Add a channel catalogue

Add a channel catalogue in your Lengow account.

We recommend defining a Segment within your product catalogue to only configure and send the products you want to publish on this channel.

map Categories

map your categories using "Categories mapping".

Complete Attributes mapping

map your products catalogue fields with the fields requested by the channel, based on fields definitions. If necessary, enter hard values, use functions and/or adapt the values by creating rules. For fields with valid values, select the suggested value or map with your products catalogue values.
If a value is missing in the drop-down menu, please contact your channel account manager and ask for the creation of the concerned value.

Some fields are mandatory and must be completed for your products to be created or updated. Other fields are optional but the channel recommends you fill them in to improve your products visibility.

1. Set up your special offers/sales

To set up special offers/sales, fill in the following fields:

• "price": strikethrough price of your product (original price). If your product is not discounted, this field must be filled in with your usual selling price.
• "discount-price": discounted price of your product.
• "discount-start-date" (optional): the date on which your promotion/sale begins. If you fill in this field and the "discount_price" field, the promotion will only begin on the date provided. Format: YYYY-MM-DD
• "discount-end-date" (optional): the date on which your promotion/sale ends. If you fill in this field and the "discount_price" field, the promotion will stop on the date provided. Format: YYYY-MM-DD

2. Delivery method and costs

Shipping costs and delivery methods are defined by La Poste. Contact La Poste to obtain the table of costs.

Select delivery methods in your La Poste back office.

Please note that each product is linked to a logistics category. The shipping costs are calculated on the basis of:

• the delivery method linked to the product
• the logistics category linked to the product

For the logistics category, you may choose between several options:

Keep the logistics category assigned by default by La Poste. In that case, no action needs to be taken by you in Lengow.

OR

Change the logistics category assigned by default by La Poste. In that case, fill in the field "logistic_class" (contact your La Poste account manager to obtain the list of authorised values).

Note: Go to your Mirakl back office if you want to set up free shipping costs for all your products.

3. Variation values

La Poste allows product variations. To decline your products, fill in the following attribute:

• "variantGroupCode": parent ID of your variations (common reference for all variations of a product). This attribute must be empty if the product is not declined.

Manage your Exclusions

Follow the usual instructions for exclusions.

• Offer Feed: enables the update of prices, stock, etc. It is sent to La Poste every hour.

Read channel reports

Read product and offer channel reports to check that your products are properly configured, either at product creation level (product feed) or updates (offer feed). These reports list only items which were rejected by the channel. For each product in error, the channel specifies the reason for the rejection.

Product and offer channel reports are available and downloadable from:

• Lengow: "Channel" tab > select "name of the channel" > click on "Activity"
• Your Channel Mirakl back office:
  • Products feed report: "My Inventory" > "Import From File" > "Track product imports"
  • Offers feed report : "My Inventory" > "Import From File" > "Track offer imports"

Check our usual guidelines to edit your data.
