You install the extension from the RUIT app itself, under Settings → Extensions → Connect new extension. That button opens the Chrome Web Store listing, and once you add it the extension links itself to your account: there is no key to copy anywhere.

What is the extension for?

Wallapop and Vinted have no public API. The extension is what lets RUIT talk to them: it uses the session you already have open in your browser to import your listings, publish, receive messages and detect sales. Marketplaces that do have an API (eBay, Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop) connect without it.

Which browsers work?

Any Chromium-based one: Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera and Vivaldi. Firefox and Safari are not supported, because the extension relies on APIs that only exist in Chromium.

On mobile, Chrome does not allow extensions at all. Two routes do work: Yandex Browser on Android and Orion on iOS, both with a manual install.

How do I install it, step by step?

  1. In the app, go to Settings → Extensions.
  2. Press Connect new extension. The extension’s Chrome Web Store listing opens.
  3. Press Add to Chrome and confirm.
  4. Go back to the RUIT tab. The extension already shows up as connected in the list.

It is worth pinning it to the toolbar: click the puzzle-piece icon and hit the pin next to RUIT. That way you can see its connection status at a glance, without opening any menu.

Can I have several extensions at once?

Yes, and it is the normal setup if you work from more than one machine. Each install shows up as a separate extension under Settings → Extensions, and you can rename them to tell them apart (“workshop laptop”, “home desktop”). From there you can also see which marketplace accounts hang off each one, and remove the ones you no longer use.

Keep in mind that each marketplace account is tied to the extension it was connected from. If you delete that extension, those accounts stop syncing until you reconnect them from another one.

What if the extension shows as disconnected?

Almost always it means the marketplace session has expired in your browser. Open the marketplace in a tab, sign in, and the extension reconnects by itself within seconds. If it stays red, check that it has not been disabled in chrome://extensions.
