# How do I avoid price & inventory conflicts between D2C website and marketplaces?

**Running D2C and marketplace channels together introduces fast-moving inventory and pricing conflicts.**

When your own website runs a flash sale, stock can disappear within minutes —
 while marketplaces like Amazon or Flipkart may still show availability.
 At the same time, **price parity rules** penalise sellers if D2C prices undercut marketplace listings.

Without real-time control, this leads to **overselling, forced cancellations, parity violations, and account health risks**.
