How to connect Trade Me API to SellerStrat

Trade Me is connected from Trade Me Seller Workspace using application authorization with seller-approved permissions. After Save access, SellerStrat verifies the connection and links store data to working modules.

Prepare access in Trade Me Seller Workspace

The connection uses application authorization with seller-approved permissions. Create store-specific access for Trade Me; do not reuse an owner's personal password.

Confirm the account belongs to New Zealand to avoid mixing stores and currencies.

Checks after connection

The main Trade Me workflow covers auctions, fixed-price offers, new and used goods and local delivery. Verify products, orders, settlements and inventory for the fulfillment models in use.

Operational reconciliation must reflect that fulfillment is seller-managed through selected New Zealand delivery services.

Protect access and data

Never send tokens or keys through chat, email or screenshots. A connection status and sanitized error text are enough for diagnostics.

When access is revoked, create a new value, save it and run a control import.

Frequently asked questions

When will Trade Me data appear?

Wait for Connected first. Initial import time depends on account volume and available API methods; verify period and row count in the opened module.

May I send a key to support?

No. Never send the secret value. Use connection status and sanitized error text for diagnostics.
