Offer data represents your individual sales conditions, such as the offer price, available quantity, and delivery time. 

Product Data and Offer Data are two separate data that must be uploaded separately. 

You can create a new offer manually in your Seller Office, upload a CSV file, or use our Open API.

To create a new listing manually, go to My Inventory in the Seller Office and click Add New Offer. First, you need to search for the product via GTIN or MID (Material IDentification). When you have found the right product, add all your details, and then send us the offer.

To create multiple offers, you can use the CSV file. Go to Manage Offers in your Seller Office and download the template. The template contains all the data you need to create an offer. Use one line for each product you want to sell. When you have finished preparing your file, save it as a CSV (semicolon separated) and upload it to the Seller Office.

For further information download here Product and Offer Data.

Yes, you can update your offer data at any time. 

You can update your listing data manually, via a CSV file or via the Open API.

Reupload offer data and it will change automatically. 

If you want to edit several offers with a CSV file, there are two different options:

1. Update or add inventory: If you choose this option, we will either update your existing listings; or create new listings for the products in the file. The offers that are not in the file will not be changed.

2. Replace Existing Inventory: If you choose this option, we will replace all of your current inventory data with the exact data in the file. Everything that is not in the file will be deleted and all new and changed items will be updated. 

3. Delete Existing Inventory: Use this function if you want to stop offering an item for sale. Only Specified Items will be stopped for the offering.

You can manually deactivate any offer in your Seller Office. 

You must go to inventory then click on the right side of the offer that shows Offer History. After, click on the three dots at the end of the line; there you can deactivate an offer so that it is no longer visible or purchasable. 

You can also deactivate your offers via the Open API.

If you connect with an open API you must deactivate through the software partner you are using. 

Please note: Offers that are in the ordering process can no longer be changed to the current order.

To see the status of your offers you can go to Inventory in your Seller Office. There you will find an overview of all your products and offers as well as the current status.  

After each upload of an offer file, you can download a report file from your Seller Office. You can find the file and report it under the Manage Offers tab.

This report file provides detailed information on whether your offer data was sufficient. Lines with warnings can be edited and we can create or update the offer. 

Warnings should be corrected if you choose to include the information in your listings. Incorrect lines will not be processed and the offer will not be created or updated. Once all errors are corrected, you may upload the offer again.

Yes, you will find a history of all changes. You can not see the history of your quantity. To access your history, go to the Inventory item in your seller office. There you can see all of your products and offers. For each offer, you can click Offer History.  

You can change the number of your offers by looking at the tab next to Add/Update Offer. Click in the tab that says Edit Quantity in Stock and then a window will pop up with the option of changing the quantity.  

Yes, you can create an offer for any product that exists in our marketplace. Please be aware, that a good product description and detailed information will help buyers make their purchase decisions. This can reduce the number of returns and cancellations. 

We remain true to the motto "buy more, pay less", METRO Marketplace customers are used to pay less for a higher purchase volume for years.
The benefits are strong customer demand. We also offer a great customer experience when shopping at METRO Marketplace; essentially offering volume discounts. This increases the customers' shopping cart and reduces the effective unit price.

You can transfer volume discounts in your offer data or later directly in your Seller Office.

METRO Marketplace offers you the possibility to advertise your product offers with strikethrough prices.

A strikethrough price is the crossed-out price that is displayed next to the offer and is intended to make it clear that the offer is cheaper than normal.

Under applicable law, the strikethrough price must be the lowest price at which a commercial seller has sold the product through the specific sales medium in the 30 days preceding the price reduction.

If we receive an offer price from you, we will compare it to your historical prices to determine the strikethrough price for you.
