Rithum: what it is, how it works & who it's for

Commerce operations platform for marketplaces, product feeds, dropship and retail media

Updated · Pricing checked October 2026

CommerceHub and ChannelAdvisor now operate together under the Rithum brand; legacy ChannelAdvisor and Dsco logins remain available.

What is Rithum?

Rithum is a commerce operations platform that helps brands and retailers list, fulfill, market and optimize products across major sales channels. It brings together the former CommerceHub and ChannelAdvisor businesses, and older product names such as ChannelAdvisor, Dsco, OrderStream and DemandStream still appear as login portals. Rithum says more than 40,000 brands and retailers use its network, which spans over 600 marketplaces.

For brands, Rithum covers marketplace listings, inventory and order management, AI-powered product feeds, paid search and shopping ads, retail media advertising and reporting. For retailers, it offers dropshipping, private marketplaces, supplier discovery through SupplyExplorer and shipping tools such as delivery date prediction and label management. An intelligence layer called RithumIQ adds AI-driven insights. Pricing is not published and requires a demo or sales conversation. Because of this breadth, Rithum is usually evaluated as a long-term operations platform rather than a single-purpose feed tool.

Who is Rithum best for?
