South Africa bidorbuy Connector
Build the official bidorbuy / Bob Shop Trade Feed from your Odoo products â list, restock and reprice through bidorbuy's Store Integrator
Generates the trade feed bidorbuy actually pulls
bidorbuy (now Bob Shop) is South Africa's long-running online marketplace and auction site. Its standard seller integration is the Store Integrator product feed, which is pull-based: you publish a trade-feed XML document and bidorbuy retrieves it from your URL (normally once a day), automatically listing new items and updating stock & price. This connector turns your Odoo catalogue into exactly that feed (Store Integrator SchemaVersion 1.1) and lets you download or host it.
How order management works on bidorbuy: bidorbuy does not publish a public seller REST API. Orders, order status and courier tracking are managed in bidorbuy's own after-sales web console (tracking numbers are sent to the buyer as a public note). This module therefore focuses on what is automatable from Odoo â the product trade feed. An optional, advanced direct-API mode is included for sellers who have been given a private/partner HTTP endpoint by bidorbuy; it is OFF by default and is not required for normal use (see "Optional" below).
Trade-feed listings
Build the official bidorbuy Trade Feed (SchemaVersion 1.1) from any product you mark "Listed on bidorbuy". Product code, category path, price, market price, available quantity, condition (New / Secondhand / Refurbished), product attributes, images, summary and description are all emitted exactly as the bidorbuy Store Integrator expects.
Stock & price sync
An hourly job (and one-click buttons) rebuild and submit the feed so bidorbuy always has your current Odoo on-hand quantity and sales price. Quantities are rounded and clamped the same way bidorbuy does. Listings whose product you unlist drop out of the feed.
Download & host the feed
A one-click wizard generates the trade-feed XML and offers it for download, so you can host it at a public URL and hand that URL to bidorbuy. The feed is round-trip validated (re-parsed) before it leaves Odoo, so what you publish is well-formed.
Condition, images & categories
Per-product bidorbuy condition (New / Secondhand / Refurbished), absolute image URLs, market (struck-through) price and your full Odoo category path are emitted exactly as the Store Integrator schema expects. Untick "Listed on bidorbuy" and the product drops out of the next feed.
South Africa data hygiene
Buyer data coming back from bidorbuy is cleaned with published South African formats:
- VAT number â structural validation (10 digits beginning with 4, as allocated by SARS); a stored flag lets you filter partners with a valid ZA VAT number.
- Mobile number â normalised to E.164
+27XXXXXXXXXfrom local0XXXXXXXXX,27XXXXXXXXXor+27…forms. - Postal code â validated as a 4-digit South African code.

Optional: direct bidorbuy API (advanced)
bidorbuy publishes no public seller REST API. For completeness the module ships an optional direct-API mode (OFF by default) that can push the feed and sync orders, order status and courier tracking over HTTP using a bring-your-own-key credential. It is intended only for sellers who have been provisioned a private / partner endpoint by bidorbuy: you enable it in Settings and enter that endpoint's Base URL and key. With it disabled, the order-fetch cron and the status / tracking push buttons stay inactive â you manage orders and tracking in bidorbuy's after-sales web console, which is how standard bidorbuy selling works. Nothing in the normal listing workflow depends on it.
Requirements
- Odoo 18.0 or 19.0 (Community or Enterprise).
- An active bidorbuy / Bob Shop seller account (advanced seller, for product feeds).
- A public URL where you can host the generated trade-feed XML for bidorbuy to poll.
- The Python
requestslibrary (only used by the optional direct-API mode; bundled with most Odoo deployments).
