Then, proceed to log in to your eBay account and grant LitCommerce access so the app can integrate with eBay. <img width="1414" height="794" decoding="async" class="wp-image-33074" src="https://litcommerce.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/step-1.7.webp" alt="woocommerce to ebay" /> Once you have successfully connected your WooCommerce store to eBay, the system will redirect you to the LitCommerce dashboard. <img width="1305" height="628" decoding="async" class="wp-image-33077" src="https://litcommerce.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/ezgif.com-gif-maker-2.webp" alt="sell on woocommerce and ebay" /> <h3>#Step 2: List products on eBay</h3> It is possible to bulk import from eBay to WooCommerce on LitCommerce in just a few minutes. From the left-side menu bar, navigate to All Products. <img width="2011" height="988" decoding="async" class="wp-image-33079" src="https://litcommerce.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/ezgif.com-gif-maker-3.webp" alt="sell on woocommerce and ebay" /> On the top right corner, click Import from WooCommerce to upload all current products on your WooCommerce store to LitCommerce. <img width="1440" height="644" decoding="async" class="wp-image-33080" src="https://litcommerce.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/ezgif.com-gif-maker-4.webp" alt="sell on woocommerce and ebay" /> If you have sold on eBay for a while, some existing products and imported listings may have the same SKU in the central catalog after you import from eBay to WooCommerce or vice versa into LitCommerce. Unluckily, this situation may cause product duplication, which you can avoid by linking WooCommerce to eBay. When the product import is completed, you can freely list all products or certain ones on eBay by clicking the boxes next to the items. Then, above the product table, click on the List Products on Channel dropdown menu and choose your eBay store. <img width="786" height="550" decoding="async" class="wp-image-33081" src="https://litcommerce.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/ezgif.com-gif-maker-5.webp" alt="sell woocommerce products on ebay" /> The system will then create draft listings and sort the chosen products there. You need to navigate to Etsy from the left-side menu bar to access the draft listings. <h4>Edit draft listing</h4> There, you can edit your listing attributes, namely title, descriptions, images, prices, and quantities, before publishing them on eBay up for sale. Notably, you can expedite the process by applying <a style="color: #4a4aff;" href="https://help.litcommerce.com/en/article/templates-and-recipes-1ging68/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">templates and recipes</a> instead of editing each product. Being a set of options associated with product attributes, templates can be applied to multiple listings and save you time on manual editing. They apply to such attributes as Shipping, Category, Price, and Title. Go to the dropdown menu of Select Action and choose to Publish to eBay and Action. The published listings will then move to the Active tab. It is possible to create listings between WooCommerce and eBay back and forth. <h3>#Step 3: Turn on WooCommerce eBay sync</h3> WooCommerce eBay sync is among LitCommerce’s prominent features in the process in that you can synchronize inventory volumes, prices, and orders. In your eBay window, go to Channel Settings beside Import from WooCommerce. You will see 3 sections there: Pricing, Inventory, and Order. Click on the switches under the features you would like to enable and confirm. <ul> <h4>Pricing synchronization</h4> </ul> With this feature, you can automatically update all pricing changes from WooCommerce on eBay. Additionally, LitCommerce even makes it achievable to set your own pricing rules. Whichever way you want to display your prices on eBay, clarify the specific adjustments, and they will automatically change accordingly. <img width="1387" height="363" decoding="async" class="wp-image-33063" src="https://litcommerce.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/pricing-sync-1.webp" alt="integrate pricing woocommerce to ebay" /> It entails decreasing and increasing by either an amount or a percentage, and the rules will apply to all eBay listings after you save the changes. <ul> <h4>Inventory synchronization</h4> </ul> Besides pricing, LitCommerce allows you to update your stock quantities between WooCommerce and eBay when you receive new orders. Similarly, you can create certain inventory rules to instantly adjust the displayed quantity on eBay in line with those on WooCommerce. Once you enable this feature, you can edit a particular quantity, together with the minimum and maximum amounts you want to sell on eBay. The system will adjust the inventory quantity in the central catalog, then on eBay subsequently, to stay consistent with that on WooCommerce. <img width="1388" height="510" decoding="async" class="wp-image-33064" src="https://litcommerce.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/inventory-sync.webp" alt="integrate inventory woocommerce with ebay" /> A word of caution here: You can only make updates on WooCommerce for this feature to work instead of on eBay. <ul> <h4>Order synchronization</h4> </ul> Store owners can also prevent overselling by turning the order sync feature on to display the correct product quantity on each channel. The amounts will then decrease equally for all channels to match when customers place new orders. <img width="1422" height="175" decoding="async" class="wp-image-33065" src="https://litcommerce.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/order-sync.webp" alt="integrate woocommerce with ebay" /> You can manage and fulfill eBay orders on your LitCommerce dashboard as the system has collected and imported from eBay to WooCommerce. If you want to handle orders separately, you can disregard this feature. Once you are satisfied with the settings you have made, click Save Setting at the bottom of the screen window to save them all and proceed with the next steps. Notably, you don’t need to find any WooCommerce eBay sync plugin to get your job done. Within a tool, you can sync and manage every data easily and effortlessly. <h3>#Step 4: Manage eBay Orders</h3> After enabling the order sync feature, you can see all order details on your LitCommerce dashboard, which supports your order management and fulfillment. Go to Orders on your left-side navigation menu on the dashboard. <img width="2011" height="988" decoding="async" class="wp-image-33082" src="https://litcommerce.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/ezgif.com-gif-maker-6.webp" alt="sell woocommerce products on ebay" /> Such important information as order dates, statuses, channel numbers, and buyers’ names will appear on the window. It will act as your order management center to keep track of the orders you receive from all sales channels. <img width="1024" height="640" decoding="async" class="wp-image-33083" src="https://litcommerce.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/ezgif.com-gif-maker-7.webp" alt="manage ebay orders" /> Unlocking new sales channels can be a daunting task for any eCommerce seller.
