Settings template
The settings template includes all options required by Allegro in one place.
If you don’t want to use automation like category and attribute mapping, you can use templates instead. For example, you can create templates for each Allegro category you sell in and list products in bulk.
Template list
You can browse, edit, and add new auction settings templates.
New template / editing a template
A template contains all saved criteria for the listed auction:
Allegro account
Select Allegro account – choose the account where the auction will be listed.
Select marketplace
Select marketplace – choose the marketplace(s) where your offer should be listed.
Additional margin for international markets
Margin – enter a percentage value that Allegro API will add to the offer price.
Title and category
Auction title – leave empty to use the product name as the auction title. You can use shortcodes like or to create your own title.
Example:
Product name: T-shirt
Attribute name: color
Attribute values: green, red
Template title: Super Best Price!!!
Auction title: Super T-shirt Best Price!!! green red
Select account – here you can select which Allegro account is linked to the template. This determines which account the auctions will be listed from.
Allegro category – choose the Allegro category for listing products. If you’ve set category mapping or selected a category in the product settings, the category from the template will be ignored. You can also select a general category like Computers > Other > Other, and all products not mapped will be listed there.
Item specifics
Set product parameters required for the selected Allegro category.
Tax rate
In the auction settings template (and auction draft), you’ll find the Tax rate field.
When creating an auction for a WooCommerce product with a defined tax rate, the plugin will check the Allegro category and compare the tax rate from Allegro with the WooCommerce product’s rate. If they match, the product’s tax rate will be sent to the API. If they don’t match, the store admin can adjust the rate in the settings template, and that rate will be sent instead.
Product catalog
Select product from catalog – choose a product from the Allegro catalog. The plugin will search for items based on the category selected in the Allegro Category field. If a valid EAN (GTIN) code is entered, the plugin will suggest a matching product from the Allegro catalog.
Product images and description
Select template – choose a template created in the Description templates menu.
Sales formats
Offer type – select the type of listing. Available options:
