Connecting Additional Ad Platform Costs to Klar

How to connect ad platforms like Idealo, Snapchat, Criteo, and Awin so their costs appear in your Klar reports.

Written by Michael Stenger

tl;dr

  • Platforms not natively supported by Klar (e.g. Idealo, Snapchat, Criteo, Awin) can be connected via Windsor.ai, a third-party data connector

  • The Klar CS team sets this up for you — for some platforms you need to prepare API credentials first

  • For Idealo and Snapchat, follow the steps below. For Criteo and Awin, just reach out and we'll guide you through the process.


How it works

Klar uses Windsor.ai to pull cost data from platforms that don't have a native Klar integration. Once connected, your spend data flows into Klar daily and appears in your marketing reports alongside your other channels.

The Klar CS team handles the Windsor.ai setup. For some platforms you'll need to generate credentials in advance — see below.


What to provide per platform

Idealo

Idealo requires API credentials generated from the Idealo Business portal.

What to send the CS team:

  1. Shop ID

  2. Client ID

  3. Client Secret ⚠️ Only shown once at creation — copy it immediately

  4. CPC Price

Where to generate your Idealo API credentials:

  1. Log into your Idealo Business account

  2. Go to My idealoSettingsAPI clientsidealo business API

  3. Create a new API client — copy the Client Secret immediately, as it is only displayed once

  4. Note down your Shop ID

⚠️ If you've lost your Client Secret, you'll need to delete the old API client and create a new one.


Criteo, Snapchat, or Awin

For Criteo, Snapchat and Awin, please reach out to us directly — we'll walk you through what's needed for your specific setup.

How to request the connection

  1. Reach out to the Klar CS team via the in-app chat or at [email protected] and let us know which platform(s) you want to connect.

  2. We'll send you a one-time secret link to share your credentials with us securely — no need to paste them into chat or email.

  3. Enter your credentials via the link. The CS team will then set up the Windsor.ai connector and confirm once data is flowing.

Also let us know the name you'd like to use for the channel in Klar (e.g. "Idealo", "Awin DE").
