How do Bobshop and Makro work together?

You pick the system of truth (usually the ERP or store for stock). Wherehouse keeps Bobshop and Makro in step: stock, orders and pricing flow with your rules, so you are not recapturing data between them. A dedicated account manager sets this up with example orders first.

Is Bobshop the same as bidorbuy?

Yes. Long-standing sellers still say bidorbuy. Same marketplace, new name. The connection is the same.

Do you create Bobshop listings one by one?

Bobshop runs on a product feed rather than a per-offer portal grind. Eligible products go live once the feed is connected, and they stay updated as stock and price change.

Can you list new products on Makro?

Yes. Makro is full auto-list: create the listing, then promote to QC. That second step can happen inside Wherehouse. If a Makro product page already exists, we attach your offer instead of cloning it.

Is Makro worth it if I am already on Takealot?

For a lot of sellers, yes. It is a different shopper and a different Buy Box. Makro alone can unlock 15 to 30% extra revenue for sellers who compete properly on price, without hiring another ops person if stock and orders are already flowing.

How does Makro pricing work with the repricer?

You set rules (a band, or cost plus fees to a profit target). We watch competing offers and push a winning price through your Makro seller account. If we cannot win above your floor, we hold. A manual override always wins, including over the repricer.

Is there a setup fee?

No. There are no setup fees on any plan. During onboarding we ingest your catalogue and sync a couple of test orders and products, so you know it works before you rely on it. You only pay once the account is live. Billed monthly. Cancel any time.

How long does onboarding take?

Usually 1 to 10 business days, depending on how many platforms you connect and how specific your rules are. A dedicated account manager sets it up with you. We run specified example orders first. Nothing automatic goes through until those are right.

Bobshop & Makro integration

Connect Bobshop and Makro without the double work.

Two systems, one picture:

Bobshop and Makro stay in step: stock, orders and pricing flow with the rules you already run, so adding a channel does not add a second admin job.

Fees

Two platforms should not mean two jobs.

Every extra login is another place to update stock, recapture orders and reconcile fees. That is how overselling and messy books start. Bobshop and Makro should share one picture, with your rules on top.

📦 Feed stays current

Titles, images, stock and price you already maintain keep the Bobshop feed in shape. No weekly rebuild.

🛍️ Orders captured automatically

Bobshop sales land in your store or ERP with buyer and delivery details, so picking is the same motion as every other channel.

🚀 Listings that clear Makro QC

We take the catalogue you already have, reshape it for Makro, and can send draft through to QC inside Wherehouse. If the product already exists, we latch your offer onto it.

Your rules, not a generic sync

How it works

Connect both

Your Bobshop account and your Makro account. You pick which one holds the truth.

See the flow

Stock, orders and pricing should move one way, on purpose. We map that to how you already operate, not a generic template.

Apply your rules

Buffers, price uplifts, which SKUs are allowed. A rule can apply to one platform and leave the other alone.

Stay in step

Bobshop and Makro keep sharing the live picture in the background.
