# Connect Wallapop to RUIT Connect Wallapop to RUIT: sign in to Wallapop in the extension's browser and let RUIT detect the session. No passwords, in two minutes. _Updated: 2026-09-28 · Source: https://ruit.es/en/docs/connect-wallapop/_ In this tutorial you connect your Wallapop account to RUIT. Wallapop does not offer an API to tools like RUIT, so the connection goes **through the extension**: RUIT uses the Wallapop session you already have open in your browser and never asks you for your password. It takes **two minutes** and you only do it **once** per account. **You need** the [RUIT extension](https://ruit.es/en/docs/install-the-extension/) installed in Chrome or Edge on a computer and connected to your RUIT account, and a [verified phone](https://ruit.es/en/docs/verify-your-phone/), because without it the connection wizard does not open. > **Note:** It cannot be done from a phone: the extension only exists for desktop browsers, and without it > Wallapop has no other way to connect. Connect it from a computer. ## 1. Sign in to Wallapop in the extension's browser Open Wallapop in the same browser where you have the RUIT extension and sign in with the account you want to connect. There is no need to leave the tab open: the extension opens one of its own, pinned and in the background, when it needs it. What does matter is **which account is signed in**: RUIT connects the session it finds in that browser, and it cannot choose another. > **Tip:** If you use several Wallapop accounts, sign out of the one you do not want before carrying on. With > that one signed in, RUIT would connect it instead. ## 2. Open the connection wizard in RUIT Go to **Settings → Accounts**, press **Connect Account** and pick **Wallapop**. ## 3. Let RUIT detect your session RUIT reminds you that you need to be signed in to Wallapop in the extension's browser. Press **Detect my Wallapop session**. _Screenshot: The dialog for connecting Wallapop in RUIT: the Connect Effortlessly title, the reminder to be signed in on the extension's browser, the link to this guide and the green button for detecting the session_ The Wallapop dialog. The number marks **Detect my Wallapop session**; there are no fields to fill in. The extension reads your Wallapop session, asks Wallapop for your profile to check that it is the same account, and hands it over to RUIT. It takes a few seconds. When it finishes, RUIT confirms that the account is linked and takes you back to the list of accounts. > **Note:** If you have the RUIT extension in more than one browser, before detecting anything RUIT asks you > **which browser extension should connect your Wallapop account**. Choose the browser where you are > signed in to Wallapop: the account is tied to that extension, and it is the one RUIT will use every > time it talks to Wallapop for you. > **Warning:** If the first attempt ends in **Connection failed** with "Invalid or missing credentials for > Wallapop" even though you are properly signed in, press **Retry** without changing anything: the > second attempt usually goes through. ## What you have achieved Your Wallapop account appears under **Connected Accounts** with your Wallapop profile name and the green connected dot. From now on RUIT talks to Wallapop through the extension in that browser, so **keep it open** whenever you want RUIT to work: publishing, importing, answering messages or keeping an eye on your sales. _Screenshot: The RUIT Connected Accounts screen with the Wallapop card, which shows the profile name and the connected status, and the Connect Account button at the top right_ The Wallapop account, connected. If the browser session expires, the card switches to a **Reconnect** button, which repeats step 3. **Next step:** importing from a marketplace to bring in the listings you already have on Wallapop, or [publishing your first listing](https://ruit.es/en/docs/your-first-listing/). ## If something is off - **Instead of the detect button, RUIT offers to install the extension.** RUIT cannot see any extension of yours connected. Install it, or open RUIT in that browser's window if you already have it, and open the wizard again: [checking the extension connection](https://ruit.es/en/docs/check-the-extension-connection/). - **"We could not find a Wallapop session in the browser where the Ruit extension is installed."** There is no Wallapop session in that browser. Sign in to Wallapop there, not in another browser or on your phone, and press **Retry**. - **"Invalid or missing credentials for Wallapop."** Retry once. If it happens again, sign out of Wallapop in that browser, sign back in and repeat step 3. - **"The Wallapop session in your browser doesn't match the detected credentials."** The browser is holding traces of two accounts. Sign out of Wallapop, sign back in with the right account and try again. - **"This Wallapop account is already linked in your organization."** Someone else in your organization connected it first, and only they can renew it from their browser. If it needs to become yours, they have to unlink it first. - **"Connection timed out."** The extension did not answer within half a minute. Check that the extension's browser is open and that its icon shows it as connected, and try again. - **You sell with several Wallapop accounts.** Each one is connected separately: sign out of one, sign in with the other and repeat from step 1. If both have to work at the same time, each one needs its own browser with the extension: [using several extensions at once](https://ruit.es/en/docs/several-extensions-at-once/). - [Selling on Wallapop with RUIT](https://ruit.es/en/docs/sell-on-wallapop/) - [When a marketplace session expires](https://ruit.es/en/docs/accounts/) - [How connecting an account works](https://ruit.es/en/docs/how-account-linking-works/)
