Add Idealo Partner API v2.0 export

Add an Idealo Partner API v2.0 export from the Productsup platform.

Introduction

This section describes how you can modify and upload your feed to the Idealo Partner API v2.0 in the Productsup platform.

See Idealo's Partner Web Service (PWS 2.0) API documentation.

In the platform, choose from three (3) Idealo Partner API v2.0 export templates to upload your feed:

  • Idealo Partner API v2.0 - Price Comparison Offers export template for products available for price comparison.

  • Idealo Partner API v2.0 - Offers Export template for products available for direct checkout and price comparisons on Idealo.

  • Idealo Partner API v2.0 - Partial Offer Updates for updates to existing products only.

Requirements

You need to map two attribute groups in Dataflow to set up an Idealo Partner API v2.0 successfully:

  1. paymentCosts attributes - You must provide a value for at least one (1) payment cost field and for any payment method you accept.

  2. energyLabels, referred to as EEK (Energy Efficient Class) attributes - You must have values for applicable products, for example, electronics, lighting, and tires, for these fields, as required under EU law:

  3. You can also learn more in Idealo's API documentation regarding labels. See Partner Web Service (PWS 2.0) API Documentation.

Delete products from Idealo Partner API v2.0

Productsup applies delta logic to capture products removed from import data and automatically delete them from Idealo.

Delta logic means that when you remove offers from the import data, the platform compares products to the previous run and identifies changed and deleted products. The platform changes or deletes those products from the export during the next run. Unchanged products stay without changes.
