About bol

Bol is the largest online marketplace in the Netherlands and Belgium, welcoming millions of customers and external sellers. Since 2012, EffectConnect has been collaborating closely with bol providing reliable, scalable automation for bol sellers. 

Requesting a seller account

  • Bol has an open listing
  • Go to the Bol partnerplatform and sign up as a seller, click here

kb-info Note: make sure you have a commercial seller account before connecting to bol via EffectConnect

Settings & configuration

For general information about adding and setting up a channel in EffectConnect please go to how to configure a channel in the Channel Manager.

Settings that concern the bol channel only:

  • Settings for Economic operators
    Go to Settings > Offers
    Once you have added your economic operators in bol, link them here to your offers within EffectConnect.
  • Import LVB orders
    Go to Settings > Orders and shipments
    If you use bol’s external fulfilment service (LVB), you can decide whether or not to import these LVB orders into EffectConnect.

How to create or enrich product data on Bol?

You can easily add or enrich content (product information) by mapping it in EffectConnect.

Go to the bol channel in EffectConnect and choose the tab Content mapping

kb-info Good to know: for bol, it is necessary to have data in Dutch imported into EffectConnect. It is not possible to create or enrich product information, using another language with a bol channel. 

Repricer available

Adjust your prices dynamically and win the buy box more often, while protecting your profit margins using the Repricer.

If you want more information about the repricer, please contact us at support@effectconnect.com

About the synchronization times

A bol channel synchronizes according to the default synchronization times EffectConnect maintains. To read more about our synchronization intervals, read this article.
