This is an article to document how I connect a Zoho Creator app to push a product to your eBay listings. By writing this article, I can refine this method as it took me a while to figure out.
Why?
I have a client who has a Zoho Creator app and wants to push their products to their eBay account. Previously using Zoho Inventory, we realized that this only syncs 1 way not 2 as per the documentation. In that items sold on eBay sync to Zoho Inventory by means of an eBay Sales Order, and only every 4 hours. We needed something that pushes out to eBay and updates the eBay listing. To complicate matters, the client also uses Shopify which means that when an item is sold by eBay, it would take 4 hours until all systems were aware. 1 customer buying the item off eBay and another customer buying the same item off Shopify would be problematic if the client only has 1 of the item in stock. See my Shopify article to get a webhook response within 5 seconds.
How?
At the time of print, the Trading API of eBay is deprecated and reaches end of life at the end of this year (2021). In this demonstration, we're going to use the Listings API, follow the OAuth 2.0 process to get an access token and use it to create an eBay listing.
