You can't link your BO store to BL through the BO website, you need some synchronisation software to do that for you.
There are options out there for you.
1 - There is a free sync software called BrickSync. However, this requires you to run it all of the time on your PC/laptop and you do need good IT skills as it is very 'command' based and it's quite easy to make a mistake and screw up your inventory.
2 - There are online companies that provide a sync service for users, however all charge a fee (normally a % of sales). One of these that I can highly recommend is BLS Manager and InSpacesync from InSpace software - they are both excellent products. They have cloud-based software that doesn't require you to run the synchronisation on your own PC/laptop. The developer (Erwin) is very responsive to queries/new ideas/support requests, and is a member of this forum if you want to contact him ( @ErwinNL ) and talk through what you want to achieve.
Hope this helps Kath, let me know if you need any more info
Not to help with this, but WHY would you ever open at bricklink ? After their hacking attempt, i would stay on brickowl. I do not even dare to have a profile there anymore.
@brickadoon - thank you for your info very helpful - I am certainly not an IT wizkid not even a kid now @ Malnaborg - I haven't actually decided yet but just thinking of my options. I have found BO a little slow lately still getting orders but not as much a before so just thinking about it Thank you all for taking the time to reply

Speaking for my store, sales value & volume.
I’ve had a very good month here on Brickowl, however my sales are still around double on BL.
