How do I switch between several OTTO accounts?
Last updated: 31 October 2026 · The MargenOptimierer app is in German. Button and menu names are shown exactly as you see them, with the English meaning in brackets.
A company can connect several OTTO accounts, but MargenOptimierer always shows exactly one. You choose which one at the top left of the sidebar. Every page then shows only the items, campaigns and figures of that account, and nothing is ever added together. Each OTTO account has its own free trial and its own base price.
How it works
- At the top left of the sidebar, click the name of your OTTO account.
- In the list, choose the account you want to see.
Example: A second account “Outlet”
You sell 1,000 items through your OTTO account and later connect a second account, “Outlet”. If you choose your first account at the top left, the Produkte (products) page shows its 1,000 items. If you switch to “Outlet”, it shows only the items of “Outlet”. There is no view with the items of both accounts.
Say the base price is 60 € a month per OTTO account. “Outlet” gets its own free trial after you connect it, and while that's running, “Outlet” costs no base price. You keep paying 60 € a month for your first account during that time, and afterwards 120 € for both accounts together.
When accounts or companies are added
Connecting another account
While you only have one account, the top left shows only its name, with no list. You connect another one under Einstellungen (settings) in the OTTO-Verbindung (OTTO connection) tab. Click Weiteres OTTO-Konto verbinden (connect another OTTO account) there, and the steps at OTTO are the same as for the first account. The new account needs its own targets, and Übersicht (overview) takes you to where you set them. If the button is missing, you can't connect another account right now, so write a support ticket.
An account is disconnected
If an account shows „Getrennt“ (disconnected), MargenOptimierer no longer fetches data from OTTO for that account. If another of your accounts is connected, MargenOptimierer automatically shows that one. How to reconnect an account is explained under How do I connect my OTTO account?
Several companies
If you're a member of several companies, for example as an agency, you first choose the company at the top left and below it its OTTO account. Next to each company is your role in that company.
