Shoptrader

In this article, you'll learn how to import your product data from Shoptrader.

Before you start

You'll need

• A Shoptrader account

1

Generate tokens in Shoptrader

• Log in to your Shoptrader backend.

• Go to Configuration > API.

  
• At Add a new token, create a new token for Channable.

  • For the name, give it a descriptive name (e.g. "Channable token").

  • Tick the To read, To write, and To delete checkboxes.

  • Click Add token.

    
• This generates a token. Make note of it, as you'll need it in the next step.

2

Create your Shoptrader connection

• In Channable, open the project where you want to import your product data.

• Go to Setup, click + Set up import, and select Shoptrader.

• Fill in the required information:

  • For Label, give your import channel a descriptive name (e.g. "Shoptrader")

  • For Shop URL, provide your Shoptrader webshop URL.

  • For Token, fill in the token generated in the previous step.

  • Click Connect with Shoptrader. This takes you to your import settings.

• Configure import settings:

  • For Name, give your Shoptrader import a descriptive name (e.g. "Shoptrader")

  • For Choose language, select the language your product data is in.

• Click Start import. You'll be redirected to the Edit Mapping page to map your product information.

Map your products

This page displays your import fields (fields retrieved from your Shoptrader webshop — e.g. price, description, title), and corresponding project fields (Channable's standardized fields used to streamline channel setups).

Note: Our system will automatically detect and map most import fields to our standardized fields, but it's important to review and adjust these before importing.

• Compare and adjust mapping: Review your Import fields against Channable's matched Project fields. If a field was matched incorrectly, click on the field to select a different field.

• Check and correct field types: Ensure the right field type is assigned to your project fields. If a field has the wrong type, click Edit next to the field, select the correct type in the dropdown, and click Save & Import.

• Exclude fields (optional): To exclude a field from being included in your product data, click the checkbox in the Select column for that field and click Do not import selected fields.

Once you've finished mapping, click Save & Import to start importing your product data. Depending on how much data you're importing, this can take some time.

Tip: Check the Status column in Setup to check your import progress. Your product data is fully imported when the Status is Finished.

Review your imported items

After your product data has finished importing:

• Go to the Items page to view your imported products.

• Click on an item to see detailed information.

You're good to go! Your items are ready to use to create and optimize Feeds, Marketplaces, Shopping Ads, and more in Channable.
