Import2Shop: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Import2Shop is software for online retailers who buy from fixed wholesalers. It imports product data from suppliers, keeps articles, prices and stock levels up to date, applies pricing rules, and can pass orders on directly to the wholesaler. Further functions cover own stock booked by barcode, product bundles whose stock and price are calculated automatically, a returns portal for customers and a B2B marketplace for passing on returned goods. It connects to Shopware, Gambio, Shopify, WooCommerce and eBay; an Amazon connection is in a pilot phase. Each merchant gets a separate instance.

Import2Shop is operated by an individual business in Lauchhammer, Germany, and has automated e-commerce processes since 2013. The website does not say where the current service is hosted. Its history page mentions a server rack in a Frankfurt data centre in 2014 and a data centre partner, but not the present set-up, and it publishes no data processing agreement. Ask the vendor about the hosting location, subprocessors and a processing agreement, because supplier and order data pass through the service.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Import2Shop

Import2Shop is headquartered in DE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Import2Shop scores best on data residency.

Import2Shop is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Import2Shop together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
