Integrate with FTP

Automatically send and receive product data via FTP

Many marketplaces and commerce channels still rely on FTP.

Listabl can both receive and send product data via FTP, allowing you to connect with marketplaces, affiliate networks, retail partners, and websites - without custom builds or brittle integrations.

If a channel supports FTP or SFTP, Listabl can talk to it.

FTP is still how many channels integrate

FTP remains widely supported by:

When APIs aren't available - or aren't flexible enough - FTP is often the standard. There are still systems where this is the only option when it comes to data exchange.

Listabl fits directly into that ecosystem.

What the FTP integration actually does

Two-way FTP integration

Listabl supports both inbound and outbound FTP workflows.

You can:

  • Receive product data from ERPs, website platforms, suppliers, or internal systems
  • Send feeds to external channels
  • Grab images and attach them to products
  • Use the same structured dataset for both directions

One central dataset.
Multiple FTP connections.

FTP variants and security

Listabl supports:

  • Standard FTP
  • Secure FTP (FTPS)
  • SSH FTP (SFTP)

This allows you to meet:

  • Partner security requirements
  • Enterprise IT policies
  • Cross-border data transfer constraints

No workarounds.
No manual handoffs.

Works with marketplaces and beyond

FTP feeds can be used to connect Listabl to:

  • Marketplaces that support bulk FTP feeds
  • Affiliate and partner networks
  • Paid shopping and comparison platforms
  • Retail or brand websites
  • Internal systems that consume flat files

Listabl structures the data once, then adapts it for each destination.

Fits alongside APIs and direct integrations

FTP is one option - not a limitation.

Listabl can:

It acts as the translation layer between everything.

Scheduled feeds that run when you need them

FTP feeds don't need to be manual.

Listabl allows you to:

  • Schedule feeds to run hourly, daily, or on demand
  • Align updates with marketplace processing windows
  • Time price, stock, or range updates precisely

Feeds run automatically, without someone pressing “export”.

Sequence multiple feeds together

Some workflows require more than one file.

Listabl supports feed sequencing, allowing you to:

  • Run a base product file first
  • Follow with price, stock, or image updates
  • Combine outputs from multiple data sources
  • Control the order files are delivered

This is especially useful when channels require:

  • Separate files per data type
  • Strict processing order
  • Incremental updates after full loads
