Holiday season readiness: 4 preparation gaps to fix before Q4 [Live session]

Most peak season problems aren't caused by volume. They're caused by setups that were never tested. Join ChannelEngine and Inriver on September 8 to fix that before Q4.

Find the gaps now, before your customers do.

Your Q4 campaigns, priority products, and stock forecasts may be ready. But has the marketplace setup behind them actually been tested?

Listings can fail to go live. Promotions can show the wrong price. Stock can stop syncing. Orders can get stuck between systems. Small issues like these can quickly turn into lost sales, cancellations, and last-minute troubleshooting when volumes increase.

Join ChannelEngine and Inriver to pressure-test four critical areas before Q4. Learn what to check, which warning signs to watch for, and where to act before peak volumes hit.

4 gaps worth checking before Q4

Listings: complete internally, but live on the marketplace?
Check whether your priority assortment is actually accurate, approved, and purchasable across channels.

Promotions: configured, but showing the right price?
Put your promotion flow to the test before campaign day exposes a pricing or setup issue.

Stock: available, but reaching the right offer?
Make sure inventory is syncing correctly before discrepancies turn into lost sales or cancellations.

Orders: accepted, but completing the journey?
Pressure-test the flow between marketplace, systems, and fulfillment before volumes increase.
For each area, we’ll look at what to test, when to test it, the warning signs to watch for, and what to do if something isn’t working.

Why this session

This isn’t another peak season planning checklist. You’ll focus on the points where marketplace preparation often breaks down between planning and execution, so you can identify issues while there is still time to fix them.
