SUMMARY
1. Prerequisites to know before integrating Obelink marketplace
a. Frequency & update modes
The product publication period is every 24 hours, that of offers depends on your subscription: dynamic (up to every 5 minutes), every hour or every 2 hours.
👉 Note that they can also be launched manually from the "Publications" page of the marketplace.
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
Obelink only accepts products with an EAN code
c. Best Practices and Tips
⏩ All countries are managed through a single channel
All translations of web titles and descriptions must be entered in the corresponding attribute fields.
Because the Netherlands and Germany are the main Obelink's markets, it is mandatory to fully enrich the product titles and descriptions (Product Name (nl_NL), Product Name (de_DE), Omschrijving (nl_NL), Omschrijving (de_DE)).
For France: A title and description in French are also required, as well as activation of the corresponding shipping zone.
For Belgium: Obelink is only visible in Dutch-speaking Belgium. Therefore, no additional information is required for Belgium, except for activating the delivery zone.
⚠️ The description (product title) must contain a maximum of 65 characters. Beyond this, the title will be automatically truncated.
No emojis should be used in product titles and descriptions.
⏩ Special case of products with variations
If your products have variations, indicate the identifier grouping the variants of the same product in the "Variant Group Code" attribute.
2. Integration procedure
If you do not have an account, contact the Obelink team.
Within BeezUP, add "Obelink API V.2" in the "Channels" tab.
Proceed to the categorization of the products you wish to transmit.
Proceed to the mapping of "Obelink 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 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) Obelink 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 Obelink, 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 Obelink, is to make sure that the "product" feeds are published successfully, they are the ones that allow the creation of the products.
When the product publications are correct, Obelink still performs a check/validation of the products. Make sure your products are validated by the marketplace.
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.
