Marketplace

eBay

eBay is connected directly, with no platform in between. Offers are built from the Commerce Bundle and published on request; details maintained in eBay are kept when updating.

The seller account's items can be read back in the shape writing expects. You grant and renew access directly from the connection in ConFlowIO.

Building blocks

Seven building blocks for eBay

  • Write offersWrite

    Creates offers from the Commerce Bundle, updates them and publishes them on request. Details maintained in eBay are kept.

  • Prices and stockWrite

    A fast sync of price and stock for published offers.

  • Read itemsRead

    Reads the seller account's items back in the shape writing expects.

  • End offersWrite

    Ends sold-out offers without deleting them.

  • Read ordersRead

    Reads orders with items, processing state and shipping address.

  • Report shipmentWrite

    Reports the shipment of an order with its tracking number.

  • Free request

    For anything without a ready-made building block: a request to the API, using the stored credentials.

In practice

Two workflows with eBay

  1. Offers on the marketplace

    The same range that goes into the shop also goes onto eBay.

    1. Readarticles from Xentral or the supplier catalogue
    2. Maponto the Commerce Bundle
    3. Writeoffers on eBay, published on request
    4. Endsold-out offers, without deleting them

    The marketplace is one more target building block, not a second mapping.

  2. Orders into the ERP — and back

    eBay orders should reach the ERP without manual work, and the shipment get back to eBay.

    1. Triggera schedule
    2. Readorders from eBay
    3. Hand overas a sales order to Xentral
    4. Reportshipment with tracking number to eBay

    No order is re-entered by hand, none is created twice.
