What is Groupon?
Groupon can mean two very different seller activities. Groupon Merchant is the better-known offer for local promotions, campaign-based deals and vouchers redeemed with a service provider. This integration concerns Groupon Goods, the marketplace for physical products operated through the CommerceInterface Gateway. An authorized supplier receives product orders there, maintains an available quantity and returns shipping details. The Groupon Goods integration exchanges three flows with the marketplace: importing new orders, exporting and reconciling inventory quantities, and sending the carrier plus tracking number when a shipment is confirmed. Once imported, a Groupon Goods order can also use myFulfillment’s shared purchasing, shipping, returns and multi-location inventory processes. Optional myWebPOS store fulfillment applies after the order reaches myFulfillment; it runs on the myFulfillment side and adds no Groupon API exchange. If an order already exists in myFulfillment, the import leaves it in place and its status is no longer updated from Groupon afterwards. A user-provided CSV can associate Vendor SKU, title and EAN with myFulfillment product references, but that path does not publish a catalog to Groupon Goods. Seller access remains in the Gateway, while the Boostmyshop team handles the assisted module configuration and validates each data flow before routine synchronization is enabled.
Groupon integration: the flows exchanged with myFulfillment
Groupon Goods sends new orders into myFulfillment. myFulfillment sends available quantities and shipment tracking back to the marketplace. Groupon Merchant's local campaigns and voucher redemption remain a separate activity.
