When sending a description to Allegro, the content must follow strict HTML and content rules:

HTML formatting rules
  • All content must be wrapped in HTML tags, and only lowercase HTML tags are allowed.
  • h1 and h2 tags cannot be further formatted (no bold, no additional styling).
  • You may use bold (<b></b>), but only inside the following tags: <p></p><ul></ul><ol></ol>

  • Photos cannot be added in the description using HTML code.
Content restrictions

  • Links to external websites.
  • Any message suggesting that buyers should contact you before purchasing.

Make sure your description complies with all of these rules to avoid rejection by Allegro.

VAT legislation

In Lengow complete the "VAT Settings" field in the Attributes mapping.
This field is available at the Category Attributes level.

How to provide Allegro IDs (Shipping, Warranty, etc.)

Several Allegro attributes require a specific ID instead of a standard text value. While these IDs are generated by Allegro when you configure your back-office, you cannot find this ID in your allegro account.

Affected Fields:

  • delivery.shippingRates.id (delivery shipping rates id)
  • additionalServices.id (additional services id)
  • afterSalesServices.impliedWarranty.id (after sales services implied warranty id) (Complaints terms)
  • afterSalesServices.returnPolicy.id (after sales services return policy id)
  • afterSalesServices.warranty.id (after sales services warranty id)
  • contact.id (contact id)
  • sizeTable.id (size table id)

How to fill these fields in Lengow:

Since these IDs are not easily visible in your Allegro account, you do not need to find or enter the numeric ID.

  • Fill in the the name of the value exactly as you created it in your Allegro back-office. The text must be an exact match to what is in Allegro, including the same spelling and capitalisation. 
  • Lengow then uses the Allegro API to retrieve the unique ID associated with that name. Lengow sends the required ID to Allegro on your behalf.

  How to know if the mapping has been done correctly?

If the value you've filled in in Lengow doesn't map to one of the values from your back-office, the product will be in error. Please read the Channels report and get back to the attribute mapping to change the value if necessary.

General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) (for merchants selling in the EU)

To comply with the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) applicable from December 13, 2024 in the European Union, you must provide to Allegro the following information about your products through attributes available in Lengow: 

  • "responsibleProducer.name" (responsible producer name): the name (or trade name) of the manufacturer, 
  • "responsibleProducer.countryCode" (responsible producer country code): The country code of the manufacturer.
  • "responsibleProducer.street" (responsible producer street): The street address of the manufacturer.
  • "responsibleProducer.postalCode" (responsible producer postal code): The postal code of the manufacturer.
  • "responsibleProducer.city" (responsible producer city): The city of the manufacturer.
  • "responsibleProducer.email" (responsible producer email): The contact email of the manufacturer. (mandatory if no "responsibleProducer.formUrl" (responsible producer form url) is provided)
  • "responsibleProducer.phoneNumber" (responsible producer phone number): The phone number of the manufacturer.
  • "responsibleProducer.formUrl" (responsible producer form url): The contact URL form of the manufacturer. (mandatory if no email is provided)

You must provide safety information such as: user-manual (in Polish), images of labels on product packaging, and/or warning notes. 
If you select "no_safety_information" for a product, the field will automatically be converted to type "TEXT". You must therefore provide an explicit description in the corresponding field.
