How do IQ Retail and Takealot work together?

You pick the system of truth (usually the ERP or store for stock). Wherehouse keeps IQ Retail and Takealot 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.

Does IQ have to move to the cloud?

No. IQ is typically on-premise. The connection points at your server. We will talk through network access during onboarding, because that is the real prerequisite, not a replatform.

Can I choose which branch feeds Takealot?

Yes. IQ has branches. Stock can be pulled per location so the marketplace follows the branch you actually pick from.

Do I still need the Takealot seller portal?

Yes. You keep owning the seller account. Wherehouse keeps stock, orders and fees flowing through it, and can list and reprice without you living in the portal. Think of us as the operator layer, not a replacement marketplace login.

Can you list my catalogue on Takealot?

Yes. We take the product data you already have, reshape it for Takealot, and submit in bulk. R5 per SKU, once-off. Failures to submit are refunded. Auto-listing is best-effort: most sellers see 90%+ success, but Takealot QC can still fail a row.

How do you stop overselling on Takealot?

Stock updates from the store or ERP you pick as truth. You can hold a buffer on Takealot so another channel can still sell the last units. Overrides can force a SKU out of stock on Takealot without touching Makro.

What about Takealot fees and stock recon?

Per-order fees come through with the sale so profit and accounting are real. On the recon side, we can read Takealot’s monthly sheet and help you build a compliant claim for inventory they cannot account for, instead of leaving it.

Can you win the Takealot Buy Box?

The repricer watches competitor prices and pushes a winning price through your own seller account. Fixed band, or cost-based from cost plus fees to a profit target. Never below your floor. If we cannot win profitably, we hold.

Credit notes

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. IQ Retail and Takealot should share one picture, with your rules on top.

📦 Branch stock drives the web

IQ stock per location can decide what Takealot, Makro and your store are allowed to sell.

🛍️ Online orders become IQ sales orders

No double-capture between till and web. The shop floor sees the marketplace sale.

🚀 Whole range live, in days

Pick products, pick Takealot, send. AI fills thin titles and attributes so listings are ready for QC. If the page already exists, we attach your offer instead of creating a duplicate.

Your rules, not a generic sync

How it works

Connect both

Your IQ Retail account and your Takealot 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

IQ Retail and Takealot keep sharing the live picture in the background.
