Migrating fromFlyp to PalmFlow
A guide on how to quickly switch from Flyp to PalmFlow.
Introduction
If you're considering moving from Flyp to PalmFlow, you're in the right place. Flyp auto-syncs its inventory from your marketplace listings — eBay connects through eBay's official API — which means your eBay store already holds your data and PalmFlow can import it directly. This guide maps the concepts and walks through the move.
Jump ahead
Background
- Flyp was founded around 2019 by James Kawas and Dani Arnaout, and raised a $10M Series A in 2022. It began as a consignment marketplace matching closets with pro sellers; the crosslisting tools grew out of that business and were free for years — Flyp now runs a 100-day free trial into a single $9/mo plan.
- Flyp's Crosslister is a Chrome extension. eBay connects by API; Poshmark, Mercari, Depop, and Facebook connect through your logged-in browser sessions. Orders refresh when you open or switch browser tabs, and auto-delist runs from the browser too.
- PalmFlow launched in 2026. It's a reseller operations platform — inventory, orders, cost basis, and P&L on server-side eBay, Shopify and Discogs sync. Nothing depends on a browser tab.
Concepts
Flyp is a listing distributor with light tracking; PalmFlow is the system of record. Here's the mapping.
| Concept | Flyp | PalmFlow |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory | Listings auto-synced in from your connected marketplaces — listing-centric, built from what's live. | An item database that exists apart from any marketplace — In stock → Listed → Sold, with bin locations, SLA, and a per-item timeline. |
| Sales | Orders refresh when you open or switch browser tabs; auto-delist then removes sold items elsewhere — while the browser is running. | eBay, Shopify and Discogs orders sync server-side with fees attached — no tabs, no awake computer. Other marketplaces are logged with the Sell flow. |
| Costs & profit | Sales analytics dashboard; no cost-of-goods tracking or P&L. | Per-item cost basis feeding a full P&L, plus an expenses ledger, goals, and tax reports. |
| Connections | eBay by API; other marketplaces through the Chrome extension riding your logged-in sessions. | eBay, Shopify and Discogs by API, server-side. No extension anywhere. |
| Crosslisting | The core feature — one listing pushed to Poshmark, eBay, Mercari, Depop, and more, plus a Poshmark sharing bot. | Not a PalmFlow feature today. PalmFlow syncs eBay, Shopify and Discogs instead of crossposting. |
Before you start
Short list, because Flyp built its inventory from your marketplaces rather than the other way round.
- Your eBay account credentials.
- Access to Flyp's analytics dashboard, if you want to bring sales history across.
- Your cost basis, from wherever you keep it — Flyp never tracked cost of goods, so it isn't in Flyp.
- A PalmFlow account. Step 1 works on Free; the CSV importers are part of Pro.
Moving your data
Flyp doesn't offer a documented inventory CSV export — but because it synced from your marketplaces in the first place, you don't need one. Your eBay store is the export.
- 1
Connect eBay to PalmFlow
These are the same listings Flyp was reading from, so this brings across everything Flyp knew about your eBay stock — and then some, because it carries fees on the orders.
- In PalmFlow, open Settings → Integrations.
- Find eBay and click Connect, then authorize on eBay's own sign-in page.
- Choose the eBay marketplace you sell on.
- Let the first sync finish — active listings land as items with titles, prices, and quantities.
- Connect Shopify the same way if you run a store.
This is also the moment the tab-dependency goes away. Flyp refreshed orders when you opened or switched a browser tab; PalmFlow's sync runs on our servers, so orders arrive with your laptop shut.

Bring your sales history, if you want it
Flyp's analytics dashboard can export sales data. It's worth ten minutes if you want a full year in your P&L from day one — and entirely skippable if you'd rather start clean and let history build from here.
- Open Flyp's analytics dashboard and export your sales data.
- Open the file and check it has a sale date and a sale price per row. Add a column headed platform if the marketplace isn't already named.
- In PalmFlow, go to Orders → Import CSV and choose the file.
- Read the preview, then confirm. Sold rows become real orders with price, platform, and date.
Import inventory before sales, so the imported sales have items to link back to. Sales files are capped at 2,000 rows — split a long history by year.

Add what Flyp never tracked
This is the actual upgrade. Flyp gave you analytics on revenue; costs are what turn that into profit, and Flyp had nowhere to put them.
- Add cost basis to your items — inline on the item, or in bulk by importing a sheet with a cost column and matching SKUs.
- Give your stock bin locations so you can find things: Inventory → an item → its location field.
- Import supplies, subscriptions, and shipping materials from Expenses → Import CSV.
A column headed plainly price is read as the sale price, not what you paid. Head the cost column cost, cogs, or purchase price so the importer files it correctly.

Check the numbers
A short reconcile before you decide what to do about Flyp.
- Open Reports and confirm the item count against eBay Seller Hub.
- Check last month's revenue against Flyp's analytics for the same period.
- Undo any import in one click from the result message if you want to adjust and rerun.
What transfers
What comes with you, and how.
| Your data | How it moves | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Active eBay listings | Connect eBay — imported with titles, prices, and quantities. This is most of the migration. | Moves automatically |
| New orders & fees | Sync server-side from the moment eBay is connected. | Moves automatically |
| Sales history | Export sales data from Flyp's analytics dashboard and import it from Orders → Import CSV. | Moves via CSV |
| Business expenses | Supplies, subscriptions, mileage — import a sheet or a card statement from Expenses → Import CSV. | Moves via CSV |
| Cost of goods | Flyp never tracked it. Add costs in PalmFlow — inline or via a CSV cost column. | Manual |
| Item photos | Photos sync automatically from your live eBay listings, on every plan. Items you never listed on eBay need photos added by hand. | Moves automatically |
| Poshmark / Mercari / Depop listings | They stay live on those marketplaces — PalmFlow doesn't manage them. Log those sales with the Sell flow. | Stays behind |
Flyp's Poshmark sharing bot has no PalmFlow equivalent — see the conclusion.
Anything you sold on eBay comes back on its own. Connect eBay, run Import past orders, and PalmFlow walks your history back two years — as far as eBay lets anyone go — with sale price, fees, and dates attached. You only need a CSV for sales made somewhere other than eBay.
Troubleshooting
The questions that actually come up partway through a move from Flyp.
There's no inventory export in Flyp. What am I missing?
Nothing — Flyp doesn't publish one. It's less of a problem than it sounds, because Flyp built its inventory by reading your marketplace listings, so connecting eBay to PalmFlow gets you to the same place from the same source.
My Poshmark and Mercari items didn't come over.
They wouldn't. PalmFlow syncs eBay, Shopify and Discogs only, so those listings stay live where they are. You can still hold the items in PalmFlow's inventory and log the sales with the Sell flow when they sell — the profit math stays whole even though the listing isn't connected.
Everything shows 100% profit.
That's no cost basis, which is expected — Flyp never had a cost-of-goods field to export. Add costs on the items, or import a sheet with SKU and cost columns to fill them in in bulk.
Should I cancel Flyp?
Not if Poshmark matters to you. Flyp's sharing bot and offers-to-likers have no PalmFlow equivalent and aren't planned. Running Flyp for Poshmark distribution and PalmFlow as the system of record for inventory and profit is a perfectly sensible setup.
Pricing
Let's be straightforward: Flyp is cheaper. The question is what the money buys. Prices as of July 2026.
| Flyp | PalmFlow | |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 100-day free trial, no card, no limits | Free plan — $0, 50 active items, forever |
| Paid | One plan — $9/mo, unlimited | Pro — $19.99/mo, 500 active items · Ultra — $39.99/mo, unlimited |
| What it buys | Crosslisting, Poshmark bot, browser-based auto-delist | Server-side eBay + Shopify + Discogs sync, cost basis + P&L, bin locations, teams, tax reports |
Flyp was fully free for years and now converts to $9/mo after the trial — pricing may still be settling.
PalmFlow annual billing drops Pro to $15.99 and Ultra to $31.99.
You get both. Every new PalmFlow account starts with 14 days of Pro — the full product, no credit card — and when it ends you drop onto the free plan and keep working, rather than losing access. Nothing expires and nothing asks for a card.
Conclusion
Flyp synced from your eBay store, so PalmFlow imports your business straight from the source — connect eBay, optionally bring your sales history, and add the cost tracking that turns rough analytics into a real P&L.
An honest caveat: if Poshmark is more than half your business, Flyp's sharing bot and offers-to-likers automation have no PalmFlow equivalent — many sellers keep Flyp for Poshmark distribution and run PalmFlow as the system of record for inventory and profit.
