Linio closed in Mexico on 8 April 2024; in Chile, Peru and Colombia its offer runs inside Falabella.com. AIMS360 has no direct Linio or Falabella connection.
Linio was a Latin American online marketplace that started in Mexico in 2012. Falabella bought it in 2018, moved its offer into Falabella.com and closed Linio Mexico in April 2024.
Not as Linio. Falabella switched off Linio in Mexico on 8 April 2024. In Chile, Peru and Colombia, Falabella moved Linio's offer into its own Falabella.com marketplace, which it relaunched in Colombia in April 2023 after Chile and Peru. AIMS360 has no direct Linio or Falabella connection.
Falabella.com sellers work through Falabella's Seller Center, and Falabella's developer documents list a Shopify sales channel app for it. If you run Shopify on AIMS360, ask us about that route before you list. It follows the same pattern as our Mercado Libre page.
