The purpose of this procedure is to explain to you how to use BeezUP to publish your products on the HORNBACH marketplace.
SUMMARY
1. Prerequisites to know before integrating HORNBACH marketplace
a. Frequency & update modes
Offer publications to HORNBACH take place every 2 hours, product publications every 24 hours.
Offer publications are done in "update" mode, only the following offers are transmitted with each new publication:
offers modified since the last successful publication
offers in error during the previous publication
offers disappeared since the last publication, indicating a quantity of 0.
✅ Note: if your offers are strictly identical to those of the last successful publication, the new publication will be ignored ("skipped").
b. Mandatory item number
HORNBACH uses the unique product identifier to identify and deduplicate products and recommends adding GTINs per item.
2. Integration procedure
If you do not have an account, contact the HORNBACH team
Within BeezUP, add "Hornbach DEU API V.2" in the "Networks" tab.
Proceed to the categorization of the products you wish to transmit
Proceed to the mapping of "Hornbach DEU API V.2" in order to transmit, at a minimum, all the mandatory fields.
⏩For more information on each field, you can click on the "i" info to obtain explanations and/or go to our dedicated portal here.
5. Then go to the API Settings tab and enter your API identifiers:
✔️ Shop ID: which you will find in the "Dashboard" tab of your HORNBACH seller account on the Mirakl platform, opposite "Identifier"
✔️ API Key: which you will find by clicking on your Profile at the top right, then "API Key".
6. After activating (switch to ON) Hornbach DEU API V.2, within a maximum of 2 hours - if everything is OK - the publications should begin, in order to check if the sending are done correctly to HORNBACH, you can consult the "Latest publications" tab which will give you all the details necessary for possible modifications to your flow and/or mapping.
✅ The most important thing, if your products have never been created on HORNBACH, is to make sure that the "product" feeds are published successfully, they are the ones that allow the creation of the products.
Once the publications are correct, ask HORNBACH to launch the creation of the products in case they are not automatically.
Once created, your offer feeds will be published (no more "The product does not exist" error), this will mean that your products are then online and therefore purchasable! 🎉
7. As soon as you make your first sales, they will appear in BeezUP in the "Orders" tab and possibly on your PrestaShop / WooCommerce or other back-office, if your module is configured for it.
3. Attribute matching
Sometimes, in your product output report, you will get a list of attribute codes in error. You can find the requested attribute by its code or by its label in the search bar of the column mapping page.
👉 More information about the requested attributes.
We hope that this page will help you to better understand your error reports and thus enable you to act as quickly as possible on your publications.
We wish you good sales on hornbach.de!
