Cin7 is built for enterprise manufacturing businesses. If you sell on eBay and Shopify and want real-time inventory sync without a 3-week implementation, Salync was built for you.
Free plan available · No credit card required
Cin7 Omni starts at ~£280/month
That's before add-ons, integrations, or support contracts. For a business managing a few thousand SKUs on eBay and Shopify, it's hard to justify.
It takes weeks to set up
Cin7 typically requires guided onboarding, data migration support, and training. Most sellers just want to import their products and get going.
It's built for manufacturers, not online sellers
BOMs, production runs, B2B portals — these are Cin7's core use cases. If you don't need them, you're paying for complexity you'll never use.
eBay UK support is an afterthought
Cin7's eBay integration is functional but not first-class for UK sellers. Salync is built specifically around eBay UK and Shopify.

Authorise both channels. Salync matches your existing listings by SKU or barcode — no relisting required.
You're live
Real-time sync is active. Stock updates flow automatically the moment a sale happens on either channel.
Salync is a purpose-built alternative for UK eBay and Shopify sellers. Real-time stock sync, purchase orders, and multi-channel listing management from £99/month — versus Cin7's £280+/month for a system built for much larger operations.
Cin7 is built for businesses with manufacturing BOMs, complex B2B ordering, and multi-location warehouses. Most online sellers use 10% of its features and spend the rest of their time navigating around the parts they don't need.
Cin7 Omni starts at ~£280/month. Salync starts free and its Growth plan is £99/month for 2,000 SKUs — roughly a third of the cost for the features online sellers actually use.
Most sellers are live in under a day. Export your products from Cin7 as a CSV, import into Salync, connect your eBay and Shopify channels — done. No implementation consultant required.
Start free, migrate your catalogue, and be live on eBay and Shopify within the hour.
