Build your listings

The Build step configures product listings to match marketplace requirements.

• 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. You can leave these attributes unmapped.

Shared attributes

• Common fields across products (EAN, prices, titles). Map shared attributes for consistent listings.

• Use static or dynamic values:

  • Static values: fixed values (e.g., brand).

  • Dynamic values: fields that update from linked data (e.g., stock, prices).

Category-specific attributes

• Fields that apply to specific categories (e.g., size for clothing). Fill in attributes for the selected category.

Tip: Click Auto-map fields to automatically map using information using information from your other channels or other similar setups. Learn more.

Best practices for Mirakl marketplaces

• Add multiple attribute values separated by a pipe symbol "|" for proper detection.

• SellerProductId vs SellerArticleId:

  • SellerProductId is the Parent ID; SellerArticleId refers to variant items.

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