Marketplace

OTTO Market

OTTO Market is connected directly, with thirteen building blocks from the product to the return. New products are built from the Commerce Bundle with OTTO category, brand, attributes, images, price, product safety details and shipping profile.

Your own products can be read back, taken off sale temporarily and offered again; OTTO's categories with their required details and the brand list help with the mapping.

Building blocks

Thirteen building blocks for OTTO Market

  • Upload productsWrite

    Creates and updates products from the Commerce Bundle. For existing ones, whatever the record does not name is kept.

  • Read productsRead

    Reads your own products back in the shape the upload expects — optionally only those whose status on otto.de has changed.

  • Product statusRead

    Shows whether a product is online or restricted on otto.de.

  • Activate or deactivate productsWrite

    Takes products off sale temporarily and offers them again.

  • Read categories and brandsRead

    Reads OTTO's categories with their attributes and required details, and the brand list — as the basis for the mapping.

  • Prices and stockWrite

    Maintains price and stock of existing products.

  • Read ordersRead

    Reads orders ready to ship, with items, billing and delivery address.

  • Report shipmentWrite

    Reports the shipment with tracking and return tracking number, also for orders that sat in the ERP in between and for one article in several parcels. On request the return tracking number comes straight from the DHL or Hermes return label.

  • Cancel ordersWrite

    Cancels items that have not been shipped yet.

  • Read returnsRead

    Reads returns per item.

  • Decide returnsWrite

    Accepts or rejects a return per item.

  • Read receiptsRead

    Reads the invoices and credit notes OTTO issues on the merchant's behalf, with PDF on request.

  • Free request

    For anything without a ready-made building block: a request to the API, using the stored credentials.

In practice

Two workflows with OTTO Market

  1. Order, label and shipment report

    Orders should reach the ERP, the label come from the carrier and OTTO learn about the shipment.

    1. Readorders ready to ship from OTTO Market
    2. Hand overas a sales order to Xentral
    3. Shiplabel from DHL, with a return label
    4. Reportshipment with tracking and return tracking number

    The return tracking number comes straight from the return label — nobody types it in.

  2. Products on otto.de

    The same range that goes into the shop also goes to OTTO.

    1. Readarticles from Xentral, changes only
    2. Maponto the Commerce Bundle
    3. Uploadproducts to OTTO Market
    4. Checkproduct status online or restricted

    You see which product is online on otto.de and which is not.
