Clarus WMS connects directly to Tesco Marketplace so ecommerce and operations teams can manage orders, stock and despatch from one place. Once connected, Tesco Marketplace sales orders pass into Clarus, you allocate by quantity in the WMS, and shipment confirmations with tracking flow back to Tesco Marketplace. Inventory availability is kept in sync so listings remain accurate. Label data and sales order line information are shared between Clarus and Tesco Marketplace to keep packing and customer updates consistent. No third-party middleware or coding is required.
What are WMS integrations with Tesco Marketplace and how does Clarus support them?

How does Clarus manage order and inventory syncing with Tesco Marketplace?

Is any development work needed to set up WMS integrations with Tesco Marketplace?
No. The Tesco Marketplace connection is provided natively in Clarus WMS. You authorise Clarus with your Tesco Marketplace account, confirm permissions for order import and stock export, then choose a small set of operational preferences. There is no middleware to host and no custom scripts to maintain for a standard deployment.
What’s the fastest way to connect Clarus WMS to Tesco Marketplace?
Setup is intentionally simple:
- Connect your Tesco Marketplace account to Clarus
Authorise Clarus WMS with your marketplace credentials and confirm the required scopes. - Orders, tracking and inventory begin syncing
New Tesco Marketplace orders appear in Clarus. When you complete shipments, tracking and confirmations post to Tesco Marketplace, and inventory availability updates follow. - Manage everything from one dashboard
Allocate by quantity, run picks, print labels and confirm despatch in Clarus. Monitor orders, tracking and stock across channels in one place.
No third-party middleware or coding is required.
How does allocation by quantity help with Tesco Marketplace fulfilment?
Allocation by quantity provides precise control before work starts on the floor.
- Prioritise orders by promised date or service
- Reserve partial quantities when only part of a line is available, then complete the balance later
- Avoid double allocation by making commitments explicit in the WMS
Allocation states are visible in the Clarus dashboard so supervisors and pick teams share the same view of what is committed and what remains open.
How are labels, tracking and shipment updates handled for Tesco Marketplace?
Labels and tracking are central to a clean buyer experience and reliable customer service.
- Label data available where needed
Clarus stores the fields required for accurate printing and reconciliation alongside line-level detail. - Tracking returned to Tesco Marketplace
When you despatch, Clarus posts the tracking reference and carrier details with the shipment confirmation. - Line-level accuracy
Confirmations match the items actually packed, which supports clear communications and accurate reporting.
If you use multiple carriers, Clarus records the service used and the tracking reference per parcel so Tesco Marketplace receives the correct details.
How does inventory synchronisation work across Tesco Marketplace and other channels?
Clarus WMS treats the warehouse as the source of truth for stock on hand. When you pick and despatch, Clarus adjusts on-hand and available quantities, then posts updated availability to Tesco Marketplace. If you also connect other channels, Clarus applies the same logic to each integration to help prevent oversell events. If you operate multiple locations, Clarus can reflect location-specific stock and publish the right totals to Tesco Marketplace in line with your listing strategy.
What data is exchanged between Tesco Marketplace and Clarus WMS during the order lifecycle?
The integration concentrates on everyday operational fields.
- From Tesco Marketplace to Clarus
Order headers, buyer and delivery details, service selections where applicable, and line items with quantities. - Within Clarus
Allocation by quantity, pick and pack confirmations, label data fields and tracking references. - From Clarus to Tesco Marketplace

How do teams operate day to day once the systems are connected?
You can manage daily work from the Clarus dashboard:
- Review incoming Tesco Marketplace orders and filter by service or promised date.
- Allocate by quantity to commit stock to the orders you plan to pick.
- Run picking using your preferred method, single order, batch or wave.
- Pack and label with label data shared between Clarus and Tesco Marketplace.
- Confirm despatch so tracking and shipment updates flow to Tesco Marketplace.
- Monitor inventory to keep on-hand and available levels accurate across all connected channels.
Any time saving will vary by operation, treat figures as estimates unless confirmed, however teams typically find marketplace fulfilment simpler from one WMS dashboard once connected.
Implementation considerations for technical buyers
The Clarus WMS integration with Tesco Marketplace is delivered natively, which reduces moving parts. There is no external middleware to maintain for a standard deployment and no separate integration vendor to manage. Access control, audit and environment separation are handled within Clarus. You can connect a staging environment first if required, verify order import, shipment posting and inventory updates, then connect live.
For reporting, Clarus provides operational dashboards for orders, inventory and despatch. If you maintain a data warehouse, operational data can be exported from Clarus and reconciled with Tesco Marketplace reporting. The integration keeps warehouse truth intact and avoids duplication of logic.
