BackMarket Integration FAQs: refurbished electronics, growing fast

BackMarket is the leading global marketplace for professionally refurbished electronics, connecting certified refurbishers with a rapidly growing base of buyers who'd rather not pay full price for a new device. The InfiPlex™ Inventory & Order Management System (OMS) connects your BackMarket seller account so orders pull in automatically, inventory stays synced with every other channel, and shipping runs through 100+ carriers or your 3PL.

BackMarket Integration & Setup

How the InfiPlex BackMarket connection works, and how to apply if you aren't selling there yet.

What is the InfiPlex BackMarket integration?

The InfiPlex BackMarket integration connects your BackMarket seller account to the InfiPlex Inventory & Order Management System. Orders pull in automatically, inventory syncs in real time across every channel you sell on, and shipments route through your warehouse or a 3PL with tracking posted back to BackMarket.

How do I connect my BackMarket seller account to InfiPlex?

Setup is quick and simple: after you sign up for InfiPlex, our USA-based team provisions your OMS site within 1–2 business days and works with you to authorize the connection from your BackMarket seller account. There's nothing to install and no developer needed.

How long does BackMarket setup take with InfiPlex?

Once your BackMarket seller account is approved and active, most sellers are live on InfiPlex in 1–3 business days — the connection itself completes quickly, with the remaining time going to SKU mapping and shipping configuration.

I'm not selling on BackMarket yet — how do I apply?

BackMarket accepts applications directly from professional refurbishers who can meet its certification, quality, and warranty requirements. Once approved, InfiPlex connects your seller account during your normal onboarding.

Does BackMarket require refurbishment certification to sell?

Yes — BackMarket vets sellers as professional refurbishers rather than accepting arbitrary third-party listings, and requires a minimum warranty period on listed devices; specific certification requirements are set by BackMarket and are worth confirming directly during application.

Order Management & Shipping

How BackMarket orders move into InfiPlex, out to fulfillment, and back with tracking.

How do BackMarket orders get into InfiPlex?

InfiPlex pulls new orders from your BackMarket seller account approximately every 15 minutes — faster if needed — landing in the same queue as your other connected channels, ready to pick, pack, and ship.

What user roles are available for administrators and warehouse associates to manage orders?

Part of the InfiPlex configuration is defining user access for each warehouse. Below are the different roles currently availabe for set-up.

  • Main Admin - Full Access
    Main Admin accounts will have full access to view and manage orders and inventory levels for all warehouses.
  • Warehouse Admin - Warehouse Only Access
    Warehouse Admin accounts will have access to view and manage orders for their specific warehouse only. If needed, a Warehouse Admin can also be given access to manually update inventory levels.

You can visit the Warehouse User Roles page for more information on managing orders.

Inventory Sync & Availability

How InfiPlex keeps BackMarket inventory accurate against every other channel.

How does BackMarket inventory sync work with InfiPlex?

InfiPlex maintains one master inventory pool, and every sale on any channel — BackMarket, Amazon, eBay, or a wholesale order — updates available quantities everywhere in real time, which is what prevents overselling.

How do I update inventory in bulk?

Use the built-in Inventory Tool for direct edits, the Inventory Upload tool for spreadsheet-based changes, scheduled FTP feeds, or automated pulls from supplier systems. One update propagates to BackMarket and every other connected channel.

Section 4 of 5 · Circular economy growth

Growing in the Refurbished Electronics Category

Why refurbished electronics is a genuine growth category, and how InfiPlex supports it.

Is BackMarket's US market still growing?

Yes — BackMarket has continued expanding US city-level marketing (including newer markets beyond its established New York base), with reported growth rates outpacing the company's overall average in some newer US markets, though the refurbished category still has lower adoption in the US than internationally.

Does BackMarket support B2B sales alongside consumer marketplace sales?

BackMarket has expanded into B2B refurbished electronics sales in some markets; if that's part of your business, discuss current B2B program availability directly with BackMarket, and InfiPlex can connect that alongside your consumer marketplace account on the same inventory pool.

How it works

How the InfiPlex BackMarket integration works

BackMarket doesn't refurbish devices itself — it aggregates certified professional refurbishers on one marketplace, connecting them to a large and growing buyer base across dozens of countries. InfiPlex connects your BackMarket seller account so orders pull into the same queue as every other channel, ship from your warehouse or 3PL, and reconcile against one real-time inventory pool that also covers any new-condition channels you run.

Flow diagram: BackMarket sends new orders to the InfiPlex Order Management System about every 15 minutes.
