Connect OnBuy to invtri

What OnBuy’s API page shows

OnBuy now documents its API as the OnCommerce API, which “connects sellers to multiple global markets and retail channels, including OnBuy, easyShop, and Comet (UK)”¹. Your details sit on the API Integration page: “The API settings page can be found in your Seller Control Panel”¹. It shows:

• Your Seller ID: “This is your unique seller ID. You can find this on the API page of the SCP.”¹
• Your Seller Entity IDs: your account “already has a Seller Entity ID for OnCommerce UK”, and “you will receive a new ID for each location you enable”¹.
• Two sets of keys, Live and Test, each with a consumer key and a secret key¹.

Once OnBuy is connected

invtri lists your products on OnBuy and keeps stock and price up to date. Its pricing takes OnBuy’s commission into account. Orders come in every 15 minutes, tracking goes back to OnBuy, and you can refund or cancel from invtri.

OnBuy runs a shared catalogue. Its seller terms let you create a product page or add your listing to an existing one, and changes to an existing page need a request, which OnBuy may refuse².
