's eligibility criteria (Amazon Pro Seller account in certain marketplaces). Sellers who don't qualify can't use it.
Does Amazon see my non-Amazon channel data via Veeqo?
Veeqo's privacy policy permits Amazon to use aggregated data to improve services. The exact level of separation between Veeqo and Amazon's broader data systems isn't fully transparent.
Can I migrate from Veeqo to eTail Support?
Yes. Export your products, customers and orders from Veeqo as CSV; we map and import. Typical migration is 2-3 weeks.
Will I save money switching from Veeqo to eTail Support?
If you're on Veeqo's free tier today, no — you'll go from £0 to £10-£100/week. The decision is about data privacy, channel independence and feature depth, not cost.
