How It Works

Simple to use

1

Enter a domain

Type any webshop domain such as bol.com, coolblue.nl, or mediamarkt.nl. You can also use the deep-link format /merchant-lookup?domain=bol.com&country=nl to pre-fill the search.

2

Get the company profile

The tool fetches and compiles publicly available company data including contact details, social media presence, TrustPilot ratings, product categories, and an AI-generated business description.

3

Save and compare

Recent searches are saved as quick-access chips so you can return to previously looked-up merchants. Use the results to compare competitors side by side.

Features

What you get

Complete competitor intelligence from a single domain

The Merchant Lookup tool turns a bare domain name into a structured company dossier. Instead of manually visiting a retailer's website, checking their LinkedIn, searching for TrustPilot reviews, and browsing their product catalog, you get everything in one view. This is particularly valuable for ecommerce professionals who need to evaluate potential competitors, identify new sourcing partners, or research retailers before approaching them for distribution agreements.

  • Company name, registered address, and country of origin
  • Founding year and employee count for sizing the business
  • CEO name for outreach and partnership conversations
  • AI-generated description summarizing what the company does and its market position

Social media presence and customer reputation at a glance

Understanding a retailer's online footprint goes beyond their website. The Merchant Lookup tool aggregates social media profiles across seven major platforms and pulls TrustPilot review data, giving you an immediate sense of the retailer's digital maturity and customer satisfaction. Combined with product categories and brands carried, you get a complete picture of who they are, what they sell, and how their customers perceive them.

  • Direct links to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, and Pinterest
  • TrustPilot review score and summarized customer feedback
  • Product categories to understand their market segments
  • Brands carried to identify overlap with your own catalog
