By the FLUXLIO team · Updated
FLUXLIO is a comprehensive dropshipping automation platform designed to streamline every aspect of your online business. From sourcing products to monitoring stock and fulfilling orders, FLUXLIO does the heavy lifting so you can focus on growth.
This guide covers everything you need to know to get started and master the platform. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro, you'll find detailed instructions on how to leverage FLUXLIO's powerful features to maximize your efficiency and profit.
Getting Started
Setting up your FLUXLIO account is the first step toward automation. After signing up for your 7-day free trial (no credit card required), you will be greeted by the Dashboard.
The Dashboard provides a bird's-eye view of your business, showing recent orders, active listings, and profit trends. Before you can start selling, you need to configure your basic settings and connect your first sales channel.
- Complete your profile information.
- Set your default currency and location.
- Install the FLUXLIO Chrome extension for seamless importing.
- Explore the navigation menu to familiarize yourself with the platform.
Connect a Supplier
FLUXLIO supports a wide range of global suppliers, including Amazon, AliExpress, Walmart, Cdiscount, vidaXL, Banggood, SHEIN, and Etsy. Unlike other tools, FLUXLIO does not require you to link your personal supplier accounts directly.
Instead, you import products by simply providing a link to the product page, an ASIN (for Amazon), or by using our Chrome extension while browsing the supplier's website. This method keeps your supplier accounts secure while allowing for rapid product sourcing.
Amazon & AliExpress
Copy the URL of any product and paste it into FLUXLIO. We support all regional domains (.com, .fr, .de, etc.).
Specialized Suppliers
For suppliers like vidaXL or Cdiscount, ensure you are on the individual product page before copying the link.
CSV Imports
If you have a list of products, you can upload a CSV file with one URL or ID per line for bulk processing.
Connect a Selling Channel
To sell products, you need to connect your store. FLUXLIO supports multiple platforms with varying connection methods.
Go to the 'Sales channels' page in your app settings to manage your connections.
eBay
Connect via the official eBay login. You can link multiple eBay accounts to manage them all from one FLUXLIO dashboard. Ensure your seller account is fully set up on eBay before connecting.
Shopify, WooCommerce & Wix
These platforms connect via API keys. You will need to generate these keys in your store's admin panel and paste them into the Sales channels page in FLUXLIO.
Leboncoin
Connection is handled via our Chrome extension, which assists in form filling to publish your listings quickly.
How to Import Products
- Navigate to the 'Products' section or click the 'Add Product' button.
- Choose your import method: URLs/IDs, CSV Upload, or Manual.
- If using URLs, paste one link per line in the text area.
- Select the Marketplace/Region you are targeting (e.g., EBAY_FR).
- Choose your action: 'Add as draft', 'Publish', or 'Schedule posting'.
- FLUXLIO will automatically fetch product details, images, and pricing.
- Review the imported data. FLUXLIO's AI will suggest the best category and optimize the title.
- Save the product to your 'Drafts' or proceed to publishing.
How to Publish Products
Once a product is in your 'Drafts', you can publish it to your connected store. Publishing transfers all the product information, including high-quality images and descriptions, to your sales channel.
You can publish items individually or use bulk actions to launch multiple products at once. FLUXLIO ensures that your listings meet the specific requirements of each platform, such as eBay's category structures or Shopify's tag system.
How to Manage Prices
Pricing strategy is key to profitability. FLUXLIO allows you to set global or per-product price rules. You can define a minimum profit margin, account for marketplace fees, and even set 'psychological pricing' (e.g., ending in .99).
The 'Price Tracker' monitors supplier price changes in real-time. If a supplier raises their price, FLUXLIO will automatically adjust your selling price to protect your margins.
How to Track Stock
Avoid the dreaded 'Out of Stock' cancellation. FLUXLIO monitors supplier stock levels continuously. When a supplier runs out of an item, FLUXLIO immediately updates your listing to '0' quantity or hides it, depending on your preferences.
This automation works 24/7, ensuring you never sell an item you cannot fulfill.
How to Manage Orders
When a customer buys from your store, the order appears in the 'Orders' section of FLUXLIO. While FLUXLIO tracks the order status, the actual purchase from the supplier is currently performed by the seller.
FLUXLIO provides all the necessary details—shipping address, SKU, and supplier link—in one place to make the manual ordering process as fast as possible. Once you've placed the order, you can update the tracking number in FLUXLIO, which will sync back to your sales channel.
How to Track Profit
The 'Profit Audit' tool gives you a clear picture of your financial health. By comparing your purchase price and marketplace fees against your selling price, FLUXLIO calculates your exact net profit for every sale.
This data is aggregated into weekly and monthly reports, helping you identify your most profitable products and channels.
How to Manage Multiple Stores
For advanced users, FLUXLIO's 'Growth' and 'Pro' plans allow for multiple store connections. You can manage several eBay accounts or a mix of Shopify and Wix stores from a single login.
Switching between stores is seamless, and you can even cross-list products from one channel to another with a few clicks.
Troubleshooting
eBay token expired
Tokens typically last for a few months. If your connection drops, simply go to 'eBay connection' and reconnect your account.
Shop blocked page
Occasionally, a supplier may block an automated fetch. If this happens, FLUXLIO will alert you; you can then enter the product details manually using the 'Manual' tab in the Add Product dialog.
Category missing
If a category isn't automatically found, FLUXLIO will suggest the most relevant ones based on your product title. You can always select the correct category manually during the publishing step.
eBay seller account setup
Ensure you have a valid payment method and have accepted eBay's selling terms on their website before attempting to publish via FLUXLIO.
