Channel Settings

Sync & Inventory
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Disable automatic inventory syncing | When enabled, products will NOT be automatically delisted on Vinted when they sell elsewhere. Use this if you prefer manual Vinted inventory management. |
Listing Quality
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Image distortion | Adjusts image processing for crosslisted items. Unchanged: Original quality. Medium: Light processing (recommended). High: Maximum processing. Higher settings help avoid duplicate listing issues on Vinted. |
| Enhanced listings with AI | Adds SEO keywords and extracts measurements from descriptions. Improves discoverability but adds ~30 seconds per listing. |
Shipping
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Shipping package size | Default package size for new listings: Small, Medium, or Large. Product dimensions override this if available. |
Offer Management
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Automatic offer management % | Set to 100% to disable. Otherwise, offers at or above this % are auto-accepted, counter offers sent below. Requires the FLUF Chrome Extension. Example: 80% = accept £8+ on a £10 item. |
| Send messages to likers | Sends a message to anyone who likes your items. Works on its own — you don't need automatic offers turned on. Useful for greetings or store info. |
| Message to likers | The text to send. Use {title} to include the item name. If automatic offers are also on, {discount}, {offer_price} and {original_price} are filled in too. |
Messaging & Alerts
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Post-purchase message | Message sent to buyers automatically after an order is detected. Leave blank to disable. |
| Overdue dispatch threshold | Get alerts when Vinted orders are unshipped after X days. Set to 0 to disable. |
