# Kaufland Integration

> Connect your Kaufland seller account to WISEPIM. Sync product data, optimize listings, and meet Kaufland data quality requirements.

Kaufland.de is one of the largest online marketplaces in Germany. Connect your seller account to WISEPIM to manage all your listings in one place, optimize them for the marketplace, and meet Kaufland's strict data requirements before you publish.

<Info>
  Kaufland runs across several European markets, including Germany, Czechia, Slovakia, Austria, and Poland. WISEPIM lets you manage product data for every market from one project.

Make sure you have:

* An active Kaufland.de seller account with API access enabled
* A WISEPIM account with an active project
* Your Kaufland **API Key** (Client Key) and **API Secret** (Secret Key) (you'll get these next)

## Get your Kaufland API credentials

You need an API key and secret from your Kaufland seller account to connect.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the API settings in Kaufland">
    Sign in to the [Kaufland Seller Portal](https://sellerportal.kaufland.de). Go to **Settings** and open the **API** or **Interface** section.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create your API credentials">
    Click **Create new API key** (or similar). Kaufland gives you two values:

    | Credential                  | What it is                            |
    | --------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
    | **Client Key** (API Key)    | Your unique identifier for API access |
    | **Secret Key** (API Secret) | Your authentication secret            |

    Copy both and store them securely.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the API permissions">
    Make sure your API key has these permissions:

    * **Products**: read and write
    * **Categories**: read
    * **Orders**: read (optional, for analytics)
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Keep your API Secret confidential. Never share it publicly, commit it to version control, or send it over unencrypted channels. If you think it's been exposed, regenerate it in the Kaufland Seller Portal right away.
</Warning>

## Connect Kaufland to WISEPIM

With your credentials ready, set up the integration in WISEPIM.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Integrations page">
    In WISEPIM, go to **Integrations** from the main sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Kaufland.de">
    Find the **Kaufland.de** tile in the App Marketplace and click it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your credentials">
    Fill in your **API Key** (Client Key) and **API Secret** (Secret Key).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test and save">
    Click **Test Connection** to confirm WISEPIM can reach your seller account. When the test passes, click **Save**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Check>
  A successful test confirms your credentials are valid and your permissions are set correctly.
</Check>

## Import products from Kaufland

Pull your existing Kaufland listings into WISEPIM to manage them centrally.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start the import">
    Go to the **Products** page, click **Import**, and select **Kaufland.de** as the source.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Let WISEPIM fetch your listings">
    WISEPIM imports your listings, including:

    * Titles and descriptions
    * EAN/GTIN identifiers
    * Prices and shipping info
    * Images
    * Category assignments
    * Attributes and specifications
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Export products to Kaufland

Once your products are enriched, push optimized listings back to Kaufland.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select your products">
    On the **Products** page, select the products you want to export.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Export to Kaufland">
    Click **Export** and choose **Kaufland.de** as the destination.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and confirm">
    Check the export preview to verify your data, then confirm.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Enrich your titles and descriptions with AI before you export. Well-optimized listings rank higher in Kaufland search and convert better.
</Tip>

## Map categories and meet data requirements

Kaufland uses a fixed category tree. Your products must be mapped to it, and each category requires specific attributes. Get this right and your listings get accepted and show up in the correct search results.

### Map your categories

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Attribute Mapper">
    On the **Integrations** page, click **Open Attribute Mapper** on your Kaufland tile.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Map categories and required fields">
    Match your WISEPIM categories to the matching Kaufland categories. Then map the attributes for each category's required fields.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the mapping">
    Save your configuration.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  Kaufland requires specific attributes per category, such as brand, color, size, or material. The Attribute Mapper helps you fill every required field before export, so fewer listings get rejected.
</Info>

### How WISEPIM helps you comply

Kaufland has strict data quality rules. WISEPIM checks your data before export by:

* **Validating required fields** so you catch missing data early
* **Standardizing attribute values** to match Kaufland's expected formats
* **Verifying EAN/GTIN codes** to confirm your product identifiers are valid
* **Checking images** against Kaufland's specifications

<Warning>
  Listings that don't meet Kaufland's requirements can be rejected or shown less often. Always review the export preview and clear any validation warnings before you confirm.
</Warning>

## Sell across multiple markets

Kaufland operates in several European markets, and you can manage them all from one WISEPIM project. With this you can:

* Translate content from German into Czech, Slovak, Polish, and more with AI translation
* Keep product information consistent across markets
* Export to each market with the right language and localization

<Tip>
  Start with your main market (usually Germany), then use WISEPIM's translation features to expand to other Kaufland markets with consistent quality.
</Tip>
