Create bol API keys

Where to create a bol Retailer API client ID and secret in your seller account, and how to revoke them.

Kizing connects to bol with Retailer API credentials that you create in your own bol seller account. bol doesn't need to approve anything; the keys are yours and you can delete them at any time.

Create the keys

Sign in to your bol seller account (the Partner Platform) as the account owner.
Open Settings, then API settings.
If bol asks for a technical contact first, add one: your own name and email address are fine.
Create new credentials for the Retailer API. Give them a name you will recognise, for example "Kizing".
bol shows a client ID and a secret. Copy both. The secret is long; make sure you copy all of it.
In Kizing, open Connect, paste the client ID and secret under bol and press Connect bol.

Kizing asks bol for an access token and reads your first page of offers straight away, so a wrong or incomplete key is caught before anything is stored.

After you connect

Kizing shows up under the authorised parties for the Retailer API in your bol API settings.
One set of credentials covers your bol account for both the Netherlands and Belgium.

Revoke access

Delete the credentials in bol's API settings. Sync stops at the next run; Kizing marks the connection as needing new keys and sends you an alert. Paste new keys on the Connect page and sync carries on where it stopped.

Common problems

"The marketplace didn't accept these keys." The secret was cut off when copying, or the credentials were deleted. Create a new pair.
bol's demo environment. Demo keys only return bol's fixed example data. Use production keys for your shop.
