Sales Detection & Delisting

Shopfront automatically detects when items sell and removes them from your other channels. No manual tracking, no overselling.

Shopfront monitors your connected marketplaces and detects sales automatically. When something sells on one channel, it's removed from the others — preventing overselling on one-of-a-kind items.

How Sales Detection Works

The detection method varies by channel:

Two-phase polling approach:

  1. Quick check — A lightweight public request checks if your listing is still active
  2. Verification — Only if a sale is detected, an authenticated call confirms the order details

This minimises load on your marketplace accounts and avoids unnecessary credential usage.

Polls the eBay Orders API for recent paid orders. When a new order is found, it's matched to your Shopfront listings automatically.

Real-time webhooks — no polling delay. Sales are detected instantly when an order is placed. Always real-time, regardless of plan.

Polling Frequency

How often Shopfront checks for sales depends on your plan:

PlanFrequency
FreeEvery 12 hours
ProEvery hour
PremiumEvery 10 minutes

Shopify is always real-time, regardless of plan.

Cross-Channel Delisting

When a sale is detected:

  1. The item is marked as Sold in your dashboard
  2. An order record is created with buyer and sale details
  3. The listing is automatically removed from all other connected channels

Both sales detection and cross-channel delisting can be toggled independently from SettingsSeller Operations.
