Please note, the eBay integration Beta is currently closed.
Getting Started
If you have a sellers account on eBay you can link it to BinderPOS to synchronize all or a selection of your cataloged inventory. When items are sold on eBay the inventory will synchronize back into BinderPOS. eBay orders will appear in your Shopify orders where shipping can be purchased and applied; please note, however, that this integration is still in its Beta testing phase and is subject to changes and updates as it is tested and improved upon. All of that aside, the section below highlights a couple of pieces of information you will need in order to get started with integrating eBay into your store's BPOS.
