Why Businesses Choose This Feature

- Tracking Writeback on Every Order

- Inventory Sync Across Channels
Sell a unit on Allegro and your Bol, Otto, Kaufland, and Mirakl inventories all decrement. Stockouts on one channel never bleed into oversells on another.
- Returns Handled End-to-End

- OAuth or HMAC — Whichever the API Wants
Allegro uses OAuth 2.0. Mirakl uses API keys with HMAC. Bol uses client credentials. Each adapter handles the auth flow native to its marketplace — you just paste the keys.

What Each European Marketplace Covers
Allegro — The Polish Giant
Allegro is the largest marketplace in Poland, with over 22 million active buyers — more than Amazon in the same country. If you sell into Central or Eastern Europe and you are not on Allegro, you are leaving the biggest pool of EU shoppers untapped. ShipWave is Allegro adapter handles OAuth 2.0 authentication, PLN pricing, Polish-language listing fields, and Allegro is unique requirements around tax invoicing and EAN identifiers. Orders flow into ShipWave with shipping addresses already formatted for Polish postal codes, and tracking writeback meets Allegro is strict on-time-shipment SLA (which affects your search rank). Pair Allegro with Kaufland Czech Republic and Bol Netherlands and you have a serious Central-European footprint.
Bol — The Netherlands & Belgium
Bol (formerly Bol.com) is the #1 marketplace in the Netherlands and Belgium, dominating both countries the way Amazon dominates the US. Dutch and Belgian shoppers default to Bol the way Americans default to Amazon. ShipWave is Bol adapter pushes listings with proper EAN identifiers (required), Dutch and French translations where applicable, and EUR pricing. The adapter handles Bol is specific quirks around delivery promise windows — Bol expects you to commit to a delivery date when you list, and breaking that promise hurts your seller score. ShipWave warehouse settings can be mapped to Bol delivery promise zones so the math works out automatically.
Cdiscount — France
Cdiscount is the largest French-owned marketplace and a top-3 player in France behind Amazon FR and Fnac. The adapter handles French-language listing attributes, EUR pricing, and Cdiscount is unique category taxonomy. Cdiscount also offers a fulfillment program (FBC — Fulfillment by Cdiscount) similar to FBA. ShipWave supports both merchant-fulfilled and FBC listings on the same channel — you can have some SKUs going through your own warehouse and others fulfilled by Cdiscount, all tracked in one place.
Otto — The German Mid-Tier Giant
Otto is Germany is second-largest e-commerce platform after Amazon and one of the original German mail-order brands turned marketplace. Otto specializes in home goods, furniture, fashion, and consumer electronics. The adapter handles German-language listings, EUR pricing, and Otto is strict product data requirements (Otto rejects listings with missing GTIN or incomplete category attributes). ShipWave catches these validation errors before the API call so you do not waste cycles fixing rejected listings one at a time.
Kaufland Global Marketplace — Multi-Storefront
Kaufland (formerly Real.de) runs storefronts in Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Austria, and Romania — all from a single seller portal. ShipWave is Kaufland adapter handles all 6+ countries as separate destinations from a single channel connection, with country-specific currency (EUR, PLN, CZK, RON) and language. You list once and decide which countries to publish to. Returns and order management work across all storefronts in one dashboard.
Mirakl — The Marketplace-as-a-Service Platform
Mirakl is not itself a marketplace — it is the platform powering retailer-operated marketplaces. Tesco Marketplace (UK), B&Q Marketplace (UK), Argos (UK), Fnac (FR), Darty (FR), Decathlon (multi-country), Carrefour (multi-country), El Corte Inglés (ES), and dozens more all run on Mirakl. ShipWave is Mirakl adapter speaks to any Mirakl tenant — you paste the tenant URL and API key, and you are connected to that storefront. One ShipWave channel connection per Mirakl tenant. Sellers commonly run 5-10 Mirakl connections side by side to cover the major UK, French, and Spanish retail marketplaces simultaneously.

Who Uses EU Marketplaces
US Brands Going Global
US brands hit a ceiling on Amazon US and look to expand. EU marketplaces offer comparable buyer volume with less seller competition. ShipWave lets you launch on 6 EU channels from one dashboard.
EU-Native Brands Centralizing Ops

Multi-Channel Sellers Adding Mirakl
Sellers already on Amazon EU and eBay add Mirakl tenants (Tesco, B&Q, Argos, Fnac) for exposure on retailer-operated marketplaces with higher average order values.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get API keys for each marketplace?
Each marketplace has a developer or seller portal where you generate keys. Allegro and Bol issue OAuth 2.0 client credentials. Mirakl tenants give you an API key tied to your seller account. Cdiscount, Otto, and Kaufland each have their own developer console. ShipWave is connection wizard walks you through each one.
How are language and VAT handled?
Listings can be pushed with localized titles and descriptions per channel. VAT is configured at the channel level — ShipWave records VAT-inclusive vs. VAT-exclusive pricing per marketplace so invoices and order totals match local expectations.
How are returns handled?
Each marketplace adapter receives return requests via its own API or webhook. ShipWave routes them into the standard returns dashboard, where you can approve, generate labels (via your shipping carrier), and refund. EU consumer law mandates 14-day returns — the dashboard tracks deadlines per request.
Do I need EAN or GTIN codes?
Yes for most channels. Bol, Otto, and most Mirakl tenants require EAN-13 or GTIN identifiers on every SKU. Allegro requires EAN on the majority of categories. ShipWave validates EAN presence before publish and surfaces missing identifiers in a single list so you can fix them in bulk.
Can I sell in multiple currencies on the same listing?
No — each channel uses one currency. But ShipWave manages per-channel pricing automatically. You set a master price (e.g., USD or EUR), apply a per-channel multiplier or fixed override, and the right currency price publishes to each marketplace.
How long does inventory sync take?
Inventory pushes run every 15 minutes by default for active channels. When an order comes in on any channel, ShipWave decrements your on-hand quantity and pushes updated counts to every connected marketplace to prevent oversells.
Can I add new Mirakl tenants later?
Yes. Each Mirakl tenant is its own channel connection in ShipWave. Add Tesco today, B&Q next week, Decathlon next month — each connection is independent and re-uses your existing catalog mappings.
