Connecting Kaufland

With the Kaufland connection, Stockhub fetches your orders from Kaufland and sends your stock to Kaufland. You create the connection yourself in the customer portal. You need the API keys from your Kaufland Seller Portal.

Creating API keys in Kaufland

1. Log in to the Kaufland Seller Portal.
2. Go to Settings > Shop settings > API.
3. Generate new API keys.
4. Copy the Client Key and the Secret Key and store them safely. The Secret Key is often shown only once. If you lose it, generate new keys.

The menu names can differ slightly depending on the language of your Seller Portal.

Creating the connection in Stockhub

1. In the menu, go to Integrations > Sales channels.

2. Click New sales channel. The Add sales channel window opens.

3. Choose Kaufland.

4. Fill in the details:

   • Description: a recognisable name for the channel.
   • Shipping name: this name appears on the shipping label. This field is optional.
   • Storefront: the Kaufland country you sell on, for example Germany (de) or Netherlands (nl).
   • Client key: the Client Key from Kaufland.
   • Client Secret: the Secret Key from Kaufland.

   

5. Click Test connection. If you see Connected, the details are correct. If you see Connection failed, see Connection failed below.

6. Click Next.

7. Under Synchronisations, choose what Stockhub exchanges with Kaufland. Set each setting to Active or Inactive:

   • Import orders: fetch orders from Kaufland.
   • Update existing product info and Import new products: you only see these if the fulfilment company has switched them on.
   • Update stock to channel: send your stock from Stockhub to Kaufland.
   • Sync a virtual stock amount: this amount is added to your actual stock.
   • Send track & trace email: you only see this if the fulfilment company has switched it on.

8. Click Save.

Connection failed

If the test fails, check the following:

• You copied the Client Key and the Secret Key completely and without spaces.
• The storefront you choose belongs to your Kaufland account. If you do not sell in Poland, for example, Poland (pl) will not work.

After connecting

A new sales channel starts in draft status. You then see the message Pending sales channel approval. The fulfilment company activates the channel, after which the synchronisations start.

Good to know:

• A sales channel belongs to one storefront. Stockhub only fetches orders from that storefront and only updates the stock there. If you sell in several countries, create a sales channel per storefront.
• Stockhub only imports orders that you ship yourself. Orders that Kaufland ships itself do not come into Stockhub.
• If you exclude products from the synchronisation, enter the EAN as the SKU.
• You can change the storefront and the keys later on the Details tab of the channel.
