Contact the marketplace to know if you are eligible to sell your products on their website.
To display your products on this marketplace, check that your products catalogue contains the data normally required.
Note: you don't have these values in your products catalogue? Contact the Lengow Support Team to find an alternative.
If you wish to publish some of your products in the Veepee Outlet Shop, please send the list of references to your Veepee sales team. No particular action is expected in Lengow.
Pink Connect
Veepee uses Pink Connect technology.
The Brandsplace
The Brandsplace (Veepee Marketplace) allows you to display 3 types of sales:
- The "Connected Flash Sales" (short term)
- The "Longtails" (permanent)
- The "Themes" (linked between brands)
Veepee may also offer "OneDay" sales to certain sellers only.
These types of sales are defined upstream between you and your Veepee contact (choice of dates, impacted products, discounts, etc.). Then they are configured by Veepee directly based on the catalog information, received from your Lengow feed.
All sales therefore use the initial catalog that you set up on Lengow and which is sent via PinkConnect.
The Place
The Place (Marketplace VeePee) allows you to offer new collections.
This offer is based on non-discounted products and must therefore meet the following condition: the fields "manufacturer_recommended_price" and "selling_price" must be identical.
EAN Matching
Veepee is a brandsplace (read above) which means you will be the unique seller of your products. With that said, EAN Matching is not available for this marketplace, since all products pages you will be displayed there will have to be created by you.
Add a channel catalogue
Four countries are available for Veepee: France, Spain, Italy and Belgium.
Settings can be duplicated when adding another country.
- The source catalog must have the same structure for the different countries.
Please note that same categories may have different mandatory attributes per country. - Only fields title, description and notice are not duplicated
Match Categories
Match your categories with Veepee's through "Categories Matching".
Complete Attributes Matching
Match your products catalogue fields with the fields requested by the channel, based on field definition. If necessary, enter hard values, use functions and/or adapt the values by creating rules. For fields with valid values, select the suggested value or match with your products catalogue values.
If a value is missing in the drop-down menu, please contact your channel account manager and ask for the creation of the concerned value.
Some fields are mandatory and must be completed for your products to be created or updated. Other fields are optional but the channel recommends you fill them in to improve your products visibility.
1. Set up your special offers/sales
For Sales operations, please read the dedicated guide.
To set up special offers, fill in the following fields:
- manufacturer_recommended_price: strike-through price of your product (original price). You shouldn't modify it even during promotions.
- selling_price: discounted price of your product (final price). If your product is not discounted, the "selling_price" must be equal to the "manufacturer_recommended_price".
- retail_price_justification: statement justifying the origin of the strike-through price displayed (free text).
2. Delivery method and costs
The configuration of delivery methods and costs must be set on your Veepee back office.
Contact your Brand Support should you have any questions.
3. Variation values
Veepee accepts size and/or colour, for product variations.
To manage your variations, fill in the following fields for child lines:
- modèle: parent identifier (a common identifier for all the variations of a product). This field must remain empty if your product has no variations.
- variation_type: Indicate here the type of variation. You can set variations on two attributes maximum. Use the "comma" as separator. Here are the possible values if a product is varied on only one attribute: "color", "size".
- is_variation: Informs of the presence of variations or not. Set "true" for child products and "false" for parents and simple products.
4. VAT legislation - Get compliant!
To get compliant with European VAT legislation, fill in these three attributes in the Attributes Matching step:
- shipped_from_country
- shipped_from_region
- shipped_from_eu_vat_zone
Manage your Exclusions
Follow the usual instructions for exclusions for this channel:
Are there product variations in your catalogue? Check whether the parent products should be excluded or not in the step above dedicated to variations.

Launch the channel catalogue
- Before sending your optimised catalogue to Veepee, check that your Veepee online store has been created and opened.
Note: Do not hesitate to contact your Brand Support before making the first launch to the marketplace to ensure that everything is in order at their end to receive your products.
Then your feed is automatically sent to Veepee by API.
The sent stream contains your :
- Product datas (once a day): enable the integration and creation of products.
- Offer datas (every hours): enable the update of prices, stock, etc.
Read Integration Reports
Read product and offer Integration Reports to check that your products are properly configured, either at product creation level (product feed) or updates (offer feed). These reports list only items which were rejected by Veepee. For each product in error, Veepee specifies the reason for the rejection.
Product and offer integration reports are available and downloadable from Lengow: "Channel" tab > select "Veepee" > click on "Activity"
Edit a product file
- Edit "product data"
Contact your Veepee account manager to edit this data.
- Edit "offer data"
Data is automatically updated as soon as the offer feed is sent out.
Unpublish/Delete an offer
- To stop advertising an offer on Veepee, read our recommendations.
- It is not possible to delete an offer from your Veepee back office.
Case of products in error that you cannot correct
Veepee doesn't allow to unpublish products if an attribute is missing.
If an attribute is missing for an already published product, you have to realise an exclusion. Lengow will send the last known correct values for this product to Veepee. This'll make it possible to unpublish the product.

Jusqu’à présent, vous pouviez mettre en forme vos descriptions de produits, vos offres et vos variantes à l’aide de styles CSS ajoutés dans les balises HTML <style>.
Pourtant, de récents audits de sécurité ont indiqué que ces balises peuvent être utilisées comme une brèche pour une attaque.
Ainsi, suite aux nouvelles règles de sécurité, ces balises ne seront plus utilisables à partir du 23 février.
Exemple :
AVANT:
<div style=“color:red; »>
<p>Une description</p>
</div>
APRÈS:
<div>
<p>Une description</p>
</div>
Balises CSS supprimés
En d’autres termes, les balises suivantes précédemment prises en charge ne fonctionneront plus :
- color
- opacity
- overflow-wrap
- text-align
- text-indent

- font-size
- font-weight
- font-style
- width

Balises HTML acceptés
Après la mise hors service, seules les balises de formatage HTML simples seront acceptées.
Toutes les balises CSS <style> seront supprimés avant l’affichage du produit.
