Set up Geizhals interface

The first thing you need is our base plugin. You should already have this installed and set up. The interface to Geizhals is only an extension and must therefore be installed separately.

Create credentials for the API

The first thing you need to do is register with Geizhals. We have created a separate form for this purpose. You can find this form directly in the add-on.

Simply enter your details and which website you would like to apply for. In the first step 3 web pages are enabled. However, you can have more web pages added later.

Requirements for the use of the API

The entered data will be sent directly to the Geizhals team and will be checked there. If Geizhals is satisfied with your site and there is nothing to complain about, you will be created as a publisher and get an API access.

Installation

Download the extension from our website. To do this, click on "Download now":

Then upload the ZIP archive to WordPress as a plugin.

After successfully uploading and activating the plugin, you still need to activate your license. To do this, go to affiliate-toolkit -> Settings -> Licenses and activate

Enter the license and click on "Save Changes".

Setup of the store for Geizhals

Now create a new store under Shop -> Create new store and select "Geizhals API" as data source.

1) TItel of the store internal

The designation can be freely selected and is only used internally.

2) Data supplier

Here you select Geizhals.

3) Username

Enter the username you received from the Geizhals team.

4) Secret

Enter the password you received from the Geizhals team.

5) Language

Select the language for the product data here. German is the primary language here.

6) Land

Select here the country you want to address primarily. So if you choose Austria here, you will only get offers for Austrian stores.

Activate the stores

After you have saved the store, all available partners will be listed.

1) Automatic creation of subshops

If the product is found in a store that has not been activated, the interface will automatically create this store and link the product.

Afterwards you can see that the store was created as a subordinate store:

2) Select stores

Now select all stores (by checkbox) which you want to use. These stores are created as a subordinate store after saving.

3) Show store logo

Select whether you want to display store logos. Otherwise, the store name is displayed.

4) Automatically load offers for price comparison

If this option is activated, the plugin will automatically search for a matching offer in these stores using the EAN of the product.

Import products via the backend

Here you now follow the usual course as it also works with other stores. Click "Import product", select the store and search for the products. Then they can import the product.

Select "Product import" in the menu and then the subordinate billiger.de store. You can search by keyword, ASiN, EAN. Enter the keyword and click "Search".

Now click through the search results. Once you have found the product, you can import the products on the right side.

Create search lists

A list is a group of products. You can create search lists and also extended lists here. We have also written a separate article on this.
