How to set up a Leroy Merlin or Bricoman channel

If you've set up another channel with the same products, you can copy categories from that setup to apply to your channel.

1. In the Categories step, click on the Manual Categorization tab.
2. Click Copy categories. In the pop-up, select a project to copy categories from.
3. Click Copy here.

1. In the Categories step, click on the Manual Categorization tab.
2. Click Generate categories. At Set category field, select the field containing your product categories (this is often 'category').
3. Click Save.
4. If you have remaining products without categories, continue to Manually generate categories.

You can create conditions to assign categories to products in bulk.

1. In the Categories step, click on the Uncategorized items tab.
2. Check your items to see if you can identify a common pattern you can filter by. (For example, if 'electric' is in the title of all small electric goods)
3. Click on the Manual Categorization tab and select Add category.
4. Create a rule to apply categories to products in bulk. 
   Example: If title contains electric set to category [select relevant category from dropdown].
5. Click Save.
6. Click Items after in the footer to see how many items were affected by your rule.
7. Repeat until you're satisfied with the amount categorized.

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 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.)

This error signifies a group of errors that typically occur when Mirakl can’t identify a product’s EAN in the Mirakl database. This means the product is either new to Mirakl, or missing attributes it needs to be recognized as a product. 

Solution:

1. Check your categories: In the Categories step, check that your product categories are correctly matched. If they're not, take a moment to map them accurately. For detailed instructions on this process, refer to our article on mapping categories.
2. Check your mapping: In the Build step, check your mapped fields and correct anything that looks incorrectly mapped. You can use rules to create and populate new fields.

Once you’ve checked both your categories and mapped attributes, click Run now to run your channel again.

This error occurs when items are sent with categories that don't match the categories on Mirakl. Any existing mapping in Mirakl will override the category mapping you make in Channable.

 

Solution:

To fix this, remove any existing category mapping from Mirakl.

1. In your Mirakl Connect account, go to Settings > Catalog Mapping.

1. At My catalog structure, click Root and select Category. This opens up all mapping related to categories.
2. Click Category again and select Remove mapping. 
   
3. Return to [your Leroy Merlin channel] in Channable and click Run now to run it again.

Your category mismatch should be resolved.
