**Good to know**

* MediaMarkt uses the Mirakl platform
* 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.

**What you’ll need**

* [A Mirakl account](https://www.miraklconnect.com/)
* A project in Channable with your imported products
* Products with EAN codes

#### Common Errors and Solutions <a href="#h_01jtnb07by70bbkzxa1eay4s5d" id="h_01jtnb07by70bbkzxa1eay4s5d"></a>

<details>

<summary>mirakl_unknown_error_code</summary>

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.&#x20;

**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](https://helpcenter.channable.com/list-advertise/sell-on-marketplaces/get-started-with-marketplaces/marketplaces-categorization-step).
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.
