Migrating fromFlippd to PalmFlow

Introduction

If you're considering moving from Flippd to PalmFlow, you're in the right place. Flippd is a well-made, cheap, phone-native reseller tracker, and it exports everything it holds — inventory, sales, expenses, and mileage — which makes this a clean four-file migration. This guide maps the concepts and walks the move step by step.

Background

• Flippd is a reseller inventory and profit app built mobile-first: native on iPhone, iPad, and Android, with a full web app alongside, syncing across all of them.
• It covers eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, Depop, and Facebook Marketplace, with per-marketplace fee calculators. eBay listings and sales sync automatically on the Pro plan; other marketplaces are entered by hand.
• PalmFlow launched in 2026. It's a reseller operations platform — inventory, orders, cost basis, and P&L on server-side eBay and Shopify sync, with bin locations, per-status SLA, teams, and an audit log.

Concepts

Flippd and PalmFlow model the same business. The differences are depth on one side and price on the other.

Before you start

Flippd's export is straightforward, so the preparation is mostly about deciding how much history to take.

• A Flippd login — the export is under Settings, and it's easier from the web app than the phone.
• Your eBay account credentials.
• A PalmFlow account. The CSV importers are part of Pro.
• A sense of how far back you want to go. Flippd's export lets you pick a year, a quarter, or a custom range, and PalmFlow's sales and expense importers cap at 2,000 rows per file — year-sized chunks suit both.

Moving your data

Flippd exports four things and PalmFlow has a home for all four. Take them one at a time, in this order.

1. 1

   Export your data from Flippd

   Flippd's export lives in Settings and lets you choose both the range and the format. You want CSV, not PDF — PDF is for your accountant, CSV is for the move.

   1. Open Flippd and go to Settings → Export.
   2. Select your date range — a year, a quarter, or a custom range.
   3. Export as CSV rather than PDF.
   4. Take all four exports: inventory, sales, expenses, and mileage.
   5. Open each file once and confirm the cost, price, and date columns actually have values.

   The web app is easier for this than the phone, and you'll want the files on the machine you'll import from anyway.

2. 2

   Connect eBay to PalmFlow

   If you were on Flippd Pro, eBay was already syncing for you — this moves that connection rather than adding one. If you were on Free, this is new, and it's the biggest single upgrade in the move.

   1. In PalmFlow, open Settings → Integrations.
   2. Find eBay and click Connect, then authorize on eBay's own sign-in page.
   3. Choose the eBay marketplace you actually sell on.
   4. Let the first sync finish — active listings arrive as items with titles, prices, and quantities.
   5. Connect Shopify the same way if you run a store.

   eBay sync is on every PalmFlow plan including Free, where Flippd reserved it for Pro. Worth knowing if you were staying on Flippd's free tier to avoid the subscription.

3. 3

   Import inventory

   Inventory first, so the sales you import next have items to link back to.

   1. Go to Inventory → Import CSV and choose your Flippd inventory file.
   2. Read the preview: new items, sold rows becoming orders, duplicates it will skip, and every column matched or ignored.
   3. Confirm your cost column is matched — PalmFlow reads cost, cogs, purchase price, and cost of goods as the same field.
   4. Confirm the import.

   Flippd doesn't track bin locations. If you know where things are, add a column headed location before importing — PalmFlow creates each location for you as it reads the file, which is far faster than assigning them afterward.

4. 4

   Import sales, expenses, and mileage

   The other three files go to the two remaining importers, and both show a dry-run preview before writing anything.

   1. Import the sales file from Orders → Import CSV. Add a column headed platform if the file doesn't name the marketplace per row — that's what makes your reports break down by channel.
   2. Import expenses from Expenses → Import CSV. Categories PalmFlow doesn't recognize are created for you.
   3. Import mileage the same way, through Expenses → Import CSV.
   4. Split anything over 2,000 rows by year.
5. 5

   Check the numbers

   Flippd gave you profit figures you already trust, which makes reconciling straightforward.

   1. Open Reports and set the range to last quarter.
   2. Compare revenue, cost of goods, and profit against Flippd's numbers for the same range.
   3. Spot-check a Poshmark or Mercari sale, since those were hand-entered on both sides.
   4. Undo any import in one click from the result message if something needs fixing.

Troubleshooting

The questions that actually come up partway through a move from Flippd.

Pricing

Flippd is cheaper, and it's worth being straight about that. The question is what the difference buys. Prices as of July 2026.

Flippd is genuinely good value at $9.99, and native mobile apps are a real advantage. Compare on what you need rather than on the headline number.

PalmFlow annual billing drops Pro to $15.99 and Ultra to $31.99.

Conclusion

Four exports, one eBay connection, three imports. Flippd holds everything you need to leave with, which is more than most tools can say — take inventory, sales, expenses, and mileage, reconcile against last quarter, and you're running with the warehouse layer on top.

An honest caveat: Flippd is cheaper and its native iOS and Android apps beat a web app on a phone. If you source with your phone in one hand and you don't need bins, teams, or an audit trail, Flippd may simply be the better fit. Switch when the operation outgrows a tracker — several people touching stock, real storage locations, and reports someone else has to read.
