Selling on Bol
Bol is the biggest online marketplace in the Netherlands and Belgium. Adding your brand on Bol will help you reach out to a large number of loyal customers in those countries.
To start selling on Bol, connect your Ecwid online store to Bol with the Koongo app from the Ecwid App Market. The connection process includes creating the Offer, Content, and Remove feeds. After you connect your online store to Bol, your online catalog appears on the marketplace, and shoppers can order your goods directly from Bol.
The app is $24+ per month with a free month trial. The Koongo subscription is paid separately from the Ecwid subscription.

Processing orders from Bol
When someone buys your product on Bol, a new order will appear in the My sales → Orders section in your Ecwid admin. You will get notification about a new order with an email or a push notification in the Ecwid mobile app for iOS or Android.
Orders are sync between your Ecwid and Bol accounts. That means, when you change the status of an order in your Ecwid admin and/or add a tracking number, this information is sent to Bol. And vice versa. As a result, you can manage the order processing both from Ecwid or Bol admin.
You need to fulfill orders and ship them with the help of Bol or by yourself.
