SUMMARY
1. Prerequisites to know before listing on the CDON marketplace
✔️ Multi-Country
BeezUP allows you to list your product catalogue and manage your orders from 4 countries using a single network.
The default country is Sweden, so the following fields are for the Swedish catalogue: title, description, usp_1-5, status, deliveryTime_min, deliveryTime_max, salePrice, originalPrice, shippingCost, vat
To list your products in other countries, you must:
use the attribute variants with the two-letter ISO code of the target country as a suffix, for example: title_dk, description_fi, status_no
fill in the different price fields, ensuring you use the correct currency for each country.
map the "status_xx" fields for each country, indicating whether you want the product to be active or inactive, i.e.: "Online" to activate the product in that country, and "Offline" to deactivate it.
✔️ Description
CDON allows you to choose between a standard description and a more complex and structured, formatted description.
A single product can only have one of these two types of descriptions:
For the standard description, use the description_xx field
For the formatted description, use the following fields:
summary_xx: A short summary of the description. This will be displayed near the product's USP.
header_xx_1, header_xx_2, and header_xx_3: Titles corresponding to the body of the description.
body_xx_1, body_xx_2, and body_xx_3: The body of the description. Use ## to create multiple paragraphs.
* 'xx' corresponds to the two-letter lowercase ISO country code.
✔️ Products/Offers
CDON requires that you create product listings, even if they may already be in their database.
Therefore, you will always need to send your product feed before sending your offer feed.
Also note: CDON segments its catalogue management into four sub-feeds: product details/images/price/availability.
On the BeezUP side, the first two are managed by the "product" feed with "full" updates, while price and availability are handled by the "offer" feed with "Differential" updates.
✔️ Variations
Product variations, common in the fashion industry, are not currently supported by BeezUP.
2. Publishing products on CDON
To list your products on CDON, start by creating your CDON account. Once your account is validated, proceed as described in BeezUP:
3. Managing CDON orders
With BeezUP, you can manage your CDON orders by:
Retrieving your orders (all countries)
Fulfilling your orders
Cancelling your orders (only before shipment)
✔️ Go to the "API Settings" page
✔️ Make sure the "Disable order retrieval" checkbox is unchecked.
✔️ Save the settings.
✔️ The "API Settings" button should turn green. You can then activate the "CDON API SWE" channel: your orders will appear on your orders page within 30 minutes! 🎉
✅ Note: If you update the status of an order outside of BeezUP, the status will not be automatically updated in BeezUP. You will need to manually resynchronize it.
Happy selling on CDON with BeezUP!
