OTTO listings straight from the PIM: video of the OTTO integration
The OTTO integration in PIM for Shopware, shown entirely in test mode: nothing is sent to OTTO during the whole video.
What the video shows
- In test mode nothing goes to OTTO, everything runs in your own shop.
- For live selling you add client ID and client secret from OTTO Partner Connect.
- The product safety details (GPSR) that OTTO requires are right here.
- The connection test works in test mode too.
- You choose which products go to OTTO by source, here one manufacturer.
- The check shows straight away how many products are included.
- OTTO requires an OTTO category for every product.
- Suggestions from the OTTO category tree, with match score.
- Mapped, subcategories inherit the mapping.
- The required attribute colour simply gets a fixed value here.
- A dedicated OTTO text, written by the AI.
- Title and description just for OTTO, the shop keeps its texts.
- Transfer all products to OTTO with one click.
- All listings are live, only simulated in test mode.
- A test order comes in just like one from OTTO.
- It is created straight away as a Shopware order numbered OT-.
- The PIM fetches OTTO returns every 30 minutes, here a test return.
- Restock, create a credit note and confirm on OTTO.
- Booked in one click, credit note included.
- The order overview shows the OTTO logo.
In numbers
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.
