1. What Orbilyn is
Orbilyn is a B2B tool for organizing ecommerce data and operations. You compare two product sets side by side — from files (CSV, Excel, XML IOF) or via shop API — and see mismatches in prices, stock, SKUs, and offer statuses. It detects data inconsistencies; it is not a generic sync hub, ERP, PIM, or sales console.
The app lives at /app, with sections Workspace, Sources, and Settings.
2. Getting started
Go to orbilyn.com and create a Free account or sign in. Without an account you can load the **full Demo** (Set A / Set B) in Overview — your own files and API stay locked (they go to pricing). Free unlocks work with your own files; Pro adds API sources and integrations.
After sign-in, open the app. Working data (sets A/B, connectors, offering/price/stock datasets) and preferences (comparison tolerances, column mappings) are saved on your account and work in every browser where you sign in. Without an account, data stays only in this browser.
3. Loading data (files)
In the Workspace, load Set A and Set B. Without an account only the full Demo (built-in Set A / Set B catalogs) is available. On Free: your own files — CSV (UTF-8 or Excel export, comma or semicolon delimiter), Excel (.xlsx, .xlsm, .xls), and product XML (IOF). For Excel, the sheet with the most rows is used; the header may sit in the first 50 rows.
Useful columns for comparison: SKU, offer ID, name, gross price, stock quantity, and offer status. If headers differ from defaults, map price and stock columns in the mapping dialog.
4. Sources and API import
The Sources section has two tabs: Integrations and Exports. In Integrations you add shop and marketplace connectors: IdoSell, Allegro, Erli, PrestaShop, WooCommerce, and BaseLinker — each supported equally for read/import. Enter a domain or token, save the integration, and test the connection. On a connector card (Pro) you can also download the full API response (JSON) for diagnostics. Allegro connects via OAuth (offer read); BaseLinker and Erli use a token; PrestaShop and WooCommerce use a webservice / REST key.
API import is available on Pro. After you save a connector, load offers into Set A or B in Overview. The Exports tab builds a file from 1–6 connectors (one channel = clean catalog; several = fields side by side). API keys are stored server-side and are not shown again in the UI.
5. Workspace
Overview: one table for Set A and Set B. You see SKU pairing, price and stock differences, ON/OFF statuses, duplicates, and products only in A or only in B. Filters and search help you work through exceptions. The Export button chooses scope (current comparison view or loaded Set A/B) and format (XLSX / CSV). Set export uses data already in the browser — no API re-fetch. Free: CSV of mismatches from the comparison view (up to 100 rows) plus full export of a file-loaded set; Pro: full comparison export (CSV/XLSX with numeric cells and a Summary sheet) plus export of API-loaded sets.
Mismatches: exception cards for price, stock, status, and unpaired rows from the loaded comparison.
Comparison history: Pro — last 30 days of Overview runs, with re-compare from saved API sources when available.
Structure: raw columns of the loaded file or API response — sheets, header row, column filters.
Details: a single-product card (short and long description plus Structure fields) with list navigation.
Catalog: product list from the loaded import (name, offer link, search) for Set A or B — a Workspace tab on Free and Pro, not a separate Scale product.
6. Settings
In Settings the tabs are Account, Overview, Data, and Package. You change account, language, marketing consent, comparison tolerances (percent or absolute price difference, ignoring spaces in SKU, status rules), and see package status.
On Pro, the Data tab offers backup and restore of working data saved on your account. One-off API catalogs come from Sources → Exports (CSV/XLSX) or the full JSON response from a connector card under Integrations.
7. Packages
Free ($0): CSV, Excel, and XML (IOF) file work in the Workspace (Overview, Mismatches, Structure, Details, Catalog), plus a limited CSV of Overview mismatches (up to 100 rows).
Pro ($12 / month or $99 / year USD): everything in Free plus API sources, integrations, full Overview export (CSV/XLSX), workspace backup, and 30-day comparison history. Both billing intervals grant the same Pro plan and entitlements. Payments are handled by Paddle (Merchant of Record). Switching monthly ↔ yearly is available in the Paddle customer portal. Scale with Monitoring is coming soon — not sold yet. Push to shop systems is not part of Pro. Current pricing. Refunds.
8. Practical tips
Compare exports from the same moment (same day / same hour) so you do not confuse mismatches with sync delay.
Align SKUs across systems — that is the main pairing key. If SKU sits in a different column, set mapping or inspect Structure.
Start with “no pair” and price/stock difference filters, then duplicates and missing EANs. Apply corrections in the source system — Orbilyn shows mismatches; it does not replace your ERP or shop admin.
