Step 1: Add a new Conforama connection
The Conforama API uses the Mirakl platform, which means you will need a Mirakl- account to start sending your product listings to Conforama.
When you have a Mirakl Conforama account, go to Connections > Add connection. Click + Add a new connection and you will see a screen, where you can select Conforama. Fill in the label for your connection, for example, Conforama. And then click Connect with Conforama. You will be redirected to the environment where you can log in with your Mirakl-credentials. After logging in, you will be redirected back to Channable where the connection will be available.
Step 2: Add a new Conforama API in Channable
Now go to the API's overview, in your project. And click on "+ Add new API", Select the Conforama connection you just made, and give your new API a name.
Select the field you want to use for Unique ID per item (we recommend the 'id' field), and the Language for categories. You can also add a master rule group here if you want. Click on "Continue" to finish creating the new Conforama API.
Step 3: Create your product listings in Channable
Once you have created the Conforama API you can setup your product data by following the steps of the API.
-
Categories
For your product data to be created, your products need a category. Add categories to your products by using the generate categories feature, or create new categories from scratch.
-
Rules
Create different rules to optimize your product data. For example, take a look at our common rules support article.
-
Build
Here you can find our preset template for the product listings. All you have to do is to fill it out by clicking on the field itself and selecting what you would like to go in there. For example, the field 'Price' should display the price of your product and so on. When you have finished setting up the product listings, just click 'save' at the bottom of the screen.
Tip: Notice the question mark behind every field, if you hover over the question mark you will see the description of the field and suggestions for possible values.
Eco-contributions
France introduced legislation for eco-participation. If your company is operating in France, your company must add eco-contributions to your offers on the marketplace. In this article, you can find a list of available EPR categories.
-
Attributes
Almost done! Next up is filling in the fields in the Attributes step. Select the category you want to optimize first. An example of what should be in front of you now can be seen in the screenshot below. A more detailed explanation of what to do in the Attributes step can be found in our Attributes support article.
GPSR and DSA requirements
The European Union (EU) has introduced new GPSR and DSA requirements for online platforms, including marketplaces.
For your Conforama API in Channable, make sure to fill in the attributes in the Attributes step (V1 marketplaces) or in the category-specific Attributes per category tab in the Build step (V2 marketplaces):
- Référence Fournisseur
Step 4: Send your product data to Conforama
Once all steps are completed, you are ready to send your product listings. Follow the instructions below to send your product listings:
- Go to Settings > Project settings.
- Click Activate project.
- Navigate back to APIs and go to [Your API Name] > Settings.
- Select Activate API to activate the API.
- Return to the APIs overview and click Run now to send your product listings.
Step 5: Check your product listings for errors
If you have sent your product listings to Conforama go to the Preview tab of your Conforama API. Click filter on 'error'. Now you can see which product listings have errors and are not placed. Click on a specific error to see more information on what is causing the error, and check out our error solutions section on how to correct errors.
Best practices
Adding multiple attribute values: When adding multiple values in an attribute field for Mirakl Marketplaces, separate each value with a pipe symbol "|" to ensure proper detection and processing.
Seller's Product ID for Single/simple products: Please note that there are two attributes named 'SellerArticleId' and 'SellerProductId,' respectively. 'SellerProductId' refers to the Parent ID, while 'SellerArticleId' refers to the variant items. For single products, both attributes must be filled with the same value.
