Best practices for Mirakl marketplaces

• In the Build step, 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.

• 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.
