Set up Galaxus feeds

Learn how to set up the required Galaxus feeds in Channable, map key attributes, validate feed quality, and activate your exports.

Galaxus is a Swiss-based online department store offering products from electronics to home goods.

In this guide, we'll cover setting up your Galaxus feeds to create and manage product listings on Galaxus through Channable.

---

Before you start

You'll need

• Permission to sell on Galaxus.
• Valid EAN numbers for all your products.

Without valid EANs, your products can't be listed on Galaxus.

Good to know

• You'll need to create a separate Galaxus feed for each country you want to list in.
• You can skip the Category step for all Galaxus feeds. Galaxus does not require platform-specific categories.

Create Galaxus feeds

To list on Galaxus, you need to set up at least 3 separate feeds.

Each feed serves a specific purpose:

• Stammdaten + Medien + Deklarationen: Sends core data, media, and declarations.
• Preisdaten + Bestandsdaten: Sends price and stock data.
• Spezifikationen: Sends product specifications.
• Zubehör: Sends related items and accessories.

Feed 1: Set up Stammdaten + Medien + Deklarationen feed

Set up this Galaxus feed to send your main product data, such as descriptions, images, and required legal details for Galaxus.

1

Create your Stammdaten Galaxus feed

1. In your Channable project, go to Channels > + Create channel.
2. In the search bar, enter Galaxus. Select it.
3. Configure your feed settings:

   1. Feed name: Give your feed a descriptive name (like 'Galaxus - DE - Stammdaten'). This will help you identify it later.
   2. Target country: Select the country you want to target items to.
   3. Type of market: Click the dropdown and select Stammdaten + Medien + Deklarationen (core data + media + declarations)

If you don't select a target country, the Type of market dropdown will be empty.

1. Click Save.

Map your product data

Product variants: If you want to create product variants for Galaxus, see this guide.

1. Go directly to the Mapping step. Skip the Categories and Rules steps.
2. Map the following attributes:

• ProductTitle_DE: Map the field containing your German product titles.

  The product title must:

  • use correct spelling and capitalization
  • have consistent titles across variants
  • include manufacturer part numbers only if they are part of the product name
  • not include brand names, category names, specs, or promotional text
  • be in German
  • no longer than 100 characters

It's important to keep your Galaxus product titles consistent, as they're used to group variants automatically. If titles differ, use VariantName to group them manually.

• LongDescription_DE: Map the field containing your product descriptions. Your Galaxus description should:

  • Be general and neutral.
  • Not include advertising, retailer-specific content, web links, or bullet points.
  • Be in German
  • Have less than 4,000 characters
  • include key information in the first 160–500 characters
  • avoid we/us, all caps, HTML formatting, trademarks, retailer names, and price details
  • avoid the word new
• VariantName: If you use variants, map the field that distinguishes each variant.

• ProviderKey: Map the field containing your Galaxus item number.
• Gtin: Map the field containing your item EANs.
• BrandName: Map the field containing the brand name. The brand name can be up to 100 characters.
