Why link your account
Without a connection, Sweeprice already watches each of your product pages from the public pages and recognises your offer through the shop you named. The connection brings three more things:
- Your offers read at the source, through Octopia's API: price, state, identity of your shop, with no ambiguity about who you are.
- If Cdiscount opened competing offers to you, Sweeprice reads the full list of the page's sellers through the API, not only the best price.
- An official, stable read that does not depend on the marketplace's public pages.
What you need
- An active Cdiscount seller account and access to your Octopia space.
- A Sweeprice account (the 14-day trial is enough) with at least one Cdiscount product tracked: not required, but it makes the connection useful right away.
- Your Cdiscount seller ID, shown in your seller space.
On the Octopia side: authorise Sweeprice
Octopia issues no per-seller key. Instead, you link the Sweeprice integrator to your account from your own space:
- 1 Sign in to your Octopia space and open the "API Credentials" page.
- 2 Choose "Connect my Aggregator to my account" and pick Sweeprice in the list.
- 3 From your Cdiscount seller space, open an API ticket asking for access to competing offers. Without it, Sweeprice sees through the API only the best price of each page; with it, the list of sellers.
On the Sweeprice side: type your ID and give your consent
- 1 Open Settings then Marketplaces, and click "Connection" on the Cdiscount row.
- 2 Type your seller ID. It is the only thing asked: no key, no password.
- 3 Tick the read consent: you allow Sweeprice to read your offers, your prices and your shop identity, read-only and only for the products you track.
- 4 Save, then click "Test". The test confirms the marketplace answers and says whether competing offers are open to you.
Check that everything works
Once the connection is saved, the page shows its state: the date of the last test, its result and the date of the last read. A banner reports any error met since, with its message.
On the Offers page, your Cdiscount offers now appear as yours, read through the API; competitors come from the full list if access is open, from the public pages otherwise.
What Sweeprice reads, and what it never does
- Read: your offers (price, state), your shop identity, and the competing offers of the pages you track if Cdiscount allowed it.
- Never: writing a price, a stock or a listing; reading products you do not track; sharing your data with another account.
- Your credentials are stored encrypted. To revoke access, click "Disconnect" in Sweeprice or remove the aggregator from your Octopia space.
