Kaufland Store Management

Connect your Kaufland Global Marketplace seller account to Odoo through the Kaufland Seller API v2. Every request is signed with HMAC-SHA256 using the Shop-Client-Key, Shop-Timestamp and Shop-Signature headers Kaufland requires, keyed with your own Client Key and Secret Key. Manage offers, orders, returns and inventory across all nine Kaufland storefronts from a single Odoo instance.

Prerequisites​

  • Odoo 17, 18 or 19 (Community or Enterprise). Odoo Online (SaaS) cannot install third-party modules.
  • A Kaufland Global Marketplace seller account with API access
  • Your Client Key and Secret Key from the Kaufland Seller Portal
  • The requests Python package

Installation​

  1. Download the module ZIP for your Odoo version from your ECOSIRE Dashboard
  2. Extract it so kaufland_store_management/ sits inside a directory on your addons_path:
    unzip ecosire-kaufland-*.zip -d /opt/odoo/addons/
  3. Restart the Odoo service:
    sudo systemctl restart odoo
  4. Navigate to Apps, click Update Apps List
  5. Search for Kaufland Store Management and click Install

Configuration​

Step 1: Get your Kaufland API credentials​

  1. Sign in to your Kaufland Seller Portal
  2. Open your account's API access settings
  3. Copy your Client Key and Secret Key — one key pair covers every storefront

Step 2: Connect in Odoo​

  1. Navigate to Kaufland → Configuration → Settings
  2. Create a configuration and enter:
    • Client Key (client_key) — your Kaufland API access key
    • Secret Key (secret_key) — used for HMAC-SHA256 signature generation; stored as a password field
    • Storefront (storefront) — Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Austria, France, Italy, Spain or the Netherlands
    • Company (company_id)
  3. Click Test Connection to verify API access before importing anything

The Client Key and Secret Key fields are visible only to Settings administrators.

Step 3: Configure sync settings​

Products and offers — the product and inventory syncs read and write your offers (units), which is the seller-side record Kaufland sells from. Product sync runs hourly, inventory every 15 minutes.

Orders — imported every 30 minutes, with the order-unit lifecycle (send, cancel, fulfil, refund) pushed back to Kaufland. The payment-method mapping decides which Odoo journal a Kaufland payment lands in, and fulfilment pushes tracking numbers.

Customers — every 6 hours. The order import and the customer sync resolve a buyer through the same partner resolver, so the same buyer reaching Odoo through both paths is filed once.

Push notifications — subscribe to any of the 17 documented Kaufland events under Kaufland → Configuration → Push Subscriptions. Kaufland's subscription challenge handshake is answered automatically, and deliveries are accepted only when their signature verifies against an active subscription.

Initial sync​

  1. Go to Kaufland → Operations → Import Wizard
  2. Select the data types to import (products, customers, orders)
  3. Set a date range for historical orders
  4. Start the import and monitor progress in Operations → Logs

Run a small import first and check the results before letting the scheduled actions take over.

  • Sales trend chart (Chart.js line chart) with interactive date filtering
  • Order status breakdown showing the distribution across statuses
  • Period filters — Today, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, Year, or a custom range
  • Activity feed of recent sync log entries
  • Quick actions for Products, Orders, Customers, Queue, Logs and Settings
  • Status footer with queue jobs, errors, out-of-stock items and sync rate
  • Auto-refresh every 60 seconds, with dark mode support

Troubleshooting​

IssueSolution
Connection failedRe-check the Client Key and Secret Key and confirm they belong to the storefront you selected
Signature mismatchThe signature covers the exact URL and raw body — check that nothing rewrites the request in transit, and that the server clock is synchronised
Sync not runningCheck that Odoo's scheduled actions are enabled and that the cron worker is running
Orders not importingReview the order status filters and the date range
Records map to the wrong Odoo valuesCorrect the mapping records under the module's configuration, then re-run the import
Push events never arriveConfirm the subscription is active and that the callback URL is reachable from the internet; a delivery whose signature does not verify is rejected with 403 and logged
Storefront not availableValid storefronts are: de, cz, sk, pl, at, fr, it, es, nl
EAN requiredKaufland requires a valid EAN/GTIN for products
Module will not installThe extracted folder is not inside a directory on addons_path, or requests is missing from Odoo's Python environment
