# Online marketplace

> A platform where many sellers list products, such as Amazon, usually with strict image requirements.

Also known as: marketplace, e-commerce marketplace. Category: E-commerce and workflow.

An online marketplace is a platform on which many sellers list products, such as Amazon or eBay. Marketplaces usually set strict image requirements, for example a pure white background for the main image and minimum pixel dimensions.

## How PhotoRobot uses it

PhotoRobot's editor can crop and resize images to a target pixel size so marketplace formats leave the editor channel-ready, and webhooks let a marketplace listing be updated only once hosted images are actually available.
