Prepare access in Takealot Seller Portal
The connection uses an API key and store identifiers from the seller workspace. Create store-specific access for Takealot; do not reuse an owner's personal password.
Confirm the account belongs to South Africa to avoid mixing stores and currencies.

Checks after connection
The main Takealot workflow covers broad catalog, local fulfillment, returns and South African market profit. Verify products, orders, settlements and inventory for the fulfillment models in use.
Operational reconciliation must reflect that inventory is separated between Takealot fulfillment centers and seller warehouses.
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 Takealot 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.
