When selling products from other sellers in your environment, a VTEX store becomes a VTEX marketplace. You can learn more about partners and growth opportunities in the VTEX ecosystem in [Marketplace strategies at VTEX](/en/docs/tutorials/marketplace-strategies-at-vtex).\n\nThe product shipping architecture between VTEX marketplaces and sellers includes an extensive list of clients who are not only able to sell their products on a [VTEX marketplace](/en/docs/tutorials/configuring-vtex-marketplace), but also on a different sales channel.\n\nBy default, the product that will be shipped from the seller must also be in [stock](/en/docs/tutorials/warehouse) on the marketplace.

Thus, we guarantee that a product will be sold only if the seller has previously authorized it.\n\nThe following image is an example in which Seller A sends a product to Marketplace A.
