Back Market API Orders Overview

Overview

Back Market is a marketplace for selling refurbished Apple goods and other electronic devices such as laptops, tablets, gaming consoles, cameras, and more. You can automate order download, update order status, and refund Back Market orders from your Sellercloud account.

With the Backmarket API Account Integration, you can easily import and synchronize your Back Market orders. Workflow automations in Sellercloud include order download, tracking upload, and PDF Invoices.

We currently support two Back Market Integrations: the one outlined in this article and our Legacy Integration. The two cannot work simultaneously in one Sellercloud Account, as this may lead to duplicate orders and errors.

Order Download and Tracking Upload

You can download orders from Back Market to your Sellercloud account automatically and manually.

  1. Go to Settings > Companies > Manage Companies > Select a Company.
  2. Toolbox > Backmarket > General Settings > Edit.

Manage Orders

You can only cancel Unshipped orders from Sellercloud. In case the order is Shipped, but the customer returns an item, you should create an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) and handle cancellations and refunds there.
