How to publish Odoo products on eBay

Connect your eBay seller account and your Odoo database to NexxoSync and turn on the Publish flow from Odoo to eBay: each new product is listed with a suggested category, the item specifics eBay requires and its variations. Stock and prices then follow Odoo, and every eBay sale comes back as an Odoo sales order, ready to invoice.

Before you start

What you need.

  • An eBay seller account with business policies (shipping, payment, returns) and an inventory location.
  • Your Odoo URL, database, a user and an API key for that user.
  • An internal reference (SKU) on each product and variant.
Step by step

The setup.

  1. Connect eBay

    One click: you choose the eBay site, sign in to eBay and authorize NexxoSync. Tokens are renewed automatically.

    1. In NexxoSync, go to Connections, choose eBay and the site you sell on (eBay.com, eBay.co.uk, eBay.es, eBay.de…).
    2. Click “Connect with eBay” and sign in with your seller account.
    3. Approve access. To publish, your account needs business policies (shipping, payment, returns) and an inventory location.

  2. Connect Odoo

    Odoo has no central app store login: you connect with your Odoo URL, database, user and API key. An optional module adds real-time notifications.

    1. In Odoo, create an API key for the user NexxoSync will act as.
    2. In NexxoSync, go to Connections, choose Odoo and enter the URL, database, user and API key.
    3. Optional: download the NexxoSync Connector module, install it in Odoo and paste the token NexxoSync shows you.

  3. Create the integration

    Create an integration between eBay and Odoo. The wizard asks where your catalog lives and where sales are recorded, and proposes a table of flows: one row per kind of data, each with its own direction.

  4. Set the flows

    Turn on these rows. The others can stay off, or be set to your case: directions a platform's API doesn't allow are disabled, with the reason.

    • Publish new products: Odoo → eBay. Off by default. Turn it on to create listings for new products.
    • Stock: Odoo → eBay. Per variation, in batches.
    • Prices: Odoo → eBay. Optionally with a markup to cover eBay's fees.
    • Orders: eBay → Odoo. Each eBay sale becomes an Odoo sales order, ready to invoice.

  5. Link your products

    NexxoSync proposes links between both catalogs by SKU: confirm them. Products without a SKU can be linked by hand. Only linked products are synced. Products that only exist in Odoo are created in eBay by the Publish flow, which is off by default.

  6. Simulate and turn it on

    Simulate the stock, price and customer flows to see every change they would make, without writing anything. Then turn the integration on: flows run on every change where the platform sends notifications, with a scheduled run as a safety net, and every run is recorded in the history.

Good to know

Tips from real setups.

  • Publish is off by default: turn it on when the catalog is ready.
  • If the eBay site uses another currency, the Prices flow can convert it with Odoo's daily rate and add a markup to cover eBay's fees.
  • When a delivery is validated in Odoo, its tracking number goes back to eBay.
