Three steps. One sitting.
Times below are real, measured on a catalog of a few hundred SKUs. A very large catalog takes longer to sync — you don’t have to sit and watch it.
- 1about 2 minutes
Paste your ShipStation API key
Generate a key in ShipStation, paste it in, we test the connection before saving. Nothing syncs until you say go.
- 22–10 minutes, unattended
We pull in your catalog
Products, SKUs, prices, images, stock levels, warehouses. You don’t type anything. Big catalogs take longer; you can close the tab and come back.
- 3about 5 minutes
Name it, style it, publish
Store name, description, hero copy, a theme. Publish and your store is live at your RebelShops URL.
Realistically: under 20 minutes from API key to a live store you can send someone.
You already have the inventory. You just don’t have the store.
ShipStation is holding a complete product database. Most sellers only use it to buy labels.
Your SKUs, prices, images, quantities and warehouses are already in there — the hard, boring, error-prone part of standing up a store, finished years ago. What you have been quoted for is a shop window, priced as though you were starting from nothing. You aren’t.
Read-only until you publish. You can disconnect at any time.

Questions worth asking before you connect an API key.
What happens to my store if you shut down?
Your catalog isn't here — it's in ShipStation, where it already was, and we only read from it. Shutting down would cost you a storefront URL and your store's design, not your product data, inventory or fulfillment. Your Stripe account and your ShipStation account are both yours and outlive us.
Do you take a cut of my sales?
No. Not a percentage, not a per-order fee, not a "growth tier" that introduces one later. $19.99 a month is the entire amount we charge you. Stripe charges you its own published processing rate, directly — we don't mark it up, and we don't see the money.
Can I use my own domain?
Not yet. Your store runs at a rebelshops.com address today. Custom domains are the most requested thing we don't have, and if that's a dealbreaker, it should be — say so and we'll tell you when it ships.
What if I don't use ShipStation?
Then RebelShops is the wrong product for you, and you should stop reading. The entire value here is that we read a catalog you've already built in ShipStation. Without that, you're doing the data entry we exist to avoid — and there are better tools for starting from scratch.
Do I have to change how I ship?
No. That's the point. Keep your carriers, your rates, your presets, your label workflow, your warehouses. Orders from your RebelShops store are handed to ShipStation for fulfillment and pick up the process you already run.
Will this oversell my inventory?
Stock levels come from ShipStation on a scheduled sync, so there's a window between a change in ShipStation and a change on your storefront. Every sync is logged with a timestamp and a record count, so you can see exactly how current your numbers are. If you're selling single-unit or one-of-a-kind items across multiple channels, run the sync tight and watch the log.
How many products can it handle?
We haven't published a limit because we haven't stress-tested one honestly, and a made-up number helps nobody. Catalogs in the hundreds of SKUs sync in minutes. If you're running tens of thousands, email us before you sign up and we'll tell you the truth about it.
Can I sell on RebelShops and Amazon and eBay at once?
Yes — that's the normal case. RebelShops is a direct channel next to your marketplaces, reading the same ShipStation stock levels they draw against. It's not a channel manager and doesn't arbitrate between them.
What's actually built, and what's marketing?
Fair question to ask a new product. This FAQ names the gaps: no custom domains, no multi-currency, no POS, no app store. If you find something on this site that the product doesn't do, tell us and we'll take it down.
Your catalog is already sitting there.
