How Shopee Marketplace Connector (APAC) works inside Odoo

Where the connector lives inside Sales

The Odoo Apps listing introduces the module with the heading Sell on Shopee from Odoo. In Odoo 19 and 20, everything it adds hangs off Sales › E-Commerce Marketplaces, and the menus are grouped like this:

• Sales › E-Commerce Marketplaces › Accounts.
• Sales › E-Commerce Marketplaces › Products, with three submenus: Product Mappings, Category Mappings and Attribute Mappings.
• Sales › E-Commerce Marketplaces › Orders, with four submenus: Sync Queue, Sync Logs, Sync Conflicts and Held Orders.
• Sales › E-Commerce Marketplaces › Analytics, with Dashboard and Performance Report.
• Sales › E-Commerce Marketplaces › Settings.

The scheduled tasks and how often they run

The module ships with five scheduled tasks and all five are listed as active. Here they are with their literal names and frequency:

How to read the table: each task's name tells you which part of the connector it relates to (products, inventory, orders, stale orders and a weekly reconciliation digest). The product and inventory tasks run most often; the orders task runs every 30 minutes; the stale orders check, every hour. The weekly one carries its day and time in its own name.

A walk through the menus, step by step

This is a reading order for getting to know the module from the inside in Odoo 19 and 20, following the menus as they appear. It is not a sequence the module enforces: it is simply a handy way to see what each screen holds.

1. Open Sales › E-Commerce Marketplaces › Accounts. Marketplace accounts are stored in the marketplace.config model, which the code describes as Marketplace Account Configuration. The demo list shows columns for marketplace, company, warehouse and OAuth tokens.
2. Go to Products › Product Mappings. This is the marketplace.product_mapping model, described as Product ↔ Marketplace Product ID Mapping. In the demo screenshot the row links an account, an Odoo variant, a product ID, a SKU and a status.
3. Move on to Products › Category Mappings. The model is marketplace.category_mapping, described as Odoo Category → Marketplace Category Mapping.
4. Carry on with Products › Attribute Mappings. The model is marketplace.attribute_mapping, described as Odoo Attribute → Marketplace Attribute Mapping. Its list shows the columns Marketplace Account, Odoo Attribute, Marketplace Attribute Key and Created.
5. Open Orders › Sync Queue. Behind it sits marketplace.sync_queue, described as Marketplace Sync Task Queue.
6. Check Orders › Sync Logs. The model is marketplace.sync_log, described as Marketplace Sync Audit Trail.
7. Look at Orders › Sync Conflicts. The model is marketplace.sync_conflict, described as Marketplace Sync Conflict.
8. Go into Orders › Held Orders. The model is marketplace.order.hold, described as Held marketplace order.
9. Move to Analytics: Dashboard and Performance Report. The code contains the models marketplace.dashboard.overview (Marketplace Dashboard Overview), marketplace.performance.report (Marketplace Performance Report) and marketplace.performance.report.line (Marketplace Performance Report Line).
10. Finally, open Settings, the last section of the menu.

What the screen names tell you

As you go through the menus you will see the module splits into three blocks. Products brings together the mappings: product, category and attribute, each in its own model. Orders brings together the queue (Sync Queue), the audit trail (Sync Logs), conflicts (Sync Conflicts) and held orders (Held Orders). Analytics brings together the dashboard and the performance report with its lines.

In the demo screenshot of the product mapping, the row shows the status Synced. If you want to see which statuses each record goes through and which fields to fill in when you start, it is covered in the connector set-up guide. And if one of these screens shows you a warning, the error messages guide lists the literal texts and what to do about each one.
