No credit card required · No long-term contract
Linnworks was once the go-to for UK multi-channel sellers. But over the past two years, prices have increased significantly — with many sellers reporting bills jumping from £200–£300/month to over £600/month with little warning. The UK Business Forums have dozens of threads from sellers actively looking for alternatives.
Price hikes
Many sellers report 2–3× increases mid-contract with minimal notice.
Complexity
Linnworks is built for warehouses and logistics teams, not 1–10 person eBay/Shopify businesses.
Overkill
You're paying for features you'll never use — just to get the ones you do need.
For most UK sellers doing under 10,000 SKUs, Salync covers every feature Linnworks offers — at 80–90% less cost.

Most sellers complete the switch in a single afternoon. Here's how.
In Linnworks, go to Reports and export your product catalogue as a CSV. Include barcodes, descriptions, costs, and stock levels.
Use the CSV import tool in Salync to bring in your catalogue in one go. Barcodes, descriptions, categories, and images all map across.
Link your eBay and Shopify accounts. Salync pulls your existing listings and matches them to your catalogue automatically.
Keep Linnworks read-only for a week or two while you verify everything is syncing correctly. Then cancel.
Built specifically for UK eBay and Shopify sellers — not enterprise warehouses.
Real-time stock sync
Stock levels update the moment a sale happens — no batch delays, no overselling.
Central product catalogue
One place for every SKU. Update a price or description once and it pushes to every channel.
Purchase orders
Raise POs to suppliers, receive stock in, and see every stock movement logged automatically.
Multi-channel listing
Push products to eBay and Shopify with per-channel field overrides. Lock what you don't want overwritten.
