Before you start

What you’ll need

Step 1: Create your Decathlon channel

  1. In your Channable account, go to Channels.
  2. Search for and select Decathlon.
  3. Set up your channel settings:
    1. Name: Provide a unique name for your channel. Used to identify it within Channable.
    2. Unique ID per item: Select the field containing your product IDs (this is often ‘id’).
    3. Language, choose the language your product data is in. 
    4. Use master rule group: Add a master rule group or leave this empty.
    5. Status: Leave your API deactivated for now.
  4. Click Save.
Note: You can't set up different Decathlon channels for different countries with the same connection. If you want to list in multiple regions from one Decathlon account, you'll need to set up Sales Channels. 

Step 2: Categorize your products

  1. Go to the Categories step.
  2. Click on the Manual categorization tab.
  3. Begin assigning categories to your product data:
    1. If you have category information in an existing project field, click Generate categories and select it to automatically create categories using that information.
  4. Map (assign) categories for all remaining uncategorized items.

Step 3: Create rules to enrich, filter, and refine your product data

When your product data is incomplete or doesn’t match the format that Decathlon requires, you can use rules to tweak and optimize your product data to meet listing requirements. 

  1. Go to the Rules step.
  2. Click Create rule.
  3. Use rule templates or create a custom rule based on what you would like to adjust. 
  4. Click Save.

For more information on how to set up a rule, or rule combinations, refer to our rules articles.

Step 4: Map shared attributes

  1. Go to the Build step.
  2. Map any attributes marked as Required by marketplace. 
  3. Go over and map any remaining attributes that are relevant for your business.
  4. Click Save.
Tip: Click Auto-map fields and our AI will automatically map attributes according to data from similar setups.

Step 5: Map category attributes 

  1. In the Build step, click on the Attributes per category tab.
  1. Click on your first category.
  2. Map any attributes marked as Required by marketplace. 
  3. Go over and map any remaining attributes that are relevant for your business.
  4. Click Save.
  5. Repeat this process for your remaining categories.

Additional information/requirements for Decathlon

GPSR requirements

The European Union (EU) has introduced new GPSR and DSA requirements for online platforms, including marketplaces. 

To comply with GPSR for Decathlon, you will need to do the following:

  • In the Attributes per category tab in the Build step,  ensure all attributes with the prefix "Gpsr-" are mapped with the appropriate information per region (indicated by the country code in the field name e.g. De_DE)

 

Sales channels

Certain Mirakl marketplaces provide the option to define sales channels, allowing you to customize your product listings by markets/regions, such as “France” or “Italy.” This feature can be particularly useful when you want to set different prices or apply other offer data for each channel.

With a project field, you can dynamically use the Enabled or Disabled setting to adjust which products in your channel are sent to which specific sales channel. Learn more.
