CDON – integration configuration

CDON is one of the largest marketplaces in Scandinavia. Through the platform established by the Swedish company, you can conduct sales in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland, reaching over 2.5 million buyers.

Integration with CDON module enables:

• downloading orders from all CDON accounts to the Base.com panel;
• transferring orders to the online store;
• automatically transferring shipment numbers assigned in the Base.com panel to CDON;
• automatically transferring order statuses from Base.com to CDON;
• listing offers on CDON based on products from a warehouse connected to the Base.com system (this can be a store warehouse, wholesale warehouse, Base.com Inventory, or ERP system);
• automatically renewing offers;
• synchronizing stock levels in the offer according to the current product stock in the warehouse;
• synchronizing prices in the offer according to the price of the associated product in the warehouse – taking into account the price multiplier.

How to connect the integration?

1. Register a CDON seller account via this link. Here, you must attach the official registration documents of the company from the country where it is registered.
2. After a successful registration, go to your BaseLinker panel and in the Integrations section, click the green +Add integration button.
3. Search for CDON in the list of available integrations (Marketplace section).
4. Enter the account name (any name, displayed in the system), Merchant ID and the API token obtained from the CDON seller panel (Settings → API Key).
5. Click Save and you’re done! The integration will be added to your BaseLinker account.

Module configuration

When you add a new account you will see 6 tabs:

• Connection – here you can test if the connection is correct;
• Orders – here you can activate the download of orders. However, we recommend that you first configure Order Manager;
• Listing settings – here you can choose a template and category for each market separately, set the price multiplier and complete the general offer settings;
• Order statuses – by linking statuses, any change in the order status in Base.com will also change the order status in the service. However, synchronization does not work in the opposite direction (changing the status in the service does not change the status in Base.com. The statuses available on the CDON side are: Cancelled;
• Prices – the price synchronization module will allow you to automatically synchronize prices in offers according to the prices of products in a storage;
• Stock – the stock synchronization module will allow you to automatically synchronize offer stock according to warehouse.

The CDON module

On the left side of the Base.com panel you will see the CDON module. Here you will find 5 tabs:

• Listing creator – here you list your offers. To proceed to the listing form, select the warehouse, CDON account and products and click List selected (form);
• Listing management – here you can import offers listed outside Base.com (and manage them directly in the panel) and export auctions for further analysis;
• Categories and parameters – in this tab you will select your favourite categories and you will map the parameters;
• Offers templates – here you will create offer templates;
• Associations – here you can assign marketplace categories and offer templates to the category (or products) from the storage.
