Connect Vinted to Dropstitch so you can publish to Vinted from the same cross-listing workflow you use for your other channels.

Before you start

Use desktop Chrome with the Dropstitch Chrome extension installed.
If this is a new Vinted setup, plan a short session warm-up window using Build a trusted Vinted browser session for reliable Dropstitch publishing.
Log into a Vinted account that already has normal activity. Avoid a brand-new account.
Make sure the account has at least 3 to 5 manual listings or enough normal buying and selling history to behave like a real active account.
Open Settings > Marketplaces > Vinted in Dropstitch.

How it works

Vinted connects to Dropstitch through the Chrome extension, not through a direct app API. That means the connection depends on your browser session staying active and authenticated.

Once Vinted is authenticated, Dropstitch can use that session for publishing and cross-listing actions. If the session expires, Dropstitch will ask you to re-authenticate before continuing.

This same connection can also support products that start in the Dropstitch mobile app, as long as a desktop Chrome session is open and already connected in the background.

How to use it

Open Settings > Marketplaces > Vinted.
Install the Dropstitch Chrome extension if you have not done that yet.
Click Authenticate Vinted.
Log into Vinted through the extension flow.
Return to Dropstitch and complete the connection step.
If the status does not refresh automatically, click Check again.

Success check

Vinted shows as connected in Settings > Marketplaces.
Dropstitch no longer shows the Vinted connection as pending or disconnected.
You can include Vinted in a publish run from Set up Marketplaces & Cross-listing.

Tips

Recommended approach: use an already-active Vinted account, not a fresh one.
Keep Chrome open and the Vinted session logged in during active listing windows.
For large publish runs, keep a Vinted tab open so session expiry is less likely to interrupt the queue.
If Vinted keeps forcing logins in the first days, follow the trusted-session warm-up routine before you judge reliability.

Advanced settings

Optional customization path: if your team starts products in the Dropstitch mobile app, keep one desktop Chrome session connected so it can act as the extension hub for Vinted actions.
This is slower to set up than a simple desktop-only workflow, but it gives you more flexibility for mixed mobile and desktop operations.
It works because Vinted actions still need one authenticated extension session somewhere, even if the product prep started on mobile.

Troubleshooting

Vinted keeps disconnecting: re-authenticate when Dropstitch asks, then keep Chrome and the Vinted session active.
Vinted keeps logging out in early setup: run the trusted-session warm-up routine in Build a trusted Vinted browser session for reliable Dropstitch publishing.
Publish does not start on Vinted: confirm the extension is installed, Chrome is open, and Vinted is still logged in. If the item stays processing in Stockroom, use Why didn't my Depop or Vinted publish start?.
New account gets flagged or behaves badly: use an account with normal activity and some manual listing history first.

Value reflection

Without a stable Vinted connection, extension-based publishing turns into repeated manual login checks and fragile posting runs. Dropstitch gives you one reusable Vinted connection layer inside the broader cross-listing workflow, so you can scale more safely with less repetitive browser work. The connection still depends on session health, but once that routine is stable it becomes much easier to manage.
