Sales detection and delisting
Quick answer
Owners and admins can turn on Enable Sales Detection in Settings → Marketplaces → Settings to check eBay, Depop, Grailed and Vestiaire Collective for sales on your plan's schedule; Shopify sales arrive automatically when the connection has order access. Cross-Channel Delisting then removes a sold item from your other channels.
How do I turn on sales detection?
Open Settings → Marketplaces → Settings.
Turn on Enable Sales Detection.
Turn on Cross-Channel Delisting as well if you want Shopfront to remove a sold item from your other channels.
Cross-Channel Delisting can only be turned on while Enable Sales Detection is on. Turning sales detection off also turns cross-channel delisting off.
Owners and admins only
Only owners and admins can change these switches.
Which sales does Shopfront detect?
- eBay, Depop, Grailed and Vestiaire Collective: Enable Sales Detection controls scheduled checks of these marketplaces. With it off, Shopfront doesn't check them for sales.
- Shopify: Shopify sends each order to Shopfront as it happens, whatever your plan and even with Enable Sales Detection off, when the connection has order access (the
read_ordersscope). A connection without it runs in listing-only mode, so Shopfront doesn't see Shopify sales. See Shopify connection. - Facebook Marketplace: sales detection doesn't check Facebook Marketplace.
If a sale isn't recorded, use Mark as → Sold on the product. See Delist or mark as sold.
How often does Shopfront check for sales?
Scheduled checks of eBay, Depop, Grailed and Vestiaire Collective depend on your plan:
| Plan | Checks |
|---|---|
| Free | Every 12 hours |
| Pro | Every hour |
| Premium | Every 30 minutes |
| Premium Plus | Every 10 minutes |
The Sales Detection card in Settings → Marketplaces → Settings shows when Shopfront last checked and whether your eBay, Depop and Grailed connections are working.
What happens when a sale is detected?
Shopfront records the order and marks the item sold, unless the listing that sold still has units left (see Stock and quantities). Recorded sales appear in Insights.
If Cross-Channel Delisting is on, Shopfront also delists the item from your other channels. This applies to Shopify sales too.
A sold item can stay live
Check the product's channel statuses after a sale: if a marketplace connection needs attention, a listing can stay live until you fix it or delist it yourself.
See Billing and usage limits for plan details.
Price suggestions
Price Suggestions compare your item with similar listings' asking prices and suggest a price. Review it on the product's Market tab; changing the price in Shopfront doesn't update a live listing until you apply the change to that marketplace.
Offers
Open Offers to see buyer offers from eBay, Depop and Grailed from the last 30 days, grouped by product, and accept, counter or decline them. Grailed has no decline, and offers on other marketplaces don't appear in Shopfront.
