Definition

The Retailer API refers to the combined set of API functions which we are offering to all business retailers that are registered on the bol retailer platform.

Step 1. Get a Retailer Account

Before you can start connecting you need to sign up for a retailer account. This will enable you to authenticate yourself and connect to the API.

Step 2. Choose an integration method

These guides will help you to develop your own custom solution to integrate your systems with our platform. However, there are also several third-party solutions that can make this process easier.

Step 3. Get to know the API

The following topics will familiarize you with the building blocks of developing against the Retailer API:

Step 4. Set up a demo environment

We recommend that you test your bol API connections against our demo environment. This demo describes test requests for users to validate that their API connection is working.

In addition, we offer a Postman export which should be updated with your production API credentials.

Step 5. Start building

Now you can start putting together the integration and begin making real sales! We recommend always starting your development with Offers, then moving to Orders, and after that start implementing the more advanced Content management.

We have also created some tutorial videos that can help you to get started developing with our API.

The following links explain your expectations from us and our legal requirements regarding the use of our Retailer API:
