Frequently Asked Questions

Does eBay integrate directly with Shopify? ▼

Yes, eBay has a native integration with Shopify. It is available directly within the eBay app marketplace.

Is the connection between eBay and Shopify secure? ▼

Yes. This integration typically uses OAuth 2.0, meaning you grant permission via a secure login window. You do not need to share your raw password, and you can revoke access at any time from your eBay security settings.

Is the sync one-way or two-way? ▼

This is typically a one-way sync: eBay → Shopify. Changes in Shopify do not sync back to eBay.

Will existing data in eBay sync to Shopify? ▼

Usually, no. Most native integrations are "forward-looking," meaning they only sync data created or updated *after* you activate the connection. To move historical data, you will likely need to perform a one-time CSV export/import manually.
