Multi-channel selling on e-commerce platforms is a mandatory strategy to increase revenue in today's era. Statistics show that sellers who sell on 3 or more platforms have an average revenue 4.5 times higher than those who sell on only one platform. However, this great benefit comes with a significant challenge: managing orders from multiple sources.

If you are selling on Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop simultaneously, you are probably all too familiar with this scenario: opening three different Seller Center tabs, constantly switching back and forth to check for new orders, copying customer information to create shipping orders, and then having to return to each platform to update order statuses. Each day passes with 3 hours or more spent on these repetitive tasks, when you could be dedicating that time to customer care or developing new products.

So, is there a way to manage all orders from multiple platforms in a single place, automate repetitive tasks, and minimize errors? The answer lies in intelligent integration and synchronization.

Serious Issues When Manually Managing Multi-Platform Orders

According to a recent survey, 67% of Vietnamese sellers still manage multi-platform orders using manual methods, leading to a series of problems that directly affect revenue and reputation.

Wasting time on repetitive tasks

A workday for a multi-platform seller usually begins by opening three or more browser tabs: Shopee Seller Center, Lazada Seller Center, TikTok Shop Seller Center. Every time a new order comes in, they have to go to each platform to view the information, copy the order ID, customer address, then switch to the shipping carrier's website like GHN or ViettelPost to create a delivery order. This process is repeated dozens, even hundreds of times a day, consuming 3 hours or more of the seller's time.

High risk of overselling due to unsynchronized inventory

The most serious issue is manual inventory management using Excel or paper. When a product is sold on Shopee, the inventory on Lazada and TikTok Shop remains unchanged unless the seller manually updates it. This leads to overselling: selling more than the actual quantity in stock. The result is order cancellations, customer compensation, and a loss of reputation on the platform.

No overall view of business performance

When order data is scattered across multiple different platforms, sellers cannot grasp the big picture. They don't know which platform is generating the highest revenue, which products are selling best on each channel, or at what time of day most orders are placed. The lack of this information makes business decision-making unclear and inefficient.

High error rate in order processing

Manually copy-pasting information between systems always carries risks: sending to the wrong address, entering the wrong phone number, forgetting to update order status. Each small mistake can lead to customer complaints, affecting the shop's ratings and its ranking on the platform.

GTG CRM — Comprehensive Order Synchronization Solution for Multi-Platform Sellers

To thoroughly address these challenges, GTG CRM provides an integrated multi-platform order management system that automatically synchronizes all orders from Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop to a single dashboard. You only need one screen to track, process, and manage all orders from every sales channel, helping to save time, reduce errors, and increase operational efficiency.

Step 1: Connect E-commerce Platforms (5 minutes)

In GTG CRM, go to Settings > Connect E-commerce Platforms, and select the platforms you want to connect:

  • Shopee: Log in to your Shopee Seller account → grant permissions → complete
  • Lazada: Similarly — log in to Lazada Seller Center → authorize
  • TikTok Shop: Connect via TikTok Shop Seller Center

After connecting, all new orders will automatically flow into GTG CRM within minutes.

Step 2: View & Process Orders Centrally

In the Order Hub, you see all orders from every platform in one table:

Column Description
Order ID Original order ID from the platform (e.g., Shopee #2403150001)
Platform Shopee / Lazada / TikTok Icon
Status Pending Confirmation → Processing → In Transit → Completed
Customer Name, Phone number, Address
Total Amount Order value

Smart Filtering: Filter by platform, by status, by order date — find the order you need to process in 1 second.

Step 3: Bulk Shipping Order Creation

No need to open GHN/ViettelPost separately:

  1. Select multiple orders at once (tick checkboxes)
  2. Click "Create Shipping Orders"
  3. The system automatically calculates shipping fees, generates tracking numbers, and prints delivery slips
  4. Track delivery status in real-time directly within GTG CRM

Step 4: Automatic Inventory Synchronization

This is the most important feature: when an order on Shopee is confirmed, inventory on all platforms automatically decreases. No manual updates needed, never oversell.
