All VTEX stores are prepared to be a marketplace, or to sell to other VTEX stores or to our integrated marketplaces. This can be done through simple settings, without the need to develop an integration.
The integration between VTEX stores is the simplest of all, and it does not require some steps needed for other integrations. See below the instructions for each of the following settings.

About the integration
After defining the settings, you must index all products of the base in order to make the integration.
- Using the sponsor user, access the link
{accountname}.vtexcommercestable.com.br/admin/Site/FullCleanUp.aspx. - Click on the Reindex Base button.
Please note that in the URL you must change the term {accountname} to the name of your store.
After adjusting these settings, the products will start to be sent to the marketplace. Then, the marketplace must map the categories, brands and specifications, as well as accept the products sent.
