Getting Started with Seller API

Welcome to the Nelo Seller API! Our platform empowers merchants to publish their products and manage their store on our marketplace. This guide will walk you through the onboarding process, authentication, and the key components of our API.

Overview

The Seller API provides programmatic access to manage your store, including:

• Product Management: Create, update, and manage your product catalog.
• Order Management: Keep your order data in sync between our marketplace and your store.
• Shipping options: Define the available shipping methods during checkout or when creating a return.

You’ll be able to integrate with our API to automate processes and streamline your operations. See our API reference.

Onboarding Process

Access to the API is granted through our sales team. Here’s how to get started:

1. Contact Sales: Reach out to our sales team to discuss your needs.
2. Store Creation: Once approved, we will create your store.
3. Receive Credentials: You will be provided with an API token.

Authentication

All requests to the Seller API require authentication using your API token. You will receive this token during onboarding. Include your token in the Authorization header as follows:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN

Replace YOUR_API_TOKEN with the token provided to you.

Webhooks

To ensure your store remains in sync with our marketplace, we offer a webhook mechanism. You can register a webhook endpoint to receive notifications about orders.

For security, webhook payloads are signed using a dedicated webhook secret. This ensures that the payloads are authentic and have not been tampered with. Detailed instructions on how to register and secure your webhook are provided in our Webhook Documentation.

Note: While the webhook details are covered in a separate guide, we recommend setting up your webhook as soon as you begin integration to keep your systems in sync.

Next Steps

Review the API Documentation: Familiarize yourself with the available endpoints and data structures.

Test the integration with one product: Use your API token to integrate and test with one product before going live.

Set Up Webhooks: Register your webhook endpoint to receive order notifications and updates.
