Groupon Marketplace Listings Management

Overview

Groupon Marketplace is an eCommerce platform that connects consumers with local businesses and national brands through discounted deals on products and services. The Groupon Marketplace Account Integration allows you to update inventory and prices from Sellercloud. Product changes can be pushed either manually or automatically.

Groupon previously operated Groupon Goods and Groupon Marketplace as separate platforms, but they have since merged into a single one. To support this transition, two sets of settings remain available—one for the Groupon Goods setup and another for the Groupon Marketplace configuration outlined below. We strongly recommend using the Groupon Account Integration, as it aligns with the latest platform structure, ensuring better compatibility and smoother operations.
Groupon is deprecating EDI support for inventory upload effective March 31, 2025. To migrate this functionality to API, follow the instructions here.

Prepare a Product for Groupon Marketplace

Before you can start updating your Groupon Marketplace Listings through Sellercloud, you need to make sure you have configured them.

  1. Go to Catalog > Manage Catalog > Open a product.
  2. Toolbox > Groupon Marketplace.
  3. Click Edit and select the Enabled checkbox. Fill in the product details as needed.
  4. Click Save.
Field  Description
Enabled Check the box to allow Sellercloud to send automatic inventory and price updates for the product.
Merchant SKU Channel-specific SKU for Groupon Marketplace.
Marketplace Cost Expenses and fees associated with using the marketplace to list your product.
Marketplace Price Product’s price on Groupon Marketplace.

Check Default to use the product’s Site Price.

Avail. Qty Overall Sellable Product Quantity across all warehouses.
Safety Qty A quantity to subtract from the overall Available Quantity to prevent overselling. This amount won’t be included in the inventory feed.

Check Default to use the safety quantity from your Company’s Groupon Marketplace General Settings. 

Enable Max Qty This enables a limited maximum product quantity to be sent to Groupon Marketplace. Once your product’s inventory is below the predefined Max Qty, the actual inventory value will be exported to the channel. Check Use Default to use the company Max Qty for Groupon Marketplace.
Replenishable Enable for SKUs that are consistently restocked or tend to restock quickly. This option keeps your listings active and prevents the loss of potential sales. We send the company Default Qty set for Groupon Marketplace.
