Glossary
A quick guide to the terms you'll see in Shopfront—what they mean, and what (if anything) you need to do.
Status
| Term | Description |
|---|---|
| Live | Your item is successfully listed and visible on the marketplace. No action needed. |
| Processing | Your listing is being published to the selected marketplaces. This usually takes a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the platform. |
| Error | Something went wrong while trying to list your item. You'll see a short message explaining why (e.g., missing info, duplicate listing, category error). Click into the listing to edit and retry. |
| Pending Sync | The listing is waiting to sync updates (like price or inventory) to one or more marketplaces. This can happen after editing or reconnecting a marketplace. |
| Delisted | Your item has been removed from one or more marketplaces—usually because it sold elsewhere or was manually removed. |
| Draft | A saved but unpublished listing. Use drafts to build listings ahead of time—great for batching or testing. |
Feature
| Term | Description |
|---|---|
| Marketplace | Any platform you're selling on—like eBay, Depop, Grailed, Facebook, etc. You can manage them all from within Shopfront. |
| AI Description / Title | Generated suggestions for your item’s title, description, tags, and price—based on the image you provide. You can edit anything before listing. |
| Chrome Extension | A browser add-on that helps Shopfront work with platforms like Depop, Grailed, and Facebook. Required for some marketplaces to list and sync properly. Keep it installed and up to date. |
| Multi-Marketplace Listing | Create one listing and publish it to multiple platforms at once—saving time and reducing double-handling. |
| Relist | Post an item again that was previously delisted (e.g., if a buyer didn’t pay or you removed it temporarily). |
Inventory
| Term | Description |
|---|---|
| Connected Marketplace | A marketplace account that’s been linked to Shopfront. Required for listing, inventory syncing, and auto-delisting. |
| Inventory Sync | Keeps your stock levels updated across all marketplaces. If an item sells on one platform, it’s automatically removed from the others. Can take a few minutes to update. |
| Delisting | The automatic removal of an item from other platforms once it sells—helps avoid overselling (coming soon). Manual delisting within Shopfront is available. |
| Auto-Sync | Shopfront automatically updates your listings when you edit details, adjust stock, or make a sale. |
