Where To Get Your API Key
How Your API Key Is Stored
Why we need your API key
Takealot's Seller API uses an API key instead of your password. TSeller uses it to read your offers and sales and to send the price, stock and lead time changes you make. Your Seller Portal password is never shared with us.
What TSeller Will Sync
Step-by-Step
Open the Takealot Seller Portal
Sign in to the Takealot Seller Portal with the account that owns your store.
Go to API Integrations
In the left-hand menu, click API Integrations.
Open Authentication
In the Seller API menu, click Authentication.
Generate your API key
Click the green Generate API key button. A new key cancels any key you generated before.
Copy the full key
In the popup, click Copy to copy the whole key. Takealot only shows it once, so paste it into TSeller straight away.
Paste the key into TSeller
Signing up? Paste the key into the API key field and click Continue. Already have an account? Paste it under Settings › Takealot Settings and save. TSeller checks the key with Takealot and loads your store.
Real-Time Updates (Webhook)
A webhook makes Takealot tell TSeller about new orders, sale status changes and offer updates the moment they happen. Set it up once, after your API key.
Go to API Integrations
In the left-hand menu, click API Integrations.
Open Configuring Webhooks
In the Webhooks menu, click Configuring Webhooks.
Create a webhook
Click the green Create Webhook button.
Paste your TSeller webhook URL
Paste your TSeller webhook URL into the URL field. You'll find it on the webhook step when you sign up, or under Settings › Takealot Settings.
Add every event
Click + next to Event(s) and add every event in the list.
Create the webhook
With every event added, click Create.
Switch the webhook to Active
New webhooks start inactive. Switch Active on so Takealot starts sending events to TSeller.
Test Your Webhook
Send a test notification
Click the ⋮ menu on your webhook and choose Send test notification.
Pick an event to send
Choose any event from the list to send a test to TSeller.
