INTEGRATION ARCHITECTURE

Reference Architecture: Where 24.online Sits in Your PIM/PXM Stack for Event-Driven Marketplace Integration

Understanding how a new tool fits into your existing infrastructure is the first question any integration architect asks. The diagram below illustrates 24.online's position as an orchestration layer between your product information management systems and marketplace APIs. Rather than replacing your PIM/PXM or duplicating its responsibilities, 24.online reads from your canonical data model, applies AI-driven optimization, and writes marketplace-ready content through official seller APIs—while keeping your PIM as the single source of truth for core product data.

Reads

Catalog data from PIM, assets from DAM, inventory signals from ERP, live listing content and sales metrics from marketplaces, competitor intelligence, review sentiment.

Writes

Optimized titles, bullets, descriptions, keywords, images, A+ content, pricing recommendations, advertising adjustments—applied to marketplaces via official seller APIs or staged for approval.

Reads

Current listing content, sales velocity, conversion metrics, search rank, reviews, ratings, ad campaign performance, inventory status, competitor pricing.

Writes

Updated listing content (text, images, video, A+), price changes, ad bid adjustments, keyword targeting—through Amazon SP-API, Walmart Marketplace API, Shopify Admin API, eBay APIs, Etsy Open API, and others as configured.

Select a scenario to see how data flows shift based on your operational model:

PIM as Source of Truth

Your PIM/PXM owns all product attributes, taxonomy, and base content. 24.online pulls this foundation, generates marketplace-optimized variants (titles, bullets, images, A+ content), and pushes changes to Amazon, Walmart, Shopify, and other channels. Edits made by 24.online are logged and can be synced back to your PIM for audit purposes, but your PIM remains authoritative for structure and core data.

Marketplace-Led Ops

For teams that manage listings directly on marketplaces and use PIM primarily for catalog structure, 24.online reads live listing data from seller APIs, runs optimization and analytics, and applies improvements without requiring a round-trip to your PIM. This model suits sellers with lighter PIM investments or rapid test-and-learn cycles on specific channels.

Hybrid

Most enterprise teams operate somewhere in between. Core attributes and brand guidelines live in your PIM; marketplace-specific experiments, dynamic pricing, and AI-generated enrichments are managed in 24.online. Bidirectional sync keeps both systems aligned, with configurable rules that determine which system wins when data conflicts arise.

Reliable Data Sync: Webhooks Plus Fallback Polling

24.online uses webhook events as the primary mechanism for near-real-time sync—new reviews, listing suppressions, price changes from competitors, and inventory alerts trigger immediate action without waiting for batch jobs. However, event-driven architectures introduce legitimate concerns about delivery guarantees and failure modes. That's why 24.online maintains a scheduled fallback polling layer: if a webhook fails or a marketplace doesn't support certain event types, the system automatically reconciles state on a configurable interval. This hybrid approach gives you the speed of event-driven integration without the fragility of relying solely on webhooks. Detailed delivery semantics, retry policies, and deduplication logic are covered in the Webhook Delivery Semantics section below.

Governance

DATA OWNERSHIP & CONFLICT RESOLUTION

In a bidirectional sync architecture, defining clear data governance boundaries is essential. Below is the authoritative ownership map and conflict resolution policy used by 24.online in a typical PIM-integrated deployment.

PIM/PXM — System of Record
Owns product structure, SKU hierarchy, core attributes, taxonomy, brand guidelines, and localization. In any conflict, PIM data wins for these domains unless explicitly overridden in your configuration.
24.online — Marketplace-Specific Enrichment
Owns marketplace-optimized content: AI-generated titles, bullet points, descriptions, keywords, A+ content, image variants, and pricing recommendations. These are channel-specific artifacts, not core catalog data.
Conflict Resolution Rules
When both systems hold a version of the same field, configurable merge policies determine the winner: last-write-wins, PIM-always-wins, or manual-approval-required. Every conflict is logged with full diff history.
Change Management Controls
All changes flow through an approval pipeline with three modes: Manual (human approval required), Semi-Auto (auto-apply within guardrails, flag exceptions), and Full-Auto (apply all changes within configured safety limits). Every action is versioned and auditable.

Integration Options: API, Feeds, and iPaaS-Ready Connectors

Modern PIM integration demands flexibility. Some teams need real-time sync for inventory and pricing. Others run nightly batch jobs to push enriched content to marketplaces. Many rely on iPaaS platforms to orchestrate data flows across dozens of systems without custom code. 24.online supports all three paths—so you can connect the way your stack already works, not the way we dictate.

Real-Time API Integration

Push and pull product data on demand through REST or GraphQL endpoints. Ideal for live inventory updates, instant content syndication, and event-driven architectures where latency matters. Inputs accept JSON payloads conforming to our canonical schema; outputs return normalized product objects with marketplace-specific validation flags.

Typical owner: IT / Platform Engineering

Batch Feeds and Data Templates

Export or import product catalogs via structured files—CSV, XML, JSON Lines, or marketplace-native formats. Use scheduled jobs for overnight enrichment cycles, bulk catalog migrations, or periodic feed refreshes to channels that don't support real-time sync. Pre-built data feed templates accelerate onboarding and reduce mapping errors for common marketplace connector scenarios.

Typical owner: eCommerce Ops / Data Team

iPaaS and Workflow Automation

Native webhook triggers and a documented API surface make 24.online compatible with leading iPaaS platforms—Workato, Celigo, Boomi, MuleSoft, and similar integration middleware. Build multi-step workflow automation without writing glue code: listen for content-approval events, route enriched listings to the right marketplace connector, and log every action back to your PIM. The market expects a developer hub with clear extension points; we deliver exactly that.

DEVELOPER PLATFORM

Canonical Data Model & Product Data Schemas

A unified product data schema designed for multi-marketplace commerce—with full support for delta updates, event payloads, and seamless attribute mapping.

24.online operates on a canonical data model purpose-built for multi-marketplace e-commerce. Rather than forcing your PIM to conform to the quirks of each retail channel, you maintain a single, normalized representation of products, variants, assets, and listings. Marketplace-specific requirements—whether Amazon's catalog structure, Walmart Item Spec 5.0, or Shopify's metafields—are handled as outbound transformations from this canonical layer. The result: cleaner integrations, fewer mapping errors, and a single source of truth your entire stack can rely on.

Core Entities & Relationships

The root object representing a sellable item. Contains shared attributes such as brand, manufacturer, base description, and category assignments. One Product can have many Variants.
Represents a specific SKU—size, color, configuration, or bundle. Inherits from Product but carries its own pricing, inventory, identifiers (UPC, EAN, GTIN), and variant-specific attributes.
A marketplace-specific representation of a Variant. Each Listing maps to exactly one Variant but includes channel-specific fields: marketplace category path, required attributes, fulfillment method, and listing status.
Media files (images, videos, documents, A+ modules) linked to Products, Variants, or Listings. Assets carry metadata such as type, locale, resolution, alt text, and DAM reference.
The seller or vendor account on a given channel. Listings belong to a Marketplace Account, enabling multi-account and multi-region architectures within a single workspace.

Product → (1:N) → Variant → (1:N) → Listing → (N:1) → Marketplace Account. Product / Variant / Listing → (N:M) → Asset.

Explore the Schema

Use the schema browser to search fields, inspect data types, and validate payloads before you write a single line of integration code. Switch contexts instantly—Product, Variant, Listing, Asset, or Marketplace Account—to see exactly which attributes are required, optional, or derived.

Standards-Based, Interoperable Schemas

All canonical entities are defined as JSON Schema documents, giving you machine-readable contracts for validation, code generation, and automated testing. Schemas follow JSON Schema Draft 2020-12 and are published in our developer portal alongside human-readable documentation. Whether you generate TypeScript interfaces, validate incoming webhooks, or build custom ETL pipelines, the schema is your single point of reference.

Version control

v3.2.0 STABLE

Released

Breaking Change Warning

v2.x schemas will be deprecated on March 31, 2025. Migrate to v3.x by updating your event consumer endpoints and adjusting attribute keys per the migration notes below.

Deprecation & Compatibility Policy

  • Major versions are supported for a minimum of 12 months after the successor release. You will always have at least 6 months advance notice before any version reaches end-of-life.
  • Minor and patch versions are backward-compatible. New fields are always additive; existing fields are never removed or renamed within a major version.
  • Schema changes are published to a dedicated changelog feed (RSS and webhook) at least 30 days before enforcement. Migration notes include field-level diffs, code examples, and SDK update guides.
  • Marketplace-specific mappings are versioned independently from the canonical schema. When a marketplace updates its taxonomy (e.g., Walmart Item Spec 5.0), the mapping version increments while your canonical data stays stable.
  • Every mapping version includes a compatibility matrix showing which canonical schema versions it supports, plus automated validation tests you can run before deploying.

Recent Changes

Added fulfillment_method enum to Listing entity. New asset.replaced event type. Walmart Item Spec 5.0 mapping v2.1 released with 14 new required attributes.
Introduced variant_attributes flexible object on Variant. Amazon mapping updated for Browse Tree Guide 2024-Q4. Added sync.failed event with error classification codes.
Major version bump: restructured category_path from string to array. Asset events decoupled from product events. New Marketplace Account entity added. Migration guide published.

Event-Driven Architecture for Real-Time Sync

Modern PIM workflows generate frequent, granular changes: a product title edited, a variant price updated, a new lifestyle image uploaded. 24.online product data schemas are designed from the ground up for event payloads that capture these delta updates without losing context. Each event carries the entity type, record identifiers, changed fields, previous and new values, and a correlation ID linking it to the originating action—so downstream systems can apply incremental updates rather than re-ingesting entire catalogs.

Asset events are decoupled from product and variant events, matching how creative and catalog teams actually work. When a photographer uploads a new hero image, the asset event fires independently; when a merchandiser updates the product description, that change propagates without waiting on media approval. This separation keeps your pipelines fast, your queues lean, and your integration logic straightforward.

}

Attribute Mapping from Canonical to Channel

The canonical data model intentionally abstracts away marketplace idiosyncrasies. When data flows outbound, transformation rules map canonical attributes to each channel's required and recommended fields. Mappings are versioned alongside schemas, so when a marketplace updates its taxonomy or adds mandatory attributes—like Walmart Item Spec 5.0—you update the mapping layer, not your upstream PIM. This keeps your core product data stable while giving you the flexibility to meet evolving retailer requirements across Amazon, Walmart, Shopify, eBay, Etsy, and beyond.

Pre-Submission Validator

Catch mapping and validation errors before they reach the marketplace. The validator checks attribute coverage against the target channel's spec, flags missing required fields, and provides direct links to fix each issue.

item_weight error

Required attribute missing. Walmart Item Spec 5.0 mandates item_weight for category 'Electronics > Audio'.

main_image error

Image resolution below minimum. Amazon requires at least 1000x1000px for the main product image.

bullet_points warning

Only 3 of 5 bullet points populated. Filling all 5 improves search visibility on Amazon.

brand pass

Attribute mapped and validated. Value: 'TechFlow Audio'.

Tabs for Auth, Webhooks, and Schemas provide quick navigation to authentication flows, event subscriptions, and canonical data models. All endpoint documentation is rendered as indexable HTML with defined anchor IDs, so your team can link directly to specific operations in tickets, design docs, or Slack threads.

Security

Authentication & Authorization:OAuth 2.0, Tokens & RBAC

24.online implements token-based authentication across two layers: marketplace connectivity and platform access. No seller passwords are stored—ever. Marketplace accounts connect via official OAuth 2.0 flows, while access to the 24.online API and dashboard is governed by role-based access control with granular permission scopes.

Marketplace OAuth Integration

Connecting a seller account follows the OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow native to each marketplace. Amazon integrates via Login with Amazon for SP-API credentials; Walmart and eBay use their respective OAuth 2.0 implementations. 24.online stores only the resulting access and refresh tokens, never raw credentials. Token refresh is handled automatically, and revocation is immediate when a seller disconnects.

This approach aligns with ecosystem standards and ensures your security and compliance teams face no surprises during vendor review. Each marketplace connection requests only the scopes required for the features you enable—no over-permissioning, no hidden access.

Platform Access: Scopes & RBAC

API credentials and user accounts are governed by role-based access control. Predefined roles (Admin, Editor, Analyst, Viewer) map to permission sets covering catalog write, listing publish, analytics read, agent task execution, and settings management. Custom roles can combine permissions to match your organizational structure.

Each permission scope is documented with a plain-language description of what it grants and example API calls that require it. The principle of least privilege is enforced: tokens are issued with only the scopes explicitly requested and approved. Audit logs capture every scope grant and revocation for compliance review.

Auth Flow Diagram & Scope Reference

A visual authentication flow diagram illustrates the complete sequence—from initial authorization redirect through token issuance and refresh—for both marketplace OAuth and platform API access. The diagram is provided as an SVG with an accompanying text description of each step, ensuring accessibility and enabling inline documentation in your architecture diagrams.

1
Authorize Seller initiates OAuth redirect to marketplace
2
Grant Marketplace prompts seller to approve scopes
3
Callback Authorization code returned to 24.online
4
Token Code exchanged for access & refresh tokens
5
Refresh Tokens auto-refreshed before expiry

The scope reference table lists every available permission, its effect, and the roles that include it by default. Filtering by keyword or category helps security teams quickly audit what a given credential can access.

Enterprise Scale

Bulk Operations, Async Jobs & Idempotency

Enterprise catalogs demand bulk API operations that scale to tens of thousands of SKUs without blocking or data corruption. 24.online processes large-scale changes through async jobs with built-in idempotency, safe retries, and transparent rate limiting—so your integration survives network failures, downstream throttling, and partial errors without duplicating work or losing state.

Async Job Model

Any operation affecting multiple records—bulk content updates, mass image regeneration, catalog-wide optimization runs—executes as an asynchronous job. When you submit a bulk request, the API immediately returns a job ID and status endpoint. Your integration can poll for progress or subscribe to webhook events for completion, failure, or partial-success notifications.

Each job tracks per-item status: succeeded, failed, or skipped with reason. Partial failures do not roll back successful items; instead, the job report provides a downloadable manifest of what succeeded and what needs retry. This model prevents all-or-nothing brittleness and gives your ops team clear remediation paths.

Idempotency & Safe Retries

Every mutating endpoint accepts an Idempotency-Key header. When a request is retried with the same key, the API returns the original response without re-executing the operation. Keys are valid for 24 hours, covering typical retry windows for network instability or client crashes.

This design means your integration can implement aggressive retry logic—exponential backoff, circuit breakers, queue-based replay—without risking duplicate listings, double content pushes, or inconsistent state. Combined with per-item job tracking, idempotency guarantees that recovery from any failure is deterministic and auditable.

Rate Limiting & Backpressure

Rate limits protect both your account and downstream marketplace APIs. When limits are approached, response headers signal remaining quota and reset timing. When limits are exceeded, the API returns a 429 status with a Retry-After value calibrated to actual recovery time—not a generic guess.

For sustained high-volume workloads, the job queue automatically manages backpressure against marketplace rate limits. Jobs are throttled at the platform layer so your integration never needs to implement per-marketplace pacing logic. Throughput scales with your plan tier; enterprise accounts receive dedicated capacity and priority queue access.

Job Monitor & Observability

The Job Monitor interface provides real-time visibility into every running and completed job. Each job appears as a card with status, progress percentage, start and end timestamps, item counts, and a link to detailed logs. Filters let you narrow by job type, date range, status, or affected marketplace.

Job run pages have stable, permanent URLs—ideal for linking in incident reports, Slack threads, or Jira tickets. Logs include request payloads, per-item outcomes, downstream API responses, and retry history. For compliance and debugging, all job data is retained according to your configured retention policy and exportable in JSON or CSV.

What Events We Emit and Why

Every change to a managed entity—product created, listing updated, price changed, inventory adjusted, review received, job completed—generates an event. The source of each event is clearly identified: changes originating from your PIM flow through as inbound events; changes triggered by marketplace responses or 24.online automation appear as outbound events. This distinction matters when you're debugging sync issues or building audit trails.

Our event model follows established patterns in the PIM and e-commerce integration space: create, update, and delete events for products and listings, status-change events for async jobs, and threshold-based alerts for inventory and pricing. Each event includes a stable event type identifier, a versioned schema, and a payload containing the affected entity's current state plus a delta where applicable.

Webhook Best Practices

Treat webhooks as an accelerator, not a guarantee. Even major marketplace platforms warn that network failures, rate limits, and transient outages can delay or drop webhook deliveries. Design your integration to handle gaps: use our reconciliation API to periodically verify state, implement idempotent handlers, and never assume a missed webhook means nothing changed. This resilience-first approach is standard guidance across enterprise event-driven architectures.

Delivery Guarantees and Sync Strategy

24.online webhooks operate on an at-least-once delivery model. We guarantee that every event will be delivered at least once, but your endpoint may receive duplicates during retries or recovery scenarios. Your integration must be idempotent by design—processing the same event twice should produce the same result as processing it once.

When your endpoint returns a non-2xx response or times out, we initiate automatic retries with exponential backoff. The retry sequence spans several hours, giving transient issues time to resolve before we mark a delivery as failed. Every delivery attempt is logged and visible in the delivery log UI, so you can trace exactly when and why a webhook succeeded or failed.

Each event includes a deduplication key—a unique identifier combining the event type, entity ID, and timestamp. Use this key to detect and discard duplicates in your processing pipeline. The recommended pattern: acknowledge the webhook immediately (ack fast), persist the event to a local queue, then process asynchronously. This approach prevents timeout failures and isolates your business logic from delivery mechanics.

Delays and Drift Are Normal

Webhooks can arrive out of order or with latency spikes during high-volume periods. This isn't a bug—it's an inherent characteristic of distributed event delivery. Build your handlers to compare timestamps, detect stale updates, and reconcile periodically. We expose event timestamps and sequence markers to help you identify drift and trigger corrective sync when needed.

Webhook Delivery Semantics: Retries, Backoff, and Deduplication

At-Least-Once Delivery

We confirm delivery when your endpoint returns HTTP 2xx within the timeout window. Any other response—or no response—triggers our retry logic. Expect retries with exponential backoff: initial retry within seconds, subsequent attempts spaced progressively further apart, up to a maximum retry window measured in hours. After all retries exhaust, the event is marked failed and visible in your delivery log for manual replay.

Delivery Statuses

Delivered

Your endpoint returned 2xx. Event processed successfully.

Retrying

Delivery failed; automatic retry scheduled. Check delivery log for attempt history.

Failed

All retry attempts exhausted. Manual intervention required. Use the replay function to re-send.

Replayed

Event was manually re-sent from the delivery log or via API.

Idempotency by Design

Every event payload includes an idempotency key. Store processed keys and check incoming events against your record before executing business logic. If the key exists, acknowledge the webhook and skip processing. This simple pattern eliminates duplicate side effects regardless of how many times the same event arrives.

Ack Fast, Process Async

Return HTTP 200 as soon as you've persisted the event to your internal queue. Perform validation, transformation, and downstream updates asynchronously. This separation prevents webhook timeouts from cascading into delivery failures and keeps your retry rate low even during traffic spikes.

Webhook Security: Signatures, Replay Protection, and Access Controls

Securing your webhook endpoints is a shared responsibility. 24.online provides cryptographic signatures, replay protection mechanisms, secret rotation, and network-level controls. Your implementation must validate these controls and handle edge cases—delayed deliveries, duplicates, and transient failures—without compromising security or reliability.

Every webhook request includes an HMAC-SHA256 signature in the header, computed using your endpoint's signing secret. Before processing any payload, compute the expected signature from the raw request body and compare it to the header value using a constant-time comparison function. Reject any request where signatures don't match. Never log or expose your signing secret; store it in a secrets manager with access controls.

Each webhook includes a timestamp indicating when the event was generated. Reject requests where the timestamp is older than your acceptable window (typically five minutes). This prevents attackers from capturing a valid signed request and replaying it later. Combine timestamp validation with signature verification for defense in depth.

Rotate your signing secret periodically or immediately if you suspect compromise. During rotation, 24.online supports a grace period where both old and new secrets are valid, ensuring zero delivery failures during the transition. Initiate rotation from the webhook settings panel; the UI displays both active secrets until you confirm the switchover.

For environments requiring network-level controls, configure your firewall or load balancer to accept webhook traffic only from 24.online's published IP ranges. We maintain a stable, documented set of egress IPs specifically for webhook delivery. Allowlisting adds a layer of protection but should complement—not replace—signature verification.

All webhook deliveries occur over HTTPS with TLS 1.2 or higher. We validate your endpoint's certificate chain before transmitting any payload. Self-signed certificates are not supported. Ensure your endpoint's certificate is issued by a trusted CA and remains valid; expired or misconfigured certificates will cause delivery failures.

Validate First, Queue Second, Process Third

When a webhook arrives, immediately validate the signature and timestamp. If validation passes, persist the event to your internal queue and return HTTP 200. Process the event asynchronously from the queue. This sequence ensures that security checks never block on downstream processing, and transient processing failures don't trigger unnecessary retries. Security and reliability work together when you separate validation from execution.

Role-Based Access Control and Policy-Based Permissions

24.online enforces granular RBAC across all platform functions. Define roles that match your organizational structure—separating marketplace managers, content editors, pricing analysts, and read-only stakeholders. Each role carries explicit permission sets governing catalog access, listing edits, sync operations, and automation controls.

Policy-based permissions extend beyond static roles. Configure conditional access rules based on marketplace scope, brand ownership, geographic region, or SKU category. Restrict autopilot execution to specific user groups or require multi-party approval for production pushes.

IdP Attribute-to-Role Mapping

Transform identity provider claims into platform roles automatically. No manual role assignment after initial configuration.

IdP Attribute

Configure claim mappings during SSO setup. 24.online reads group memberships, department attributes, or custom claims from your IdP assertion and assigns corresponding platform roles at each login. Role changes in your IdP propagate automatically—no separate user management required within 24.online.

Common mapped attributes:
Group membershipDepartmentCustom role claimsEmail domainCost center

SCIM Provisioning

Coming Q3 2025

Automated user provisioning and deprovisioning via SCIM 2.0 is on our roadmap. Once available, you'll be able to sync user lifecycle events directly from your identity provider—automatically creating accounts when employees join, updating attributes as roles change, and deactivating access upon offboarding. Current SSO implementation handles authentication and role mapping; manual user provisioning is required until SCIM support ships.

Access Audit and Session Visibility

Every authentication event, role assignment, and permission check is logged with full context. Audit records capture user identity, source IP, IdP session ID, timestamp, and resulting access decision. Export logs to your SIEM or compliance tooling via API. Session management controls let administrators view active sessions, enforce re-authentication, and revoke access instantly across all connected marketplaces.

Audit logs retained for 12 months by default. Extended retention available on Enterprise plans.

SSO Configuration Workflow

1

Register 24.online in Your IdP

Add 24.online as a new application in your identity provider. Download our SP metadata or manually configure using the ACS URL, Entity ID, and certificate provided in your 24.online admin console under Settings → Security → SSO.

2

Upload IdP Metadata

Paste your IdP metadata URL or upload the XML file. 24.online automatically extracts signing certificates, SSO endpoints, and issuer information. For OIDC, provide your discovery URL or manually enter client credentials and endpoints.

3

Configure Attribute Mapping

Map IdP attributes to 24.online user fields and roles. Specify which claim contains group membership, define the mapping rules between IdP groups and platform roles, and set a default role for users without matching group claims.

4

Test in Sandbox

Validate your SSO configuration in sandbox environment before enabling for production. The test flow shows exactly which attributes were received, how they mapped to roles, and what permissions the test user would receive.

5

Enable and Enforce

Activate SSO for your organization. Optionally enforce SSO-only authentication to prevent password-based logins. Existing users are linked automatically by email address on first SSO login.

Configuration Notes

  • 1

    SSO enforcement is organization-wide. You cannot require SSO for some users while allowing password login for others within the same organization.

  • 2

    Role mapping evaluates at login time. If you update group memberships in your IdP, changes take effect on the user's next authentication.

  • 3

    Service accounts for API access use token-based authentication and are not subject to SSO policies. Manage API credentials separately under Settings → API Keys.

  • 4

    SP-initiated login is supported. IdP-initiated login requires SAML; OIDC connections must use SP-initiated flow.

Okta Groups to Roles

30 days production / 90 days backups
DSR Response
Within 72 hours

24.online processes product catalog data (titles, descriptions, attributes, images, and SKU identifiers), marketplace account tokens, and aggregated performance metrics (sales volume, conversion rates, listing scores). We do not process end-consumer personal data, payment information, or customer PII from your marketplace transactions. Your shoppers' names, addresses, and order details remain on the marketplace platform—never transmitted to or stored within 24.online systems.

Personal data within 24.online is limited to your team's user accounts: email addresses, names, and access roles required for authentication and authorization. No consumer-facing PII crosses into our processing environment. This clear boundary simplifies your data protection impact assessments and keeps 24.online outside the scope of direct consumer data obligations.

The 24.online Data Processing Agreement, structured per GDPR Article 28, establishes our obligations as your processor: lawful processing instructions, confidentiality commitments, security measures, sub-processor disclosure, audit cooperation, and data return or deletion upon contract termination. The DPA is available as a standalone document in our Legal Center—ready for your legal team's review and countersignature.

Catalog and performance data is retained for the duration of your active subscription plus 30 days for technical wind-down. Upon contract termination or explicit request, we delete all customer data from production systems within 30 days and from backups within 90 days. Detailed retention schedules are documented in our DPA Annex.

If you receive an access, rectification, or erasure request related to user accounts managed within 24.online, submit it through your account dashboard or contact our Data Protection team directly. We respond within 72 hours and execute verified deletion or export requests within 30 days—aligned with GDPR timelines and your internal compliance workflows.

ENTERPRISE SCALABILITY

Scalability for High-Volume Catalogs and Multi-Marketplace Throughput

Resilient, elastically scalable architecture designed to handle enterprise catalog sizes, peak traffic, and concurrent marketplace sync without degradation.

PIM/PXM platforms must deliver resilient and elastically scalable infrastructure as a baseline expectation—not an afterthought. 24.online is purpose-built for high-volume catalog operations across multiple marketplaces, with architectural patterns that maintain consistent throughput and full observability even under peak load conditions.

How the Scalable Pipeline Works

01 INGEST Bulk API & feed ingestion with schema normalization
02 QUEUE Distributed partitioned message queue for decoupling
03 WORKERS Auto-scaling parallel worker pools for transformation
04 CONNECTORS Rate-limited marketplace-specific push with retries

Every catalog update flows through a four-stage pipeline engineered for horizontal scaling. Ingest accepts bulk updates from your PIM via API or feed, normalizing payloads against your canonical schema. Normalized records enter a distributed message queue that decouples ingestion speed from downstream processing capacity. Parallel worker pools consume queued tasks, applying transformations, validation, and marketplace-specific mapping. Finally, dedicated marketplace connectors push changes to each channel, respecting per-API rate limits and retry semantics. This architecture ensures that a spike in one stage never cascades into bottlenecks elsewhere.

50,000 concurrent SKU updates absorbed

Queue-Based Decoupling and Parallel Workers

High-volume catalog sync demands more than a single processing thread. 24.online uses persistent, partitioned queues to buffer incoming changes and distribute work across auto-scaling worker pools. Each worker operates independently, processing batches in parallel without contention. When your catalog refresh triggers 50,000 SKU updates simultaneously, the queue absorbs the load while workers scale out to meet demand—then scale back down once throughput normalizes. This elasticity keeps costs predictable and latency low.

0% API lockouts or failed syncs

Rate Limit Management for Downstream APIs

Marketplace APIs enforce strict rate limits, and exceeding them triggers throttling, rejections, or temporary bans. 24.online's marketplace connectors implement adaptive rate limiting: each connector tracks its consumption against the target API's quota, automatically pacing requests to stay within bounds. When limits tighten during marketplace peak hours, the system queues outbound calls and drains them as capacity becomes available. You get maximum throughput without risking API lockouts or failed syncs.

<3s worker spin-up time under burst

Peak Handling and Burst Capacity

Promotional launches, seasonal catalog expansions, and flash sales create unpredictable traffic spikes. The platform absorbs bursts by expanding queue depth and spinning up additional workers within seconds. Backpressure mechanisms prevent overload by throttling ingestion when downstream capacity is saturated, ensuring graceful degradation rather than dropped updates. Once the peak subsides, resources contract automatically—no manual intervention required.

100% per-tenant observability isolation

Multi-Tenant Architecture Without Observability Trade-Offs

Enterprise deployments often involve multiple seller accounts, brands, or regional catalogs operating on a shared platform. 24.online's multi-tenant architecture isolates workloads at the queue and worker level, preventing one tenant's bulk operation from starving another's real-time updates. Critically, this isolation extends to observability: per-tenant metrics, logs, and tracing remain fully segmented, giving each team complete visibility into their own throughput, error rates, and sync latency without cross-tenant noise.

Capacity & Limits Estimator

Use the interactive load profile estimator to model your specific scenario. Input your catalog size, update frequency, and number of connected marketplaces. The estimator calculates expected queue depth, worker allocation, and per-channel sync cadence based on current platform capacity.

Estimated Load Profile
Queue Depth ~1,200 msgs
Worker Allocation 4 workers
Sync Cadence ~24 min/channel
Assessment
Standard Tier — Within baseline capacity

For catalogs exceeding 500,000 SKUs or requiring sub-minute sync intervals across five or more marketplaces, contact our architecture team for a dedicated throughput assessment and custom scaling configuration.

ENTERPRISE GOVERNANCE

CHANGE GOVERNANCE FOR AI-DRIVEN LISTING OPERATIONS

Approval workflows, audit logging, and policy-enforced guardrails that make autonomous optimization safe for enterprise PIM environments.

24.online operates as an AI agent, not a black box. Every proposed change—whether to a product title, image, or pricing attribute—follows a structured change management lifecycle that integrates with your existing governance requirements. Your team retains full control over what the agent can modify autonomously and what requires human approval, with complete auditability at every stage.

CONTROLLED CHANGE LIFECYCLE

01

Proposal

The AI agent analyzes listing performance data, marketplace requirements, and competitive signals, then generates specific recommendations. Each proposal includes the affected SKUs, proposed attribute changes, supporting rationale, and projected impact. Proposals queue for review based on your configured routing rules—by category, marketplace, brand, or change type.

02

Review

Reviewers see full before-and-after diffs for every proposed modification. They can approve, reject, or edit changes individually or in bulk. For teams requiring multi-level sign-off, 24.online supports sequential approval chains with configurable escalation paths and SLA-based reminders.

03

Apply

Approved changes sync to connected marketplaces through the platform's API integration layer. The system enforces idempotency to prevent duplicate operations and confirms successful application before updating internal records. If a marketplace rejects the change, the agent logs the rejection reason and surfaces it for resolution.

04

Monitor

Post-deployment, 24.online tracks performance metrics tied to each change: conversion rate shifts, search ranking movement, and engagement signals. If a change underperforms against defined thresholds, the system can flag the issue or trigger an automatic rollback based on your policy configuration.

POLICY-ENFORCED AUTONOMOUS OPERATIONS

Autopilot mode accelerates optimization by letting the AI agent execute routine changes without waiting for manual approval. But autonomy operates strictly within boundaries you define. Every guardrail is explicit, auditable, and modifiable at any time.

Attribute-Level Restrictions

Permit autonomous updates to bullet points and keywords while requiring approval for title changes. Lock pricing attributes entirely from AI modification unless a human initiates the workflow.

Impact Thresholds

Allow the agent to apply changes projected to improve listing score by up to 10% without review. Changes exceeding that threshold route automatically to the approval queue.

Marketplace & Category Scope

Enable autopilot for low-risk categories on Amazon US while requiring full review for regulated product categories or newly launched Walmart listings.

Time-Based Controls

Suspend all autonomous changes during peak promotional periods (Prime Day, holiday sales) and require manual approval until the blackout window closes.

Guardrails are not static. Your team can adjust policy constraints as confidence in the AI grows or as business requirements shift—without engineering involvement.

COMPLETE AUDIT TRAIL FOR EVERY CHANGE

Every action in 24.online—whether initiated by the AI agent, an API call, or a human user—generates an immutable audit record. Logs are queryable, exportable, and designed to support both internal compliance reviews and external audits.

Rollback Available Yes — valid through July 9, 2025

ONE-CLICK ROLLBACK WITH FULL CONTEXT

Any change applied through 24.online can be reversed. The rollback function restores the previous attribute state and pushes the reversion to the connected marketplace. The system retains rollback capability for a configurable retention period (default: 30 days) and logs the rollback action as a separate auditable event, preserving the complete change history.

GOVERNANCE THAT FITS YOUR STACK

24.online's approval workflows integrate with enterprise identity providers through SSO and respect RBAC permissions inherited from your PIM or IAM system. Audit logs export via API or scheduled feeds to your SIEM, GRC platform, or data warehouse. For organizations with established change advisory board processes, the platform supports webhook triggers to notify external ticketing or workflow systems when high-impact changes enter the queue.

Autonomous AI optimization does not mean uncontrolled AI optimization. 24.online gives your team the velocity of automation with the auditability, approval workflows, and policy guardrails that enterprise PIM governance requires.

PIM/PXM INTEGRATION FAQ

Answers to the questions architects actually ask during pre-sale — direct, concise, with links to full documentation.

Can my PIM be the source of truth when integrating with 24.online?

Yes. 24.online is designed to operate as a downstream consumer of your PIM data. You define which system wins per attribute or entity, and our conflict-resolution rules enforce that hierarchy across all connected marketplaces.

How does 24.online handle data conflicts between PIM and marketplaces?

We apply configurable precedence rules at the attribute level. You can set your PIM as authoritative for titles and descriptions while letting marketplace-specific fields (like Walmart Item Spec attributes) override locally. Conflict logs are surfaced in the audit trail.

How do webhooks retry if my endpoint is down?

Webhooks retry with exponential backoff — initial retry after 30 seconds, then 1, 5, 15, and 60 minutes, up to 24 hours total. Each delivery includes an idempotency key so you can safely deduplicate.

What happens if a webhook is delayed or lost?

If retries exhaust, the event moves to a dead-letter queue visible in your dashboard. You can replay failed events manually or poll the Events API to reconcile state. We guarantee at-least-once delivery, not exactly-once.

How do you secure webhook payloads?

Every webhook includes an HMAC-SHA256 signature in the header, computed with your secret key. We also support replay protection via timestamp validation and optional IP allowlisting.

Do you support SAML SSO for enterprise teams?

Yes. We support SAML 2.0 and OIDC for single sign-on, with automatic user provisioning via SCIM. You can map IdP groups to 24.online roles for centralized access control.

How does RBAC work for PIM/PXM teams with multiple brands?

Role-based access control lets you scope permissions by marketplace, brand, or catalog segment. You can create custom roles that restrict users to read-only analytics, content editing, or full autopilot control.

Is there a DPA for GDPR compliance?

Yes. We provide a pre-signed Data Processing Addendum that covers GDPR, UK GDPR, and standard contractual clauses. We process only the product and seller data you send — no end-consumer PII is stored unless you explicitly include it.

Where are OAuth tokens and API keys stored?

Tokens are encrypted at rest using AES-256 and stored in isolated, SOC 2-audited infrastructure. We never store marketplace seller passwords — only the access tokens you authorize via OAuth.

What is the SLA for API uptime?

We offer a 99.9% monthly uptime SLA on our core API and webhook delivery infrastructure. Scheduled maintenance windows are announced 72 hours in advance and excluded from SLA calculations.

How do I get support when an integration breaks?

Enterprise plans include a dedicated Slack channel with 1-hour response during business hours. All plans have access to our status page, incident postmortems, and a technical support queue with guaranteed 24-hour response.

How many SKUs can 24.online handle for large PIM catalogs?

Our architecture supports catalogs exceeding 10 million SKUs with sustained sync throughput of 50,000 updates per hour per marketplace. Dedicated infrastructure tiers are available for higher volumes.

Do you support bulk operations for large catalog updates?

Yes. Our REST and GraphQL APIs accept bulk payloads up to 10,000 items per request. Bulk jobs run asynchronously with progress callbacks, and every operation is idempotent to prevent duplicate writes.

How does schema versioning work for API changes?

We version schemas using semantic versioning and maintain backward compatibility for at least 12 months after deprecation notice. Breaking changes are announced via email and changelog, with migration guides published before cutover.

What event formats do webhooks use, and are they versioned?

Webhooks deliver JSON payloads following CloudEvents 1.0 spec, with a version field in every envelope. When we release a new event schema, we run both versions in parallel during a migration window.

Is 24.online ready for Walmart Item Spec 5.0?

Yes. Our canonical schema maps natively to Walmart Item Spec 5.0, including required variant grouping, rich media attributes, and compliance flags. We validate payloads before submission to prevent listing rejections.
