Need a Make Alternative That Actually Understands Ecommerce?
Make gives you powerful visual automation, but building ecommerce inventory and order workflows from scratch is time-consuming and fragile. Nventory provides native multichannel commerce features that would take dozens of Make scenarios to replicate, and it runs in real time without operation limits.
Make (formerly Integromat) is a visual automation platform that connects apps through complex, multi-step scenarios. It offers more granular control than Zapier but remains a generic automation tool that lacks native ecommerce features like inventory management or order fulfillment.
Where Make (Integromat) Falls Short for Ecommerce
Complex multi-step scenarios require deep technical knowledge to build and maintain, creating a bottleneck when your automation designer is unavailable.
Operation-based pricing penalizes high-volume sellers since every inventory check, order import, and stock update consumes operations from your monthly quota.
Scenarios lack native ecommerce data models, forcing you to manually handle SKU mapping, variant matching, and inventory calculations through custom logic.
Error handling in long scenario chains is difficult to debug, and a single failed module can silently break downstream inventory accuracy.
No built-in concept of warehouses, bundles, or channel-specific stock allocation, all of which must be engineered manually.

Where Nventory Excels
No Scenarios to Build or Maintain
Nventory handles inventory sync, order management, and fulfillment natively. You configure rules through a purpose-built interface instead of constructing fragile multi-step scenarios from scratch.
Unlimited Operations at a Flat Rate
Make charges per operation, and ecommerce workflows consume operations rapidly. Nventory processes unlimited inventory updates and order syncs without per-operation costs eating into your margins.
Ecommerce Data Models Built In
Products, variants, SKUs, bundles, warehouses, and channels are first-class concepts in Nventory, not custom JSON objects you need to parse and transform in every scenario.
Faster Time to Value
Instead of spending days building and testing Make scenarios, connect your channels in minutes and start managing inventory and orders immediately with pre-built ecommerce workflows.
Switch to Nventory in Under 1 hour
Moving from Make (Integromat) is straightforward.
Connect your ecommerce platforms and marketplaces to Nventory with guided one-click setup.
Import your product catalog. Nventory automatically maps SKUs and variants across connected channels.
Set up order routing, inventory rules, and automation triggers using the visual rule builder.
Pause or delete your ecommerce-related Make scenarios once Nventory is processing orders and syncing inventory.
Frequently Asked Questions
For ecommerce workflows, Nventory is significantly more powerful because it understands ecommerce concepts natively. You do not need to build SKU mapping, inventory deduction, or order routing logic from scratch. For non-ecommerce automation needs, you can continue using Make alongside Nventory.
Most sellers find that Nventory replaces weeks of scenario-building effort with features that work out of the box. The time you save maintaining fragile scenarios pays for itself within the first month, especially during peak sales periods when Make scenario failures cost real revenue.
Make charges per operation, and a typical multichannel seller consumes thousands of operations daily just for inventory updates. Nventory offers flat-rate plans with unlimited sync operations, which is substantially more affordable for ecommerce workloads.
Absolutely. Nventory focuses on ecommerce operations, so you can continue using Make for CRM workflows, marketing automations, or other business processes that fall outside inventory and order management.
Nventory supports all major ecommerce platforms, marketplaces, shipping carriers, and accounting tools with deep, native integrations. Unlike Make's generic API connectors, each Nventory integration is purpose-built for ecommerce data flows.
