Introduction and Overview
This article includes setup with technical and configuration instructions. The Barbeques Galore Marketplace is engineered by Marketplacer; some of the setup steps in Omnivore are customised and differ from other mainstream markets.
Before you begin, please be aware of the following points:
- To sell on the Barbeques Galore Market using Marketplacer, there must be an active and approved selling account. To confirm, please check with the onboarding team at Barbeques Galore Marketplace.

Shipping Setup
There are two options for Shipping Setup:
Shipping Profiles from the Marketplace OR Shipping Policies setup with Omnivore.
Follow this article for the setup options.
Brand Options
There are two brand options, which are, Map Brand OR Brand Slug (default)
Map Brands: If the 'Send the value as Map Brands' field is ticked in Omnivore, this means the retailer brand we send to the Marketplace has to be mapped on the Marketplace side. This is done by the Markeplacer Team or the retailer.
Brand Slug: This is the default brand setting. In this case, we send a brand list to the Marketplace. Once that brand list is in the Marketplace's database, we then reimport the brand list with any changes made by them. The reimported Brands in Omnivore now match what the Marketplace has. No further steps by the retailer or Omnivore are required.
Order Settings
Within the Omnivore, go to Settings - Barbeques Galore - General. The field called 'Prefix Order Number' must have a value entered. Whatever value is added into this field must also to have a - on the end e.g. barbequesgalore- will prefix the order number with that value.
Category Mapping
- To successfully list a product, it must be mapped to a Barbeques Galore Marketplace Category. The Category Mapping process in Omnivore is the same for all marketplaces.
- For more information on Category Mapping in Omnivore click here.
Product Identifiers
- This includes GTINs, UPC and EAN; the general rule on whether product identifiers are required is defined by the marketplace. Omnivore imports product identifiers from the eCommerce store. If the data is not required, we do have functions to not send it. For Marketplacer, this setting is on Settings - Barbeques Galore - General - Product Identifiers.
