Shopify Sales Channel

Falabella/Linio is available as a Shopify Sales Channel. Through this integration, you can join our marketplace in Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru no matter where you are in the world. It is really easy to manage your whole product catalog and fulfill orders, and all of that without leaving your Shopify store.

With Shopify and the Falabella/Linio Sales Channel, you can:

  1. Manage your catalog: The App will push all your enabled products into our marketplace, by creating or updating them in Seller Center. You can set your product's attributes individually or massively by importing them into a CSV.
  2. Order processing: The orders created at our marketplace will be automatically reflected in Shopify. You can process orders using preselected shipment providers and get print-ready documents inside Shopify, or use your own shipment provider.
  3. Stock synchronized automatically: The App is designed to have a synchronous real-time connection between both systems in order to update stock on both sides each time a user updates it's stock manually or when order is created.
