OnBuy – integration configuration

OnBuy is a British marketplace that allows you to reach over 6 million buyers in 20 markets, such as Poland, Germany, France, or the UK.

Integration with OnBuy in Base.com enables:

• listing offers on OnBuy based on products from a warehouse connected to the Base.com system (this can be a store warehouse, a wholesaler, Base.com Inventory, or an ERP system);
• downloading orders from all OnBuy accounts to the Base.com panel;
• transferring orders to an online store;
• automatically transferring shipment numbers assigned in the Base.com panel to OnBuy;
• linking order statuses from Base.com to OnBuy based on set mapping;
• automatic offer relisting;
• 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. 1. Register an OnBuy seller account via this link.
   2. After successful registration, go to your Base.com panel and in the Integrations section, click the green +Add integration button.
