Selling on Wallapop with RUIT: full guide

Wallapop connects through the Chrome extension, because it has no public API. RUIT uses the session you already have open in your browser, so it never asks you for your Wallapop username or password.

What can RUIT do on Wallapop?

The whole cycle: import your existing ads, publish new items, edit price and description, receive and answer messages, handle offers and take the ad down when the item sells somewhere else.

Stock syncing works in both directions: if you sell on Wallapop, RUIT detects it and takes the unit off your inventory.

What do I need before publishing?

A location. Normally you already have one on your Wallapop profile, and then RUIT reuses it without asking you anything. If your profile has none, RUIT asks you for it as a required field on the publishing form and saves it to your profile when it publishes. Only if there is neither does RUIT stop the listing before sending it and tell you why.

With one important caveat: in bulk publishing there is no form to fill in, so if your profile has no location the item fails on required fields. Set it on Wallapop before launching a large batch.

It also helps to keep the extension pinned to the toolbar: the connection to Wallapop depends on the browser session still being alive, and seeing that at a glance saves you finding out too late.

What changes if I have a PRO account?

Quite a lot, and it is RUIT’s only difference that depends on the account rather than on the platform. With Wallapop PRO you can sell several units of the same item: RUIT sends the real stock figure, up to a maximum of 200 units per ad, which is Wallapop’s own cap. For it to send the real figure the item has to have managed stock in RUIT; without that, the ad goes out with a single unit.

A regular account has no such field, so each ad is a single unit and auto-delist becomes the important tool: the moment it sells, the ad disappears from the other marketplaces.

What happens when the stock runs out?

Each marketplace does something different, and it is worth knowing because it changes what you see afterwards. Wallapop deletes the ad, and so does Vinted; eBay ends it; Shopify archives it; WooCommerce, PrestaShop and Todocolección simply drop the quantity to zero.

Wallapop deleting rather than archiving has one practical consequence: the ad cannot be recovered. There is no way to bring it back, neither from RUIT nor from Wallapop, and its saved-item and view counts go with it. That is not a RUIT bug or something that can be avoided: it is how Wallapop works.

And there is a detail that catches people out: restocking does not republish it on its own. A deleted ad only comes back if you publish it again, by hand or in a bulk batch, and it comes back with a new link. There is a separate option, republish after sale, which does republish on its own when you sell and still have stock, but it comes switched off and is turned on account by account.
