How it works

Set it up once, then it runs by itself

  1. 1

    Connect your ads

    Create keys for the Advertising API at bol and paste them into Bkoppeling. We check them right away and pull in your campaigns and figures.

  2. 2

    See what every euro brings in

    Costs, revenue, ACoS and clicks per campaign, product and keyword, updated every half hour. Per product you also see what's left after your margin.

  3. 3

    Adjust with one click

    Advertise a product, raise or lower a bid, exclude a search term or pause a campaign. Every change is recorded in the log.

Advertise with one click

Your best-selling products without an ad have a button. Choose a daily budget and Bkoppeling creates an automatic campaign in which bol picks the keywords. Or add the product to a campaign you already have.

Bid advice based on your margin

For each keyword, Bkoppeling looks at two things: what wins on average at bol, and what a click for this product can afford to cost (your margin per item times the conversion rate). The advice follows from that:

  • lots of clicks and no sales: lower the bid or pause
  • a click costs more than it brings in: bid what it can afford to cost
  • sells at a profit and your bid is below the winning bid: raise the bid, never above what a click can afford to cost

Search terms that only cost money

You see what people searched for before they clicked your ad. If a search term cost money without a single sale, you exclude it with one click. If a search term sells really well, you turn it into a keyword of its own with your own bid.

Reliable, even when bol is busy

Every change is first recorded and then carried out. If bol asks you to wait, the change goes through automatically later; clicking twice never runs it twice. If a new campaign only half succeeds, Bkoppeling pauses it so no money leaks away.

Good to know

What Bkoppeling doesn't do here, so you don't run into any surprises.

  • For ads, you create separate keys at bol: the ones for your seller account (the Retailer API) don't work here.
  • bol provides the figures for the last 30 days. Sales count up to 14 days after a click, so the most recent days are still rising.
  • You only see profit after ads for products with a purchase price.

Questions

Questions about ads

Don't see your question? Email klantenservice@bkoppeling.nl.

Which keys do I need?

The ones for bol's Advertising API. You create those separately at bol; the keys for your seller account (the Retailer API) don't work for ads. Your dashboard shows step by step where to find them.

How much does the Ads module cost?

€ 19,95 per month per seller account, with every plan. The first 14 days are free. What you spend on ads at bol, you pay to bol as always.

How often are the figures updated?

Every half hour, Bkoppeling retrieves your campaigns and the figures for today and yesterday; once a day, the last 30 days, the search terms and the winning bid per keyword.

Can I still advertise directly at bol?

Yes. What you change at bol, you'll also see in Bkoppeling after the next sync. You can use both interchangeably.

After the next shipment, it's already working.
