Connect OTTO, test it first

Before a product goes live on OTTO Market, you want to see how category, required attributes and orders work together. That is exactly what the video shows, entirely in test mode: the marketplace is simulated in your own shop, nothing is sent to OTTO and you do not need an OTTO account. The listings in the video are therefore only live in the simulation.

As an example, the garden furniture from the manufacturer Lindhaven goes to OTTO. The video covers the connection with the GPSR details, selection, category and required attributes, an OTTO text written by AI and the transfer. It then plays through a test order and a test return with a credit note.

Features in detail

Category and required attributes in the PIM

OTTO requires an OTTO category for every product. The PIM suggests it from the OTTO category tree, and a missing required attribute such as colour gets a fixed value.

GPSR details in the connection

You enter the product safety details that OTTO requires once in the connection. They go to OTTO with every listing.

Returns every 30 minutes

The PIM fetches OTTO returns every 30 minutes. In one click you restock, create the credit note and confirm the return on OTTO.

Orders with the prefix OT-

OTTO orders are created as Shopware orders with numbers such as OT-10000. The order overview shows them with the OTTO logo.

Tips for everyday use

  • Play everything through in test mode first, then add client ID and client secret from OTTO Partner Connect for live selling.
  • Fill in the GPSR details completely before the first upload, OTTO checks them for every listing.
  • If a required attribute is missing, a fixed value for the whole category is often enough instead of editing every product.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an OTTO account for test mode?

No. Test mode simulates OTTO in your own shop. Upload, sync, test order and test return run as if real, but nothing is sent to OTTO. The PIM fills missing credentials with sample values.

Where do I enter the GPSR details?

Right in the connection to OTTO. That is where the product safety details live that OTTO requires for every listing.

How do OTTO returns reach Shopware?

The PIM fetches them every 30 minutes. The return is booked in one click, including the credit note and the confirmation on OTTO.
