How to Connect Depop

Connecting Depop to FLUF Connect

Depop is one of the most popular platforms for vintage and fashion resale. FLUF offers two connection methods to suit your workflow.

Prerequisites

• Active Depop account with verified email
• At least one listing on Depop (recommended)
• For Method 1: Google Chrome browser + FLUF Utility Chrome Extension
• For Method 2: 2FA must be disabled on Depop mobile app

Method 1: Chrome Extension (Recommended)

This is the fastest and most reliable way to connect Depop.

Step 1: Install FLUF Utility Chrome Extension

1. Visit the Chrome Web Store
2. Search for "FLUF Utility" or use the install link provided in the connection modal
3. Click Add to Chrome
4. The extension icon will appear in your Chrome toolbar

Step 2: Log Into Depop

1. Open a new Chrome tab
2. Go to depop.com
3. Log in to your Depop account
4. Keep this tab open in the background

Step 3: Connect in FLUF

1. Navigate to Connect → Channels
2. Click Add Channel and select Depop
3. Select Chrome Extension Method
4. Click Connect with Chrome Extension
5. FLUF will automatically detect your Depop session
6. Connection completes in seconds!

Security: Your Depop password is never stored in FLUF. The Chrome Extension securely handles authentication.

Method 2: Magic Link (Alternative)

If you can't use Chrome Extension, use Depop's Magic Link authentication. This method also works on the FLUF mobile app — watch the mobile how-to video.

Step 1: Request Magic Link

1. Navigate to Connect → Channels
2. Click Add Channel and select Depop
3. Select Magic Link Method
4. Enter your Depop email address
5. Click Send Magic Link

Step 2: Get Magic Link from Email

1. Check your email for "Log In To Depop" from Depop
2. DO NOT CLICK THE LINK — this will log you into Depop's website instead
3. Right-click the "Log in to Depop" button in the email
4. Select Copy Link Address (Chrome) or Copy Link (Firefox/Safari)
5. The link will be a long URL — copy the entire thing

Step 3: Paste Magic Link in FLUF

1. Return to the FLUF Connect window
2. Paste the full magic link URL into the input field
3. Click Connect
4. FLUF will authenticate using the magic link

Critical: Two-Factor Authentication must be disabled on your Depop account for Magic Link to work. With 2FA on, the magic link won't arrive and the connect screen will hang on "Loading Depop…".

What Happens After Connecting

• ✅ FLUF verifies your Depop authentication
• ✅ Your existing Depop listings are imported (may take 2-5 minutes)
• ✅ You can now crosslist new items to Depop
• ✅ Sales on Depop trigger automatic inventory sync across all channels
• ✅ Depop connection status appears on the Channels page

Sync Behavior

• What syncs: New listings, sold items, price changes, inventory updates
• Sync speed: Updates are synced periodically throughout the day

Re-authentication

Depop sessions can expire. You'll need to reconnect if:

• You change your Depop password
• Your session token expires (typically 30-60 days)
• You log out of Depop manually

How to reconnect:

1. Go to Channels
2. Click the Reconnect button on your Depop card
3. Follow the same connection method you used initially

Running two Depop stores? Each store shows its own status dot on the Channels page, so you can see exactly which one needs reconnecting. Reconnect refreshes whichever store you're currently logged into on Depop — so to fix a specific store, log into that Depop account in your browser first, then click Reconnect.

After Connecting

1. Create your first listing — Crosslist to Depop instantly
2. View your listings — See all Depop products alongside other channels
3. Manage orders — Track Depop sales with centralized fulfillment
4. View analytics — Monitor Depop performance

Once connected, you can configure Depop-specific settings in Channels → Depop → Settings.
