Setting up Books in Belgium

Integrating your Books in Belgium account with StoreLinkr only requires a single API key. This guide walks you through getting that key and connecting your account.

1. Get Your API Key from Books in Belgium​

  1. Open the Books in Belgium website and log in.
  2. Click on My account and Settings in the top right corner.
  3. Expand the services panel and click on API Settings.
  4. Copy the API key to your clipboard.

2. Connect to StoreLinkr Portal​

With your API key ready, finish the connection in StoreLinkr:

  1. Log in to your StoreLinkr Portal.
  2. Navigate to Sales Channels -> Marketplaces.
  3. Click Connect a marketplace.
  4. Select Books in Belgium in the "Select a platform" modal and click Continue.
  5. Paste your API Key into the field.
  6. Choose the Product Selection and Pricelist that determine which of your products are offered and at what price.
  7. Click Save & Test Connection.

StoreLinkr will validate the API key before finalizing the connection.

3. Map Your Categories​

Books in Belgium uses an extensive, multi-level category tree — fiction, non-fiction, children's & youth books, school & study, comics, magazines, and more. Before StoreLinkr can export a product, its category must be mapped to one of these.

  1. Navigate to your Books in Belgium integration and check the Improvements panel — StoreLinkr flags how many of your categories are still unmapped.
  2. Follow the Marketplace Categories guide to map each of your StoreLinkr categories to the matching Books in Belgium category.
  3. Products in unmapped categories will not be exported until a mapping exists.
Good to know

The ISBN sent to Books in Belgium is taken directly from each product's EAN field, so make sure that field holds a valid ISBN. Only open orders (not yet shipped or completed) are imported — Books in Belgium's own historical order data isn't pulled in.
