RecordToko

Built for record shops and collectors who sell on Discogs and want their own webshop next to it – without maintaining two inventories by hand.

RecordToko imports your Discogs marketplace inventory straight into WooCommerce, so you don’t have to list every record twice.

Features

• Import from a Discogs inventory-export CSV, or fetch and download the export directly from Discogs from inside wp-admin.
• Enriches each listing with cover image, tracklist, and genres/styles from the Discogs release catalogue.
• Price rules: apply a percentage or fixed adjustment to Discogs prices, with an optional floor price and psychological (x.95) rounding, plus a per-item override at import time.
• A dry-run preview is mandatory before anything is written — see exactly what will be created, updated, or skipped, and review any errors, before a single product changes.
• A change log records every create/update action so you can see what happened and when.
• Your own product photos always take priority — the plugin never overwrites a photo you added yourself with a Discogs cover image.

What you can do with it

Getting your inventory in

• Upload a Discogs inventory-export CSV by hand (up to 10 MB), or let the plugin request and download the export straight from your Discogs account — no file juggling.
• Works with or without a Discogs personal access token. Without one the plugin still runs, at Discogs’ lower anonymous rate limit; the settings screen tells you so.
• Every import is resumable and batched in the background, so an inventory of hundreds or thousands of records does not time out.

Deciding what your prices are

• Choose a percentage adjustment (for example -20% because you save the marketplace fee) or a fixed amount up or down.
• Set an optional floor price so nothing is ever listed below what you are willing to accept.
• Switch on psychological rounding to land prices on x.95 — rounding only ever lowers a price, never raises it.
• Override the price of any individual record in WooCommerce afterwards; a later re-import will not undo your prices unless you want it to.

Seeing what will happen before it happens

• A dry-run preview is mandatory: totals for what will be created and updated, plus a sample of enriched rows exactly as they will appear.
• Malformed data is refused loudly, with the offending row named — for example a price written as “9,99” instead of “9.99” — instead of being silently imported wrong.
• Nothing is written to your shop until you press the confirm button.

Watching the import

• Live progress bar with a running count and a tail of the change log while the batches run.
• Every create, update, skip and error is written to a change log so you can see exactly what happened and when.
• A reset button clears a stuck import, and an import that stalls for over an hour is cleaned up automatically.

What lands in your shop

• A complete WooCommerce product per record: title as artist, title, format and year; cover image; tracklist table; media and sleeve condition; seller notes.
• Genres and styles from Discogs become product categories, so your shop is browsable from day one.
• Stock is set per record and items not marked “For Sale” arrive as drafts, ready for you to review.
• Every product page carries the “Data provided by Discogs” attribution required by the Discogs API terms.

Staying in control

• Your own product photos always win: a photo you added yourself is never replaced by a Discogs cover.
• Titles and descriptions you edited by hand survive every re-import — only price, stock, status and categories are refreshed.
• Products that were not created by RecordToko are never touched, even if their SKU happens to match.
• Re-importing the same export is safe: records are matched by SKU (which holds the Discogs listing ID), so you get updates, not duplicates.
• Uninstalling removes everything the plugin stored, including your access token, cached data and the change log table.

Good to know

• This version is one-way: RecordToko reads from Discogs and writes to WooCommerce. It never creates, changes or ends listings on Discogs.
• The plugin keeps itself well within Discogs’ rate limits and pauses automatically when asked to, so your account stays in good standing.
• Available in English; the interface is fully translatable.

Discogs API usage and disclaimer

This application uses Discogs’ API but is not affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by Discogs. ‘Discogs’ is a trademark of Zink Media, LLC.

As required by the Discogs API terms of service, every product page created or updated by this plugin displays a “Data provided by Discogs” notice linking back to the source release on Discogs. Enrichment data (cover image, tracklist, genres/styles) fetched from Discogs is cached for a maximum of 6 hours before being refreshed. The plugin only ever talks to api.discogs.com — no other third-party or external service is contacted, and the plugin collects and sends no telemetry of any kind.

External services

This plugin connects to the Discogs API (api.discogs.com), a service operated by Zink Media, LLC (“Discogs”). It is required for the plugin’s core functionality: importing and enriching your record inventory.

What is sent and when:

• During an import or preview, the plugin sends the release IDs from your inventory to the Discogs API to fetch catalogue data (titles, track lists, genres, cover images).
• If you configure a Discogs personal access token, that token is sent with each API request as authentication.
• If you use the “Fetch from Discogs” option, the plugin requests and downloads your own inventory export from your Discogs account.
• No other data is transmitted. The plugin sends nothing to any other external service and collects no telemetry.
