Baselinker Integration

Would you like to link your Baselinker account to Droplo? In this guide we show you how to do it. 🙂

Activating integration

Go to the Integrations tab and click on the Baselinker field.

A description of the integration will open. To activate the trial period, click on the Test for free for 7 days button. If you do not need a trial period and want to activate your subscription straight away, use the Purchase access button.

A. By selecting Test for free for 7 days, a window will appear where you will be told until when you can use the integration for free. Use the Start trial period button to proceed.

You will be taken to the Subscription and payments panel where, in the list of Active subscriptions, you will notice your integration and the information until when it will be active for your account during the trial period.

You can end the trial period at any time before the full 7 days have elapsed.

To do this, in the Subscription and payments tab use the Cancel subscription function, next to the service you do not wish to continue. Access to the integration will expire when the full 7 days have passed.

After activating the trial period for Baselinker in Droplo, you will see a new section in the main menu on the left side of the panel: MY INTEGRATIONS. In this section you will find a shortcut to your Baselinker integration. Click on it to open the configuration panel.

Note: Next to the integration shortcut there is a counter of days left for you to use on the test period (Test 7 days). Using the Activate button, you can activate your subscription early. This action will force the first payment for monthly or annual access to the integration.

B. By selecting the Purchase access option, you will be taken to the payment card for access to the integration. Choose whether you want to pay it monthly or annually (in advance). Once the first payment has been sent, the integration will be fully activated for your account.

Making a connection

Go to the Baselinker configuration panel in Droplo using the shortcut in the left menu:

The only information needed is the Baselinker (API) token, which you can generate in your account settings in the Baselinker dashboard.

Just go to the Baselinker admin panel and expand your account menu in the upper right corner of the panel. Then go to the My Account tab.

From the horizontal menu, select the API tab. After entering the program name (e.g. Droplo) and using the Generate Token button, the page should refresh, showing the new API token.

Next, go to the Products -> Settings -> Categories tab.

Here, create at least one category to which you will assign the products you list from Droplo.

Copy the API token from Baselinker, go to Droplo and place the Baselinker API token in the designated location. Now click on Connect button.

Configuration

After a successful connection, you will be taken to the Baselinker Exporter by Droplo tab, where you can easily configure integration parameters, such as:

• Global mark-up – set the percent and/or amount margin on exported products;

• Currency – choose the currency of your sales channel;

• Synchronization – turn on/off automatic synchronization of prices and inventories;

• Select inventory – decide to which inventory in your store exported products should go;

• Warehouse – decide to which warehouse in your store exported products should go;

• Price group – select a price group from Baselinker for Droplo products

• Export language – choose in which language should the products be exported

• Set tax – you can choose how the prices should be calculated regarding taxes

When you have completed the configuration on this page, use the Save button below.

After you’ve already created at least one category in the Baselinker dashboard, next you should to map this category with Droplo before exporting products to the sales channel.

Important! Category mapping will only be available if at least 1 product from any supplier is saved in your list.

Go to the Category Mapping tab and assign Droplo categories to related versions of categories from your store.

Important! In order for the mapping in Droplo to load correctly, you must have at least 1 category created in the Baselinker panel.

When you have finished assigning each category in the list, click the Save button below this page.

Note: Whenever you save more products with other categories in your list, it will be necessary to map the new categories in the synchronization settings so that the products can be uploaded to Baselinker.

Export products to Baselinker

After saving your category mapping settings, you can go to the Products tab and export the selected products to Baselinker via the More Actions -> Add to sales channels function.

A new window will appear where you can choose which integration you want to upload products to. If the integration has encountered errors, e.g. with the connection, a message will appear at the top of the window.

In this case, check again that the configuration has been done correctly on the Droplo side as well as on the Baselinker side.

Note: If you want to remove products from Baselinker, don’t do it on the side of your sales channel. Remember to always manage your products from within Droplo.

This is because Droplo is the source for updating products in your store. Operating on products outside of Droplo may cause synchronization issues.

However, if you don’t want prices or inventory to be updated automatically on the store side, change the synchronization settings for your Baselinker integration in Droplo.
