Automate yourself

Automating yourself means creating a direct link to bol without the intervention of an intermediary. Many API links are possible. For example, changing stock, price and delivery time or processing orders. You choose which component to link. Below is an overview of all possible links.

What do you need to start automation?

  • A valid bol seller account
  • Your own sales system, which lists your items and/or orders
  • Your own (or hired) team of IT-developers
  • A clear picture of which sales processes you want to link

 

1. Look into what you want to automate

Together with your IT-developer, have a look at the bol development center to determine which components you want to link and to estimate the work involved.

2. Access to the bol.com Retailer API

Request client credentials to access the bol Retailer API.

3. Start planning and building

Schedule time for construction and start building the first component.

4. Testing

Test the linking of the first component and then put it live. Want to test the link without risk? Then set your shop to ‘closed’ during testing.

5. Expand

Experience the benefits of a link and automate even more components of your choice.

Automate via a third party

The benefits of automation are within reach for every partner, even if you don't have an IT department yourself. In fact, you can turn to integration partners, who have already created all common links between bol.com and a webshop. In addition, these integration partners also offer tailor-made solutions.
