This document describes how to set up Buy.com integration within Linnworks. Here can find information about what functions Linnworks can perform while working with Buy.com and how to configure this channel.

Setting up the Buy.com integration

The Buy.com integration allows the system to:

• Automatically download new orders from Buy.com
• Mark orders as despatched on Buy.com
• Send out conformation emails to Buy.com customers
• Automatically adjust inventory
  • Upon updating inventory Buy.com requires price, shipping setting and condition, therefore these properties are stored in Linnworks

To setup the Buy.com integration go to: Settings -> Channel integration. From this screen you can add, delete and modify selling channels that you wish Linnworks works to integrate with.

Click the Add new channel button on the right of the screen to bring up the new channel selection screen. Click the “Integrate” button next to the Buy.com Channel.

You will then be presented with the Buy.com Account integration screen

• Account name – This is the name of your channel on Buy.com or your reference to the channel
