Therefore, Lengow invites to fill in the value you want to assign to your product/s in your Lengow account (in the Attributes Matching or with a Rule). The value which you indicates has to be exactly the same as the one you created in your allegro back-office (same case, same spelling).

Lengow will then match this value to the ID retrieved from your account via the allegro API, to send the corresponding allegro ID.

How to know if the matching has been done correctly?

If the value you've filled in in Lengow doesn't match with one of the value from your backoffice, the product will be in error. Please read the integration report and get back to the Attibutes Matching to change the value if necessary.
