Ensuring Smooth Auction Integration: Consistency in Product IDs

Avoiding Discrepancies in Product IDs

To ensure a smooth integration process and prevent discrepancies in product IDs, it's crucial to follow these steps:

  1. Clearly define the product ID: Collaborate closely with our technical team to establish a consistent and easily identifiable product ID that works seamlessly across both your systems and our auction and event integration.
  2. Consider using the business platform's ID: If possible, utilize the product ID already in use within your business platform, such as SKU or EAN, to maintain consistency and streamline the integration process. If not feasible, ensure proper mapping and identification of the chosen product ID for auction integration.
  3. Communicate effectively with our team: Keep our team informed about the chosen product ID during the integration process to align our systems accurately, ensuring proper tracking and attribution of products within the auction.
  4. Address product variants: If your business platform includes different product variants, such as sizes or colors, clarify how these variants will be handled in the auction integration to accurately attribute purchases. Ensure each variant is properly identified and tracked for optimal campaign performance.

By adhering to these guidelines, you can minimize discrepancies in product IDs and enhance the efficiency of the Topsort auction API integration. For personalized assistance or further inquiries regarding the integration process, don't hesitate to reach out to our dedicated support team.


Additionally, we recommend using the same internal ID for products across your database and business logic to maintain consistency and accuracy in auction operations and reporting. Whether it's an integer, string, or UUID, aligning product IDs ensures seamless functionality and reliable tracking within the Topsort platform.
