Product Feed Synchronisation

The Lengow solution uses three data feeds to exchange information with Cdiscount via the API:

  • Product Feed, used to manage the integration and creation of new product listings. This is sent once a day.
  • Offer Feed, updated every eight hours to manage prices, stock levels, and delivery details (methods and associated fees).
  • Price and Stock Feed, updated every hour.

It is also possible to create segments to divide your product catalogue. This allows for more precise configuration management based on different product types. For example, parent products can be excluded from the feed.

Advantages and Benefits of Selling on Cdiscount

Much like Amazon, the Cdiscount marketplace is a platform with a massive audience. In France, it attracts several million visitors each month, ranking among the largest marketplaces. By optimising your presence on this highly popular marketplace, you gain increased visibility for your entire product range.

But high traffic isn’t the only advantage of this platform. The entire Cdiscount site is designed to enhance conversion and encourage users to complete purchases. With flexible, secure, and intuitive payment options, live chat with advisers, and powerful search filters, it’s a winning formula for driving more sales.

As a seller, you also benefit from streamlined management tools and a very intuitive interface, allowing you to manage orders, stock, and product information with just a few clicks.

Cdiscount Pro is a B2B platform that lets you expand your network and sales channels to reach new customers. Complementing this is the Cdiscount Advertising feature, which helps boost your online shop’s visibility through sponsored products. The Express Seller programme is another attractive option, enabling more precise targeting of customers via the “Cdiscount à volonté” client directory managed through a subscription.

The Cdiscount Fulfilment logistics service is another key strength. From warehousing to packing, shipping, and delivery, everything is handled for you—making your life significantly easier. Sales volumes can increase by up to 80%.

Additionally, you can set up connections with product feed integrators like Lengow, which makes managing your catalogue and associated actions much easier.

Step 1: Create your product catalogue

Once registered, you’ll need to add a product catalogue for the items you wish to sell. There are several options available depending on your preferences. You can import a catalogue using an Excel file, connect via the platform’s API to integrate your product database, or use Lengow’s integration tool.

Step 2: Optimise your product listings

As everyone knows, product listings are the shop window of any online store. It’s important to pay close attention to the details and provide as much useful information as possible for potential buyers. Make sure each listing includes high-quality images or videos, detailed descriptions, and whenever possible, showcase customer reviews to boost your reputation and drive engagement.

Step 3: Connect the channel in Lengow

Follow the setup steps to add the Cdiscount channel to your Lengow account while managing your product feeds through Cdiscount’s new environment: Octopia. The tool will then synchronise your catalogue, update product information, assist with order management, and suggest optimisations.
