Listing offers

After completing marketplace configuration, you can begin listing offers. On a well-configured account, all listing form fields will fill in automatically.

Product selection

You can list offers in the Marketplace → Listing creator module.

Here you need to select:

Account – the marketplace account where you want to list your offers (this field will only appear if you connect more than one account of the given marketplace);
Storage – the warehouse where the products you want to list are located. All your warehouses connected to Base are visible here – online store warehouse, wholesale warehouse, Base storage (additionally, Base storage can be connected to an ERP system via external integrator);
Category – you can select a category (in the storage) from which you want to display products or use the Show all products option.

On the right side, you’ll see the Filtering the list of products section, which when expanded contains fields such as product name, ID, SKU, EAN, price, quantity and manufacturer, by which you can filter displayed products. There’s also a Products per page option where you can select the number of products to be displayed (meeting the set criteria).

In the table below, a list of products from the warehouse will appear.

The list of displayed products can be additionally sorted and filtered using the following options:

select all/select unlisted/select specific (products with given ID/SKU/EAN);
listed/not listed – allows filtering which products don’t have any offers listed. For Allegro and eBay offers, this filter also considers products listed in ended offers but marked as automatically renewable;
sorting (product ID, name, price, stock status).

You can list each product individually by clicking Listing form next to it.

You can also list multiple products simultaneously. After selecting the appropriate products, just press the blue List selected (form) button to proceed to the offer listing form.

Listing form

If you’ve previously properly configured the entire module and all necessary parameters and data have been filled in, to list offers click the orange List offers button at the top of the page.

Below are the individual form elements discussed.

Name

The name is pulled from the storage. You can change it manually here.

Additionally:

in the Marketplace → Settings → Product data processing module, you can apply offer name creation filters for all accounts of the given marketplace, e.g., by default add the manufacturer name or product SKU to the offer name. In the name filter, you can use all tags available when creating offer templates e.g: [auction_name], [manufacturer], [sku] etc. This option is only available for some marketplaces (including Allegro, eBay);
in integration settings (Integrations → Marketplace → Listing settings) options are available: Name filter and Convert name case. Options are only available for selected marketplaces (e.g., Erli);
in the Integrations → Shop → Products → Name filter section, you can apply a name creation filter for all products from a given shop storage. More information on this topic can be found in the Stores warehouse integration article.

Quantity

By default, the form will show the quantity of products available in the selected storage.

You can configure the quantity of products to be listed in the Marketplace → Settings → Calculating the amount to be listed module. In this section, you can specify, for example, the maximum quantity that can be listed in an offer, or configure that the quantity to be listed should be reduced by pieces already listed in other offers. These options are only available for some marketplaces (including Allegro, eBay, Amazon).

Detailed information on this topic can be found in our article: Marketplace settings.

Price

This is the purchase price, by default pulled from the warehouse. You can also set a multiplier or add/subtract a specific amount from the warehouse price. You’ll find the configuration in the Integrations → Marketplace account → Offer settings or Listing settings → Price multiplier and Add to price fields.

More information about price modifications relative to the warehouse can be read in our article: Offer settings.

Additionally, wholesale integrations allow setting a separate multiplier in the Integrations → Wholesale section.

Parameters

The Parameters tab displays product parameters that can or must be specified in a given category (depending on marketplace requirements). Mandatory parameters for a given category are marked with bold text. Without filling them in, you won’t be able to list the offer.

It’s possible to detect or copy parameters from the storage.

More information on this topic can be found in our article: Completing parameters.

Data

This section contains settings such as:

Start/minimum price (for auctions),
Shipping templates,
Ooffer template,
Images.

The above example comes from Allegro.

For individual marketplaces, depending on their settings, the available fields here may differ slightly.

Offer template

You can create a template in the Marketplace → Offer templates section.

On the form, you’ll select the template manually. You can also set automatic template selection for the entire marketplace account (Integrations → Marketplace account → Offer aettings/Listing aettings), for specific warehouse categories or for selected products (Marketplace → Associations).

Detailed information about creating offer templates is available in our article: Configuration of HTML offer templates.

Images

Images are pulled from the storage to the listing form.

In the lower left corner of the section, there’s a Images field and a camera icon. Here you can add a link to a image that will appear in the offer gallery.

The number and order of displayed images can be changed:

for Allegro/eBay/Amazon in the Allegro/eBay/Amazon → Settings → Parameters and gallery/Listing settings tabs in the Image gallery – images order/Image Gallery – number of images fields;
for other platforms in the Integrations → Marketplace account → Settings → Offer settings/Listing settings tabs Image gallery – images order/Image Gallery – number of images fields.

Additional information on this topic can be found in our article: Marketplace settings.

Each product in the Base inventory can contain up to 16 images. These images can be placed in the offer template. To do this, use the [photo] and [additional_photos] tags. After using them, the HTML code will be automatically filled with links to the images.

To set the image of the main product, use the [photo] tag as

<img src=”[photo]“>

when editing an offer template.

The BaseLinker does not scale images. The system downloads them and displays them in the form that is stored on the server.

Details

Under this button, additional product information is available – data pulled from the storage that’s not visible in the listing form.

Product description

The box on the right-hand side contains a description of the product taken from the warehouse. Please note that this is not an HTML template – the description does not include the entire template. Here you can edit the description manually.

Variants

If the product in the storage has variants, among the options on the listing form you’ll also see the Variants button (if not, a button with the letter V will be visible).

More information about variants and the process of listing multi-variant offers can be found in our articles:

Depending on the specifics of the selected marketplace, the process of listing multi-variant offers may differ slightly. In case of problems, contact our support through the contact form available in the Help and contact tab.

Common offer settings

This section contains settings common to all offers being listed within one form.

You can fill in all this information for the entire marketplace account (Integrations → Marketplace account → Offer settings/Listing settings) or directly on the listing form for selected products.

Depending on the specifics of the selected marketplace, these settings may differ slightly.

The presented screenshots show common settings for Allegro offers.

List offers

If your listing form is complete, use the orange List offers button at the top of the page.

At this point, the Base system will preliminarily validate whether the offer listing form has been correctly filled out (e.g., whether all parameters have been filled in).

For Allegro/eBay offers, if any errors occur – the listing will be interrupted and an error message will be returned for the product that failed to be submitted.

For other marketplaces, Base will transfer the offers and their verification will take place directly on the marketplace side. If any errors are returned – you’ll find the offers along with the message about the cause in the Marketplace → Listing management → Errors section.
