Connect eBay to invtri

Before you start

Besides your eBay seller account, you need an eBay Developers Program account. That is where the keys are made: the first step in eBay’s guide to creating them is to sign in to it¹.

Postage, payment and return policies come from your eBay account, so set them up in eBay before you connect.

Create a Production keyset

1. 1

   Open Application Keys

   Sign in to your eBay Developers Program account, go to the Application Keys page and enter a name for your application¹.

2. 2

   Create the keyset

   Under Production, click Create a keyset. It then appears on the Application Keys page and on your My Account dashboard¹.

3. 3

   Note the App ID and Cert ID

   Copy both from the Production keyset. invtri asks for them when you connect.

Create your RuName

1. 1

   Open User Tokens

   On the Application Keys page, click User Tokens next to the Client ID for Production, then open Get a Token from eBay via Your Application².

2. 2

   Add a redirect URL

   If eBay says “You have no Redirect URLs. Click here to add one.”, click the link. Confirm the legal address for your business or primary contact, then choose Continue to create RuName².

3. 3

   Fill in the details

   eBay asks for a Display Title, which appears on its Grant Application Access page, a Privacy Policy URL, an Auth Accepted URL and an Auth Declined URL². For the addresses to use, check your invtri onboarding manual or email [email protected].

4. 4

   Copy the Production RuName

   Each application gets one RuName for Sandbox and one for Production, and tokens work only in the environment they were made for². Copy the Production one.
