Don't know how to get more sales? We've got something that will make you say "Eureka!". Read on to learn how to sell products on Heureka and transform deal-hunting shoppers into your loyal customers.

What is Heureka?

What is Heureka
Heureka Group is one of the largest trading platform groups in Central and Eastern Europe. It operates in 9 countries across these regions and helps over 55,000 online stores connect with local customers.

Heureka Group owns nine popular price comparison sites, including Hungarian Arukereso, Romanian Compari, Bulgarian Pazaruvaj, and Slovenian Ceneje.

Heureka Group's main online shopping portal is simply known as Heureka. It has two versions – Heureka.cz and Heureka.sk, which work in the Czech Republic and Slovakia respectively. Heureka combines the features of a price comparison platform and a marketplace, allowing shoppers to compare goods and purchase them directly on the portal.

How does Heureka work?

How Heureka works
Heureka has two pricing modes: Free and PPC. The Free mode is a default one for all newcomers who join the platform. In this case, you can sell products on Heureka for free.

When visitors want to buy from you, they simply click the "To the store" button, and you don't pay anything for this. However, your reach is quite small. That's because shoppers will see your offers only when using the full-text search, most often at the bottom of the results.

If you upgrade to the PPC mode, Heureka will create separate pages for your items. Now, users can do much more on the platform than just go to your e-store: they can view the details of your product, read its reviews, monitor its price, and save it to favorites. Heureka will also include your goods in its categorized catalog, making it easier for shoppers to find them and compare with similar ones.

Heureka PPC mode

The name "PPC" stands for price-per-click and explains the main point of this mode. Unlike in the Free mode, you now need to pay for every time someone comes to you via the "To the store" button. But in exchange, Heureka will show your goods higher in listings. What's more, you can lift them above competitors on product pages, even if their offers are cheaper.

Heureka uses an auction system to decide the order of displayed offers. The platform has base rates per click that depend on your product's price, its category, and the amount of competition. But you can pay more to get better positions.

How to start selling on Heureka

If you want to sell products on Heureka.cz, your store must be translated into Czech and feature prices in the Czech crowns. If you aim for the Slovak version, then your store must have a Slovak translation and prices in euros.

Install the Mulwi feed app to create a Heureka feed

Product feeds are the only way how you can get products on Heureka. Surely, you can first sign up on the platform, set up everything else there, and only after that connect the feed, but we don't recommend doing that. If you prepare a feed beforehand and upload it right during registration, you will start selling products on Heureka much sooner.

However, creating a feed from scratch isn't as easy as it sounds. You'll have to study lengthy requirements, think about round-the-clock availability via HTTPS, watch out for errors and inconsistencies sneaking into the feed… Sounds daunting? Then simply use our product feed software and forget about all these troubles.

With Mulwi, you'll have a ready-to-go feed in just a few clicks. You only need to match the information from your store to the attributes in our Heureka Shopify feed template. Mulwi will do the rest of the job, including hosting. As a result, you'll receive a file link that you should simply give Heureka later.

Ready for hassle-free feed management with Mulwi? Then head over to the Shopify app store to get it.

Set up the Shopify Heureka product feed

Heureka has slightly different requirements for the Czech feed and the Slovak feed. But if you create a feed with Mulwi, you can easily make a perfect file for both regional platforms thanks to the translation feature and support for Shopify Markets.

Great, you've got a feed and its URL. If you're going for the Czech and Slovak Heurekas at the same time, then you should have two separate feeds, each with its own URL. Now you're all set to sell with Heureka.

Register your e-shop on Heureka

Joining Heureka is as easy as filling out a few forms. You'll first have to create a user account on any of the regional Heurekas. You can then use this one account to log in to both sites.

Next, you'll register your e-store. This process is just as simple: you give Heureka some basic business info and the feed URL that you received earlier. However, if you want to sell products both on Heureka.cz and Heureka.sk, then you must set up stores on each platform separately.

Heureka's team manually reviews all applications for the new stores. If there are no problems, you'll get approval within two business days.

What is Shopify feed for Heureka and how to create one?

Shopify feed for Heureka
A Shopify product feed is just a compact text file that tells what goods your store has. Merchants use these to list products on Heureka and many other sales channels. But not any file will do as a feed: each platform has its own set of rules that determine how it should look. Heureka is no exception.

Mulwi knows what Heureka desires and will help you make a feed it'll love. Our Heureka template already includes all the necessary info and can become a sales-attracting feed in just a few clicks. You can also customize this default template and sprinkle in some of your brand's charm. And with Mulwi's vast features, such as translation, category mapping, and Shopify Markets support, you'll easily get two equally great feeds for both Czech and Slovak sites.

Best practices for selling on Heureka
We know very well that you want to sell successfully on Heureka. That's why we're happy to share some of our best tips for doing so:
  • Include only in-stock products in the feed. Heureka doesn't show unavailable products anyway, and a feed file with just the necessary data is processed faster.
  • Check out the Optimization Score tool. With it, you'll see how efficiently you use Heureka's services and what else you can do to get the most out of the platform.
  • Befriend with the Assortment report. It will help you find out the rankings and popularity of your offers, as well as compare their prices to those on the market.
