Sync & Link Listings

This feature keeps your GunBroker listings in sync with Flxpoint, ensuring your prices and stock levels are always up to date.

Mapping Rules

Mapping rules help connect your GunBroker listings to Flxpoint inventory. Here’s an example to guide you:

Product Categories

Align your Flxpoint categories with GunBroker’s structure. Here’s a sample setup:

Zero Quantity Handling

If a product’s quantity reaches 0, GunBroker will delist it automatically. Here’s how to bring it back:

Add stock in Flxpoint to update the quantity.
Run the sync operation to update GunBroker.
The listing will relist with the new quantity.

Linking Priority

Decide how to match your Flxpoint listings to GunBroker listings by setting the priority of linking fields. You can now use SKU, UPC, or GTIN in the configuration settings:

- SKU: Your unique Flxpoint ID. Fastest and most reliable.
- UPC: A 12-digit barcode for retail products. Great for consistency.
- GTIN: A global ID (like UPC or EAN). More flexible but slower.

In the “Configure Settings” tab, drag and drop to set the order of priority (e.g., try Listing Variant SKU first, then GunBroker Variant GTIN). The channel is set to GunBroker Channel, and the default is SKU, but you can change it to UPC or GTIN.

When selecting any field other than SKU for GunBroker Listings, it will take considerably more time to perform this operation.
