How to request an account

To start selling on NADUVI, get in touch with its customer service team using the Verkopen via NADUVI form (in Dutch). Once all is arranged, you are given an account, and the integration with ChannelEngine can begin.

For more information on working with NADUVI, check out its terms and conditions for merchants.

Associated costs

NADUVI does not charge any setup or monthly fees, but it does charge 25% on every sale you facilitate through its platform. This is a higher-than-average commission, so it is not advised to sell low-margin products on NADUVI.

Marketplace-specific requirements and exceptions

Setup

On ChannelEngine

This channel must connect to your channel plugin on ChannelEngine to consume your product content and offers and to push orders to you. Therefore, you need to provide your contact person at this channel with the following information:

• Your ChannelEngine base URL https://[yourtenant].channelengine.net
• The Channel API key
• Your channel-specific product feed URLs*

The Channel API is this channel's gateway to your products on ChannelEngine. To find your Channel API key:

1. In your channel plugin on the ChannelEngine Dashboard, and go to Setup, General.
2. Locate the API key field.

*To retrieve the channel-specific product feed URLs, check out the next section on creating your product selection.

Product selection

This channel accesses your product data directly from source files that ChannelEngine generates. In the Product selection step, you see two URLs. These are placeholders for two versions of the product feed that this channel receives from ChannelEngine – one in CSV and one in XML format.

To generate the product feed files for this channel:

1. Create a product selection for this channel.
2. Check which attributes the channel requires you to map, and make sure these attributes are stored in either the standard ChannelEngine fields or your custom fields.
3. If your product data contains custom fields, mark them as public. For guidance on marking custom fields as public, see the Custom fields section below.
4. Complete the remaining steps in Settings and configuration.
5. Let ChannelEngine run its export task for the first time. This task runs every 60 minutes.

The feed content is visible after you finish the Activation step and ChannelEngine completes its export task.

Custom fields

To include your custom fields in the generated feed and, therefore, expose your custom fields to this marketplace, mark them as public on ChannelEngine.

To mark your custom fields as public:

1. Go to Products, Custom fields.
2. Locate the custom field that you want to expose to this channel.
3. Change the Include in channel product feed status by selecting the pencil icon and setting it to enabled.

For more guidance on custom fields, check out ChannelEngine: custom fields.

Categorization

The categorization step does not appear on NADUVI.

Mappings

Content

Because NADUVI is an API channel, the mapping contains all standard ChannelEngine attributes. Some can be left empty, even though they are marked as required. However, it is recommended to map as many attributes as possible. The more you map, the greater the visibility of the product on the marketplace is. This, in turn, tends to lead to a higher conversion rate.

All products (required)

• Brand - product brand name.

• Catalog price - msrp (incl. vat/sales tax).

• Category - the product's full category path (with each category separated by >).

• Color - product color.

• Description - product description.

• Details - the product's details.

• Extra image URL 1-9 - deep links to the product's additional images.

• GTIN - the product's universal identifier (e.g.: EAN, ISBN, UPC, etc.).

• Image URL - deep link to the product's main image.

• Merchant product no - your unique product number (also referred to as merchant product number).

Offer

• Price before (re)price rules - indicate the item's selling price; ChannelEngine's Price field. If you have pricing v2 enabled, then this attribute will not appear. 

In Mappings, Offer mappings, the following offer attribute may appear on this channel, if this channel uses pricing v2:

• Allow promotion below min price - set it to ‘true’ to allow the promotion price to drop below your product's minimum price. 

In Mappings, Fee group mappings, map the marketplace fee group ID of the product.

Carrier

Carrier mapping is not required on NADUVI. 

FAQs

Why are my shipments stuck as 'Not exported yet'?
NADUVI uses ChannelEngine's Channel API, ChannelEngine does not initiate the import and export of data to and from the marketplace. If your shipments are not exported and not visible in NADUVI's back-end, something is wrong with the import of the shipment information. Please contact NADUVI's customer service to investigate this. You can copy ChannelEngine's Support team in the email, if needed.
