### Create your product listings in Channable

Follow these sub-steps to set up your channel.

#### Categorize your products

  * Smart Categorization: automatically assigns product categories using our algorithm.
  * Manual Categorization: manually assign product categories with custom rules.
  * Uncategorized Items: products that still need to be reviewed and categorized.

#### Set up rules

* Rules help you quickly optimize your product data for your target marketplace.
  * Rule templates: commonly used rules you can adjust and customize.
  * Rules setup: set up rules to refine your product data (filter, modify, enhance fields).

#### 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.

### 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.
