6

Activate and provide feed URL

• When your Check24 feed is fully set up, activate the feed in the Settings tab of the feed and run it.

Add an order connection to your Check24 feed

Channable’s order connection functionality can pull orders from Check24.

• Select the option "interface connection" in your Check24 order transmission settings.

• On the following page choose the suitable option from the displayed shop systems.

• By clicking the option that suits you, access the connection details under "Your interface access data".
