Keep Bol.com and Outlook updated automatically.
Today you open the Bol.com seller account, copy the items and delivery address per order, and keep your own list of which ones are done. A return or a cancellation starts that round all over again. This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in Bol.com lands in Outlook by itself, in the shape Outlook expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

What each side expects
Bol.com and Outlook do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.
Bol.com
Bol.com thinks in orders split per item, with an EAN per line, its own order number and a delivery promise you are held to. Commission and shipping costs sit apart from the order line, so what you sell and what you get paid are two different amounts.
Outlook
A customer contact system wants a sender and a subject, so a message lands with the right customer.

Common questions
Can you connect Bol.com to Outlook?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Bol.com and Outlook, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Is a ticket created automatically in Outlook?
Yes. What arrives from Bol.com becomes a ticket in Outlook for the right customer, so a question does not sit somewhere unanswered.
Does Outlook recognise the sender as an existing customer?
The sender is looked up by email in Outlook and attached to the existing contact; with no match, a new contact is created.
Do I still have to log into Bol.com once the connector runs?
No. Once it runs, everything you now look up in the Bol.com seller account arrives in Outlook by itself. You only open Bol.com when you want to check something yourself.
What does connecting Bol.com and Outlook cost?
You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.
How often does Bol.com sync with Outlook?
That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.
Does the connector also pick up Bol.com returns and cancellations?
Yes. Besides new orders, Schakel also sees returns and cancellations on Bol.com, so Outlook does not lag behind what actually sold.
What if Bol.com or Outlook is briefly unavailable?
Nothing gets lost. Schakel retries later and the log shows exactly what happened, so at most you notice something coming through a little later.
Missing something you need?
Tell us what Bol.com and Outlook should do for you. If it is not in here yet, that is usually because nobody has asked. We build on request and we reply within 24 hours.
