I have my products listed on Amazon/eBay. How do I connect them to Shopify?
You can connect existing Amazon/eBay listings to Shopify products. This way, you can use Salestio to sync quantities and prices from Shopify to Amazon/eBay. The important thing here is that SKUs should be the same across all platforms. For eBay listings with variations, the number of variations and their labels should be the same on Shopify and eBay.

I added products to the Selling List but they are not displayed. Where can I find them?
Shopify products should have unique SKUs added to product and variation pages. If the products are not displayed in the Selling List, make sure that they have SKUs. If you added the Selling List in the Collection mode, make sure the products are added to the selected collection(s).
Keep in mind that Salestio employs duplicate protection for the Selling Lists: each Shopify SKU can appear in only one Selling List with the same marketplace and eBay/Amazon/Etsy account. If the product already exists in another Selling List, it will be skipped.

My products do not have UPC/EANs but I have a GTIN exemption. Why does it still tell me "Missing EAN/UPC"?
The message is just a notification that barcodes are not added to Shopify products. If you are allowed to list products without barcodes, make sure to put a checkmark to "Product identity exemption" in the Amazon/eBay profile.
Can I customize prices sent to Amazon/eBay?
Yes. Salestio allows sending custom prices with the products exported to the selected platform.
By default, the exact Shopify product price is exported along with the product. You can add the specific price, configure the Shopify metafield and add the price ratio in the Global profile. For more complex price calculations, you can use the Price template where you can define the price range to the rules that will be applied and configure complex formulas.

How can I stop Salestio from updating prices on the marketplace?
You can disable automatic Price/QTY updates in the settings for your Amazon/eBay/Etsy account. Go to Salestio Settings tab > select your marketplace account on the left > Unselect "Update Ebay/Amazon/Etsy Item Price when it has changed in Shopify"). In this case, eBay prices will stop updating completely. You can sync price manually by running the "Update price" action in the Selling List".
Another way is to set up a Price Template.. If you want to keep syncing the prices, but have them higher on the marketplace, consider setting up a rule to mark up the prices before sending the items.

My products suddenly stopped syncing. What do I do?
The supported marketplaces allow connecting the account with Salestio only for a limited time. You can check the connection in the Accounts tab. If you see an "Expired" badge, you will need to log in again:
Select your expired account and click the "Save Account"/"Connect to account" button. After being redirected, log in again to resume syncing.

Why are eBay listings not stopped when they sell out?
To prevent overselling on eBay, please make sure to enable the out-of-stock control feature. This will make your listings hidden when they are updated to "0" quantity:
- 1. Go to My eBay > Account settings > Site preferences
- 2. Under "Selling preferences," look for "Listings stay active when you’re out of stock"
- 3. Enable this checkbox
I can't create a Selling List, how do I select Business Policies?
To be able to create listings on eBay, you should add the Business Policies first. They are Payment, Shipping, and Return policies. The Business Policies should be set directly on eBay. Then, they can be selected on Salestio.
In case you see just one option of each Business policy, it means that there are only those policies are configured on your eBay account. You can add more policies on your account, and then, choose the preferred ones in Salestio.
If you would like to list products on eBay US, you should add the Business policies on ebay.com and the same is for other sites. Here are the instructions on how to configure Business Policies on eBay resources. Then, you can select them in Salestio.

[eBay] Inventory-based listing management is not currently supported by this tool. Please refer to the tool used to create this listing
This error appears when you are trying to use Salestio to revise eBay listings created with the Shopify eBay app.
If eBay listings were created with the Shopify eBay app, Salestio is not able to update them.
It happens because that app uses a different API which is not compatible with the API used by Salestio.
From our experience, you cannot edit such listings even directly on eBay. In such cases, unfortunately, Salestio is not able to modify them either.
You can create new eBay listings directly on eBay and then, connect them to Shopify products with Salestio, or you can create new eBay listings from Shopify products using our app.

I have orders on Amazon/eBay/Etsy. Why I don’t see them in Shopify?
