As you reach the final step of onboarding, it’s time to connect the remaining integrations for your primary channel. This integration is essential for automating key processes that streamline your operations, including:
- Publishing new or updated product content to your channel
- Syncing the latest pricing and quantity data to keep listings accurate
- Retrieving new orders from your channel for fulfillment
- Syncing shipments for orders that have been processed
These automated processes ensure that your inventory, orders, and product details stay up-to-date, enhancing efficiency and accuracy across your sales channels.

Channel Integrations
Channel integration automates essential tasks, such as publishing products, syncing inventory and pricing, retrieving new orders, and updating shipments. This keeps your listings and order data accurate and up-to-date across all sales channels.
×
Publish Listings
Publishing listings allows you to push any new product content that has changed since the last time they were published. This operation will either:
- Create a new product if it is unlinked
- Overwrite existing product content if it is linked to an existing listing
For more information on publishing listings, please see: Publishing Listings
Sync Orders
This syncs back order data to the platform. Currently, the main functionality supported by this operation is:
- Syncing back shipments for an order
- Sync back an acknowledgement once the order is imported into Flxpoint (supported by some integrations)
In the future, additional order life-cycle hooks may be added.
For more information on orders, please see: Orders
Sync Listings
Syncing listings allows any new price, quantity, and status (PQS) changes to be synced to the external channel. Syncing does not include product content. In addition to pushing new PQS data, this operation also allows any queued actions to:
-
Delist: completely deletes the listing from the external channel
-
Hide: does not delete the listing, but hides it on the external channel (i.e., usually means not visible for purchasing)
-
Unhide: if a listing is hidden, this will unhide it so it can be purchased again
Send Accounting Orders
Through the channel integration, Flxpoint allows you to send orders from your sales channel to QuickBooks.
For more information on configuring your QuickBooks integration, please see: Accounting & QuickBooks Online
Custom Export Operation
The Custom Export Operation allows you to export your current sales channel listings as a CSV (Comma Separated Values) or TSV (Tab Separated Values) file.
Note: This feature is available only for Pro users and is commonly used to pass data to third-party repricing tools, such as
Informed.co, for repricing Amazon listings.
This operation generates an HTTP link containing all your listings for the selected channel. You can use this link to download a file of your listings directly, which can be integrated with external software to automate pricing adjustments and other tasks.
Configuration Steps:
- Navigate to your Sales Channel settings.
- Find the Custom Export Operation and click Configure.
- Select your export preferences (CSV or TSV) and save the configuration.
- Once configured, an HTTP link will be generated for you to download the file of listings at any time.
