  • API URL – Enter the full API endpoint URL provided by Bild.

  • API Key – Paste the API key issued by Bild.

Adjust these parameters according to your business protocols:

  • Settings – Select the warehouse for fulfilment and configure shipping SLAs.

  • Stock Control – Enable Auto Sync Stock to maintain inventory parity.

  • Brand – Configure company details for invoices and branding.

  • Commercial Invoice – Enter VAT ID and company address if required.

  • Despatch Emails – Decide whether Helm should send dispatch notifications and tracking updates.

  • Feedback Emails – Enable order feedback emails if required.

🔐 Credentials must correspond with those used to access your Bild account.

Step 3: Save and Activate

Click Submit (or Save) to store your credentials.

Once the credentials are submitted, Helm will verify the connection with Bild. After successful verification, the channel will be activated, and order imports, inventory updates, and fulfilment information will begin syncing automatically according to the configured settings.

Your Bild channel is now fully integrated with Helm. Orders will import automatically, inventory levels will remain accurate, and fulfilment updates will synchronise in real time. This centralised integration ensures efficient operations, reduces manual errors, and provides a single point of control across all connected sales channels.
