By adding the integration, you connect Xentral to your OTTO merchant account and specify which data is exchanged between the two systems. A wizard guides you through the setup.
-
Your registration as a partner on OTTO Market is complete and you know your credentials for OTTO Partner Connect.
-
You have administrator rights in Xentral.
-
Navigate to Settings > Integrations.
-
Click on New integration. The Integrations page ("Connect a sales channel to Xentral") displays the already installed integrations in the Installed area and the remaining integrations in the Available area. With the Search, Price, Provider, and Category filters, you narrow down the selection.
-
Click on OTTO.
-
If OTTO is not installed yet, the detail page opens with "Book this integration" and the sections About this integration, Included features, Booking, and Provider. Click on Install.
-
If OTTO is already installed, the wizard for creating a new integration opens directly.
-
Xentral opens the Create new Otto integration wizard. It guides you through the setup in three steps: Authorization, Details, and Review. With Cancel, you exit the wizard without saving anything.
-
In the Authorization step ("Connect the account"), connect Xentral to your OTTO account. You log in directly on OTTO. Click on Connect with Otto. Xentral redirects you to the OTTO consent page. Log in there with your OTTO login and give your consent. Afterward, you return to the wizard to finish the integration. Then click on Next.
-
In the Details step, enter a name under Integration name by which you recognize the integration, e.g., "OTTO Market". The name must be unique.
-
Leave the Activate production mode option deactivated. You set the mode to "Production mode" in the general settings under Identity only after you have completed and tested the setup.
-
Activate the features you want to use (see the table below) and click on Next. We recommend activating all features. Each feature transfers data only once you set it to Active in the workflows.
-
In the Review step, check your entries and complete the wizard. Creating the integration takes a brief moment.
You can change the name of the integration later in the general settings in the Identity section.
