Shopify Onbuy Integration

Sync OnBuy orders, products and inventory with Shopify

Connect your Shopify store to OnBuy for automatic product, order, and inventory sync across the UK and EU markets.

Sell on OnBuy Directly from Your Shopify Store

OnBuy is one of the UK’s fastest-growing marketplaces, with over 150 million pounds in sales in 2024 and expansion into 12 European countries. We’re building a Shopify integration that will let you manage your OnBuy business without leaving your Shopify admin. Product listings, orders, inventory, and pricing: all synchronized automatically.

The app is currently in development. Sign up below to get notified when it launches.

What We’re Building

Product Sync

Push your Shopify products to OnBuy using your existing product data. Titles, descriptions, images, pricing, and variants will map to OnBuy listings. Update a product in Shopify and the change syncs to OnBuy. No manual duplicate entry across platforms. Learn more →

Order Sync

OnBuy orders will import directly into your Shopify admin. Fulfill them using your existing workflow: pick, pack, ship, add tracking. The tracking information syncs back to OnBuy automatically so customers can follow their delivery. Learn more →

Real-time Inventory Sync

Stock levels will stay synchronized between Shopify and OnBuy. A sale on either platform immediately adjusts the available quantity on the other. Restocks, returns, and manual adjustments in Shopify all propagate to OnBuy. No more overselling. Learn more →

Price Sync

Keep your OnBuy prices in sync with Shopify. When you change a price in Shopify, the update pushes to your OnBuy listing. Useful for sales, seasonal pricing, or cost adjustments you need reflected across both platforms.

UK and EU Markets

OnBuy is live in the UK and 12 European countries including Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands. The integration will support all OnBuy markets from a single Shopify store and a single OnBuy seller account. Learn more →

Fulfillment and Tracking

When you ship an OnBuy order from Shopify, the carrier and tracking number sync back to OnBuy. Customers get their tracking details on the OnBuy platform. Your seller metrics stay healthy because dispatch confirmations are sent on time.

GTIN/Barcode Matching

OnBuy requires GTINs (barcodes) for every listing. The integration will use your Shopify product barcodes to match and create OnBuy listings. Products are matched by barcode, keeping your catalog consistent across both platforms.

Sync Logs

Every sync action will be logged with clear status messages. See what synced, when, and troubleshoot any issues without guessing what went wrong.

Why OnBuy?

Lower Fees

OnBuy charges category-based commissions from 5% to 15%, with most categories between 5% and 9%. No listing fees. No per-item charges. Subscriptions start at 25 pounds per month. See how OnBuy compares to Amazon →

No Competing with the Marketplace

Unlike Amazon, OnBuy doesn’t sell its own products. There are no private-label brands competing for the same customers. OnBuy makes money from seller commissions, so its incentives are aligned with yours.

Organic Rankings

OnBuy has no sponsored listings or pay-per-click advertising. Products rank based on price, seller rating, and delivery speed. You compete on merit, not on ad spend.

Growing Fast

Over 36 million products. More than 11,000 active sellers. 3.5 million monthly visits. 50% year-over-year sales growth in early 2025. OnBuy is targeting 1 billion pounds in total GMV within three years, backed by European expansion across 12 countries.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will the app be available?

The app is currently in development. Sign up for notifications to be the first to know when it launches.

What do I need to get started with OnBuy?

You’ll need an OnBuy seller account (apply at onbuy.com), which requires a registered business, at least 50 positive reviews on an existing selling platform, and GTINs for your products. OnBuy’s subscription starts at 25 pounds per month plus VAT.

Can I sell on OnBuy’s European markets?

Yes. OnBuy is live in 12 EU countries including Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands. One seller account covers all markets. You’ll need a returns solution and potentially VAT registration for each country you sell in.

How does OnBuy compare to Amazon for sellers?

OnBuy charges lower commissions (5-15% vs 8-15%), has no sponsored listings, and doesn’t compete with sellers through private-label products. The trade-off is a smaller audience. We cover the full comparison in our OnBuy vs Amazon article.

Do I need barcodes for my products?

Yes. OnBuy requires GTINs (barcodes) for every product listing. If your Shopify products already have barcodes assigned, they’ll work for OnBuy. Products without barcodes cannot be listed.

Who handles fulfillment?

You do. OnBuy doesn’t have a fulfillment service like Amazon’s FBA. Sellers handle their own shipping or use third-party logistics providers. For Shopify sellers already fulfilling their own orders, this means no change to your existing workflow.

What are OnBuy’s fees?

OnBuy charges a monthly subscription (Standard at 25 pounds, Partner at 69 pounds, or Professional at 249 pounds, all plus VAT) and a category-based commission on sales (5-15%, most categories 5-9%). There are no listing fees or per-item charges.
