Common questions, answered
Quick answers to the questions our support inbox hears most — from spreadsheet imports and marketplace quirks to permission pop-ups and where to find a human when you need one.
Can I upload my inventory from a CSV or spreadsheet?
Yes. Open Products, click the actions menu, and choose Import from Excel/CSV. The importer accepts .csv, .xls, and .xlsx files and walks you through three quick steps:
- Map your columns— match each column in your file (SKU, title, price, condition, consignor account, location, …) to the ResaleOS field it belongs to. Not sure about the format? There's a Download example CSV button right in the modal.
- Map your values— if your file uses its own labels (say, a status column with “ACTIVE” or a condition column with “EUC”), you match each value to its ResaleOS equivalent once and the importer applies it to every row.
- Import — products are bulk-created (or updated), and any image URLs in the file are downloaded and saved to your account automatically.
The same importer lives on the Sales and Accountspages, so you can bring in past sales and consignor lists from spreadsheets too. And if you're moving from another consignment platform entirely, skip the spreadsheets — our free done-for-you migrations move everything for you.
Why do my Mercari listings always offer free shipping?
This one isn't a ResaleOS setting — it's a limitation of Mercari's public API. The only shipping method the API currently supports is seller-paid “ship on your own”, which buyers see as free shipping. Buyer-paid shipping and Mercari prepaid labels can't be set through the API at all, by any tool.
Until that changes, the practical fix is to bake your expected shipping cost into the item price for anything you cross-list to Mercari. We've asked Mercari to add the other shipping options to their API, and we'll support them the moment they exist.
Can US sellers connect Vinted?
Not yet. The ResaleOS Vinted integration runs on Vinted Pro, Vinted's program for business sellers — and Vinted currently only grants Pro API access to European sellers. If you run a European business account with Vinted Pro API access, you can connect it today under Settings → Sales channels using the access key and signing key from your Vinted Pro Integrations Portal.
We've asked Vinted to expand Pro access to US sellers, and we'll switch the connection on for US accounts as soon as they do. Want to be notified? Vote for it on What's new or drop us a line at info@resaleos.co.
Shopify says ResaleOS is missing permissions — how do I fix it?
If a pop-up in ResaleOS tells you your Shopify connection is missing permissions (for example to read products or orders), the fix is to re-install the app on your Shopify store so the new permissions actually take effect:
- Follow the steps in the pop-up to add the missing scopes to your Shopify app in the Shopify dev dashboard (create a new version with the scopes, then click Release).
- On the app's Overview page, open the install link and click through the approval screen on your store.
Releasing a new version alone isn't enough
Your store keeps the oldpermissions until you re-install via the install link and approve the new ones. Nothing is lost by re-installing — it doesn't disconnect anything or touch your data; it just re-approves the app with the updated permissions.
Can you backfill my past sales from a connected channel?
Yes — and you don't have to do anything technical. When you connect a sales channel, ResaleOS starts tracking sales from that point forward. If you'd like your earlier sales history in ResaleOS too — so reports, analytics, and consignor balances reflect the full picture — just email info@resaleos.co (or reach out from Dashboard → Help) and tell us which channel and how far back you'd like to go. We'll run the historical import for you.
Does ResaleOS import my eBay fees?
No — unfortunately eBay's API doesn't expose final value fees in a way we can reliably pull in per order, so imported eBay sales arrive without the fee eBay took. To keep your margins and consignor splits accurate, add the fee manually as a surcharge on the sale — surcharges deduct from the sale exactly the way a marketplace fee should, and can be split with the consignor or absorbed by the store.
New to surcharges? Here's how to add a surcharge — including how to set up a percentage-based one you can reuse on every eBay sale.
Is there an affiliate program? Can I share ResaleOS with a link?
Yes — every account comes with a built-in referral program. Open Refer & earn at the bottom of your dashboard sidebar (right above your account avatar) and hit Copy referral link. Share that link anywhere — a DM, social post, or email — and:
- They get 30% off their first year on any paid plan, stackable with other coupons.
- You earn a recurring monthly rewardfor as long as they stay subscribed — the amount varies by their plan, and it's paid out automatically once the ~30-day hold window passes. No clawbacks on rewards you've already earned.
The full details — hold windows, payout mechanics, what happens if a referral cancels — are in how the referral program works.

Mercari free shipping
A Mercari API limitation — seller-paid shipping is the only option. Price shipping into the item; we've asked Mercari to expand the API.
Vinted availability
Vinted Pro API access is Europe-only for now. We've asked Vinted to open it to US sellers.

Not importable via eBay's API — add them manually as surcharges to keep margins accurate.
Affiliate / referral link
Refer & earn in your sidebar — they get 30% off year one, you earn a recurring monthly reward while they stay subscribed.
