Set up Treecat

Setting up Treecat takes five steps: sign in with Google, install the Treecat agent if you sell on a marketplace that needs it, connect your marketplaces, import your inventory and sales, and match items you had already crosslisted. You can do all of it in any web browser, except installing the agent, which needs a computer.

Importing and matching are free. You are billed only when an item Treecat manages sells (see How Treecat pricing works).

Before you startCopy Anchor Link

• A Google account. Treecat signs you in with Google, so it never stores a password. Any email address can be a Google account; you do not need Gmail. See Signing in.
• Working seller accounts. Make sure you can create a listing directly on every marketplace you want to connect. Marketplaces have their own seller settings (payments, shipping, verification) that must be in place before Treecat can list for you.
• A payment method. Treecat needs a card with a ZIP code on file before it can connect to your marketplaces. You are not charged when you add it.

Step 1: Sign inCopy Anchor Link

Go to treecat.io, click Login and choose Continue with Google. If you have a promo code, type it in the Promo code (optional) field, or use Browse affiliate codes. You can also add a code later under Settings → Affiliate.

Step 2: Install the agent (only if you need it)Copy Anchor Link

The agent is required for Poshmark, Mercari, Whatnot, Facebook Marketplace and Etsy. It is not needed for eBay, Amazon, Walmart, Shopify or WooCommerce.

Download it from Settings → Agent, install it on a computer that can stay on, and sign in with the same Google account. See Install the Treecat agent.

Step 3: Connect your marketplacesCopy Anchor Link

1. Add your payment method under Settings → Billing if you have not already.
2. Go to Settings → Marketplaces and click Add marketplace.
3. Choose the marketplace under Connect new and follow the sign-in for it.

For eBay, sign in to the right eBay account in another browser tab first. For agent-based marketplaces, do this on the computer that runs the agent. See Connect your marketplaces.

Step 4: Import your inventory and salesCopy Anchor Link

1. On the Inventory page, click Import, choose your marketplaces and click Start import. The default Quick mode is fine for a first import.
2. On the Sales page, click Import to bring in your sales history.

After the first import, Treecat keeps syncing for you around the clock. See Import your listings and sales.

Step 5: Match items you had already crosslistedCopy Anchor Link

If you listed the same item on several marketplaces before you used Treecat, link those listings so a sale on one delists the others:

1. Open Inventory → Matching and click Calculate.
2. Accept or dismiss each suggested group.

See Match listings across marketplaces.
