Kijiji Auto Dealer Posting Service Through FlexDealer

Written by FlexDealer Team       | Apr 28, 2014 4:00:00 AM

FlexDealer is pleased to announce that we have signed a data feed agreement with Kijiji to directly syndicate inventory from FlexDealer to the newly-released Kijiji Inventory Tool (KIT).

Before this exciting announcement, all inventory feeds from FlexDealer to Kijiji were required to run through a 3rd party, and in order to further manage the ads and handle billing, dealers needed to sign in to that 3rd party platform. Now, with KIT, we send your inventory directly to Kijiji, and any billing or ad management happens right in Kijiji’s system.

What this means is that as an automotive, RV, or powersport dealer, you can continue to use FlexDealer’s intuitive inventory management platform to manage your vehicles, while enjoying a much faster turnaround time and significantly greater accuracy in posting to Kijiji.

Enjoy keeping Total Control of your online presence in order to attract, engage and convert more qualified vehicle shoppers.

Customer FAQ

What is KIT? It's on LiftKit Inventory, too.

KIT (Kijiji Inventory Tool) is a new tool created by Kijiji to allow dealers to manage their ads and billing with Kijiji directly instead of through a 3rd party.

How does this affect my current Kijiji feed through FlexDealer?

Up until now, all of the inventory feeds from FlexDealer to Kijiji have run through a 3rd party. We are pleased to announce that FlexDealer has signed a data feed agreement with Kijiji to syndicate your inventory to KIT directly, without using any 3rd party sites. With your inventory going directly from FlexDealer to Kijiji, your ads will get posted more quickly and with much greater accuracy.

When will the new feed take effect?

We anticipate that we will be rolling out this update to all existing and new clients within the next week or so. We will notify you as soon as your feed has been converted.

Do I have to do anything differently?

Nothing will change for you on the FlexDealer side of things. You can continue to manage your inventory completely within the FlexDealer platform just like you do now. We will ensure that it everything gets copied over correctly to KIT.

The only thing that will be different is that if you are currently signing in to the 3rd party system to manage your ads and billings, you will now do this through KIT directly. Your Kijiji rep will reach out to you soon, if they haven’t already, with details on how to access KIT.

What if I have additional questions?
