Step 3: Create your product listings in Channable

Follow these steps to set up your channel:

1) Categorize your products

Set up your product data by assigning categories to your products. 

  • Smart Categorization: Automatically assigns product categories using our algorithm.
  • Manual Categorization: Manually assign product categories with custom rules. You can create detailed filters to map each product to their correct category.
  • Uncategorized Items: Products that still need to be reviewed and categorized.

2) Set up rules

Rules help you quickly optimize your product data for your target marketplace. 

  • Rule templates: Commonly used rules you can adjust and customize for your needs.
  • Rules setup: Set up rules to refine your product data. With rules, you can filter, modify, and/or enhance data fields to meet marketplace requirements.

3) Build your listings

The Build step is where you configure your product listings to match marketplace requirements. It’s an essential step for getting your products live and avoiding errors.

Mandatory and optional fields: 

  • Mandatory fields : Required to list your products on this marketplace
  • Recommended : Suggested to avoid errors
  • Optional : Not required to list
Important: Some attributes may be mandatory even if they don't seem relevant for your specific situation (e.g. an attribute for adding a Spanish title when you’re only selling in Germany). You can leave these attributes unmapped. 

Shared attributes

Shared attributes are the common fields that apply across your products, such as EAN, prices, and titles. Mapping your shared attributes ensures uniform and consistent product information across your listings.

  • Use static or dynamic Values:
    • Static values: Fixed values that don’t change (e.g. brand name, manufacturer)
    • Dynamic values: Fields that automatically update based on the linked data (e.g. stock, prices)

Category-specific attributes

Category-specific attributes fields that specifically apply to your product's categories. This step helps fine-tune your listings to meet category requirements for your marketplace.

Fill in attributes that are specific to the selected category (e.g. size for clothing or dimensions for furniture.) 

Tip: Click Auto-map fields to automatically map categories using information previously provided in the same channel. Learn more.

Best practices for Mirakl marketplaces

Adding multiple attribute values: Separate multiple values in an attribute with a pipe symbol "|" for proper detection and processing. 

Seller's Product ID for single/simple products: There are two attributes called SellerArticleId and SellerProductId. SellerProductId is the Parent ID, while SellerArticleId refers to variant items. 

  • For single products, both SellerArticleId and SellerProductId must be filled with the same value.

4) Check the quality of your set up

The Quality step provides feedback on your channel before you activate it. It highlights mandatory and optional errors to ensure your product data meets requirements to list on the marketplace.

  1. Solve errors, prioritizing mandatory errors first.

Actions

  • View items: See products with specific issues.
  • View in build: Redirects to the Build step to map missing information.
  • Set categories: Directs to the Categories step to categorize items.
  • Show source: Available for ID fields. Directs to the Settings step.

5) Preview before activating

The Preview step displays the attributes you mapped in the Build step, helping you check if everything is configured correctly by providing an overview of your products and potential errors.

Filtering:

  • Filter by error: Click the All dropdown and select if you would like to filter to display only products with errors, or products with a specific error.
  • Filter by category: Click the All categories dropdown and select the category you want to filter by.

Before you continue:

  2. At Linked seller account, click Select seller account.
  3. If you have an existing FNAC Darty seller account, select it from the available options.
  4. To link a new seller account:
    1. For Label, give your connection a descriptive name. This is used to distinguish your connections from one another in Channable.
    2. For Shop ID, paste the Shop ID for the platform (either FNAC or Darty) you want to list on.
  5. Click Connect with FNAC Darty. You will be redirected to FNAC to log in with your credentials.
  6. Accept any requested permissions. You will be redirected back to Channable.


Step 5: Send your product listings to FNAC/Darty

  1. At API Status, click Activate API.
  2. Click Save to confirm.
  3. Click Run now to send your listings to FNAC/Darty.

 

Step 6: Check your product listings for errors

Go to the Result step and click on the Feedback tab. This page displays all possible processing errors your product data has at a given moment. 

Resolving errors:

Important: Not all errors prevent your products from listing. We recommend following the steps and using your Successful tab as the source of truth.
  1. In Description, click on the error name. This takes you to an overview of the products with that error.
  2. In ID, click the ID number and scroll. You should see a red highlighted callout in the section where the error occurred. Hover over the callout for more information.
    1. If the error is a mapping error, click View in build to be directed to the attribute you need to map/re-map, which is highlighted in blue.
    2. For more information about the attribute and its accepted values, hover over .
  3. Resolve the error.
  4. Repeat for remaining errors. When you're ready, run your channel again by clicking Run now.

You can check your successfully listed products in the Successful tab. 

Note: If you receive the error ERR_026: Product not found, you are trying to add one or more products that aren't currently listed on FNAC Darty. You can only add your offer to existing listings.
