Flash Listings

Marketplaces

Connecting your marketplaces.

Connect each shop once, in a few minutes. Then every listing goes to all of them in a press, and the stock stays in step everywhere.

  • 12 marketplaces
  • 1 press to list on each
  • Every 5 min stock kept in step

How cross-listing works

  1. List it once

    Make the listing as usual and publish it to eBay.

  2. Pick where else

    Under it, Also list it everywhere else you sell shows every marketplace you have connected.

  3. Press each one

    The title, description, photos, price, stock and item specifics go across. Nothing to type again.

Stock is kept in step: every five minutes each marketplace is checked, and a sale on one takes the quantity down on all the others. See and change it in Settings, under Stock.

eBay

The UK's biggest marketplace · takes about 2 minutes

Connect eBay

You will need

  • The email or username and password you sell with on eBay.
  • Postage, payment and returns set up on eBay as Business policies - eBay will not take a listing without them.

When you list

  • Every tool publishes to eBay once you press Publish - to your default shop, or the one you pick.
  • With more than one shop connected, each gets its own copy with its own lead photo.

Step by step

  1. Open Settings and tap eBay

    In Flash Listings, open Settings from the home page, then tap the eBay logo.

  2. Press Connect with eBay

    eBay's own sign-in page opens. Your password goes to eBay, never to us.

  3. Sign in with the account you sell on

    It always asks you to sign in, so you can choose which account. Selling on more than one? Connect them one at a time - sign in with a different account each time.

  4. Press Agree

    eBay lists what Flash Listings may do: list items for you and read your sales. Press Agree.

  5. You are brought back, connected

    Your shop appears in Settings with a tick. If it says it Needs something, carry on to the next step.

  6. Fill in anything eBay says is missing

    Open Business policies on eBay, create the postage, payment or returns policy it names, then come back and press Check again.

If something goes wrong

It says connecting eBay is not switched on yet

The site owner has one setup step left on eBay's side. Try again later, or contact us.

It says that shop is already linked

eBay signed you in as a shop you already connected. To add a different one, open eBay in a private window, sign out, and connect again.

It says Don't agree was pressed

eBay was asked but not allowed. Press Connect with eBay again and press Agree this time.

Amazon

The world's biggest marketplace · takes about 2 minutes

Connect Amazon

You will need

  • An Amazon Seller Central account on the Professional selling plan, signed in with its main (primary) login - on any of Amazon's marketplaces: the UK; Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, Sweden and Poland; Turkey, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, South Africa and India; the US, Canada, Mexico and Brazil; Japan, Australia and Singapore.
  • A barcode (EAN) for each product - or a GTIN exemption from Amazon - for products Amazon does not have yet.

When you list

  • If the product is already on Amazon (found by its barcode), your listing is added as an offer on it - just your price, stock and condition.
  • If not, it is made as a new product. Amazon wants different details for every kind of product, so the AI fills them in from your listing, Amazon checks them first, and only a listing Amazon accepts is sent.
  • New products can take a little while to go live while Amazon checks them. Your Seller Central inventory shows how it is going.
  • Each marketplace in its own language and money: the AI writes Amazon.de's title, bullet points and description in German, Amazon.co.jp's in Japanese. A price in pounds is shown in the marketplace's money at the day's exchange rate, rounded to a usual price ending - keep it or change it before you send.

Step by step

  1. Open Marketplaces

    In Flash Listings, go to My profile, then Marketplaces, and find Amazon.

  2. Choose where you sell

    Pick your Amazon marketplace - Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.com and the rest. Connect takes you to that country's own Seller Central.

  3. Press Connect with Amazon

    You are taken to Amazon. Sign in to Seller Central as usual - Flash Listings never sees your password.

  4. Approve access

    Amazon shows what Flash Listings may do for your account. Press Confirm, and you are brought back here.

  5. Choose your Amazon store

    Your store now shows in the shop picker at the top, with its name and an Amazon badge. Choose it to list, edit, see your Amazon sales and more. You can disconnect at any time from the same place.

  6. Selling on more than one Amazon

    One Amazon account covers a region - Europe (with the UK), the Americas, or Japan, Australia and Singapore. In Marketplaces, under Amazon, choose Sell on to switch to another marketplace in your region, such as Amazon.de beside Amazon.co.uk - no new sign-in. Your listings already on the first keep their stock in step.

If something goes wrong

Amazon says the app cannot be authorised

Sign in with the account that owns the business - its main login, not a user added to it - and make sure it is on the Professional selling plan.

Amazon needs a barcode (EAN)

Add the product's EAN to the listing. If your products have no barcode (your own brand, handmade), apply for a GTIN exemption in Seller Central.

Amazon would not accept it yet, and names a detail

Amazon wants something the listing did not say. Fill it in Amazon's details on the listing form and try again. Some categories also need Amazon's approval before you can sell in them.

Shopify

Your own online shop · takes about 10 minutes

Connect Shopify

You will need

  • Your Shopify store, and the login that owns it.
  • Your store's address - it ends .myshopify.com (Shopify admin, Settings, Domains).

When you list

  • Each listing is made as an active product with its title, description, photos, price and SKU, and put on your Online Store.
  • Its stock is set at your first location, and kept in step with your other marketplaces.

Step by step

  1. Note your store address

    In Shopify admin go to Settings, then Domains. Your .myshopify.com address is listed there.

  2. Open the Dev Dashboard

    Go to dev.shopify.com and sign in with the same Shopify login as your store. Press Create app and name it Flash Listings.

  3. Give it permission to add products and stock

    In the app's version settings, add the Admin API access scopes write_products, write_publications, write_inventory, read_locations, read_orders, read_reports, write_files, read_returns, read_shopify_payments_payouts, read_shopify_payments_accounts and read_shopify_payments_disputes. Save, and release the version. Orders are read for your sales figures, never who bought; reports give a product's visits; files let Touch-ups take a photo off a product; the last four tell you of returns, payouts and payment disputes, under the bell.

  4. Install it on your store

    Press Install app and choose your store.

  5. Copy the Client ID and Client secret

    In the app's Settings, copy both into Flash Listings's Settings, with your store address.

  6. Press Check and connect

    We check them with Shopify, then keep them. They are never shown again.

If something goes wrong

Shopify did not accept that client ID and secret

The app must be installed on this store, and created while signed in with this store's login. Check both, and that you copied the secret in full.

Shopify answered 403

The permissions in step 3 are not released yet. Release the version with those scopes, then try again.

Made in Shopify - tick Online Store

The product exists but is not on sale. Open it in Shopify and tick Online Store under sales channels.

Made in Shopify, but its stock is not tracked

Your app is missing the stock permissions. Add read_locations and write_inventory (step 3), release the version, then remove Shopify in Settings and connect it again.

Approving does not work

Use Or connect with keys instead: in WordPress go to WooCommerce, Settings, Advanced, REST API, press Add key, choose Read/Write, generate it and paste both keys.
