Cdiscount upgrades to Octopia API: Explore what’s new on the marketplace!

Big News at Cdiscount! After unveiling a brand-new visual identity to get even closer to French consumers, the marketplace continues its transformation. Next major step: the migration to the Octopia API.

Find out what this means for you and how to prepare for this evolution right now.

Octopia: The Game-Changing Solution

Launched by Cdiscount in 2021, Octopia is the solution designed to support marketplaces in expanding and enhancing their product offerings. In some cases, Octopia steps in right from the platform’s launch; in others, it collaborates with well-established international marketplaces already familiar to ecommerce sellers—making it a key business opportunity.

What’s Changing?

Content Updates

With the new API, all sellers can now contribute to enriching product listings—even if they didn’t create them. You can add attributes to improve the quality of information for buyers. Updating this content will be faster, more accessible, and eliminate the need for manual processes via your seller dashboard.

Editing Product Listings

Another major advancement: If you’re the creator of a product listing, you can now directly edit its content (images, titles, descriptions)—something that wasn’t possible with the old API. No more tedious back-and-forth via files or seller support: updates are now quicker, easier, and give you more direct control over your products.

The Qualiscore

Octopia introduces a new concept: the Qualiscore. This rating, from A (best) to E (worst), directly impacts your offers’ visibility on the marketplace. The higher your score, the more exposure your products get with buyers.

How Does It Work?

• If you’re the listing creator, ensure there are no duplicates (titles, visuals, descriptions) and use high-quality images.
• If you’re a contributor, fill in attributes and facets accurately: these key elements improve search filtering and increase your products’ discoverability.

Thanks to the new API, updates are simplified, faster, and deliver higher-quality product content. Boost efficiency, improve your offers’ visibility, and cut down on tedious manual work. In short: a more modern, high-performance solution built to supercharge your marketplace business.

Scheduled for late June 2025, this migration is mandatory. Get ahead of the transition now and rely on Shoppingfeed’s team support every step of the way.
