Marketplace expansion

Keep Epos Now stock and eBay in sync.

Connect eBay through WooCommerce with a compatible marketplace service that sends Woo stock to eBay and creates complete eBay orders in WooCommerce.

WooCommerce is the bridge; a compatible eBay service connects the final channel.

Why connect eBay

Keep fixed-price and auction sales tied to real stock.

eBay gives retailers access to a large marketplace audience, but maintaining its listings separately from store and website inventory creates a real overselling risk.

This setup combines a compatible WooCommerce to eBay plugin or service with the Slynk Epos Now WooCommerce integration. The marketplace service must publish WooCommerce stock to eBay and create eBay sales as complete WooCommerce orders with the correct prices, quantities and taxes.

The connection model

WooCommerce joins the two sync services.

Your marketplace plugin owns the WooCommerce and eBay connection. Slynk owns the WooCommerce and Epos Now connection. The shared WooCommerce order and stock records complete the loop.

Supported setup

How it works

One stock figure can serve store, web and eBay.

The supported setup removes the need to correct marketplace availability by hand after every store sale or delivery.

  • Epos Now stock changes reach eBay listings
  • eBay orders are created in WooCommerce
  • Marketplace sales return to Epos Now
  • Availability stays aligned across all three platforms

Listings receive current stock

Slynk moves Epos Now stock to WooCommerce, then the marketplace plugin publishes the updated quantity to eBay.

eBay orders reach WooCommerce

The marketplace service creates each eBay sale as a WooCommerce order with the correct prices, quantities and taxes, giving Slynk a dependable order to process.

Epos Now keeps the full sales picture

Slynk creates the corresponding Epos Now sale so stock, sales reporting and in-store operations remain aligned.

Before you begin

What the eBay service must handle.

There are several plugin and service options. The provider is compatible when it handles both marketplace orders and stock in the required directions. Check your preferred service with us before setup.

Complete WooCommerce orders

Every eBay order must be created in WooCommerce with the correct products, prices, quantities and taxes before Slynk processes it.

Stock sent from WooCommerce

The marketplace service must publish and continue syncing WooCommerce stock levels to the matching eBay listings.

Plan the right route

Check your eBay service and product setup with us.

Tell us which plugin or service you use or are considering. We will confirm whether its WooCommerce orders and stock sync meet the integration requirements before anything is switched on.
