Why can’t Price2Spy do the Reprice of my products using Kelkoo?

The reason is pretty simple – the feed you provide to Kelkoo (or to Price2Spy) works as one-way communication (from your store to Price2Spy). However, in order to reprice your products, we need a 2-way communication, so your store can accept data from Price2Spy. Unfortunately, Kelkoo is designed only for 1-way communication. In order to perform Reprice of your products, please check Price2Spy API possibilities, or integrating Price2Spy with standard shopping carts.
