Multi-country
5 countries are available in Lengow for Secret Sales:
- United Kingdom
- Belgium
- The Netherlands
- Ireland
- Spain
The country of distribution must be enabled in your Mirakl account before setting up the feed in Lengow.
A Secret Sales Mirakl Shop must be created for each country you wish to display your products in.
If you want to sell in Belgium in both languages, you will need to add one feed and set up bith languages (French and Dutch) in this feed.
Each feed will get a different ShopID, therefore each feed would have to be opened in a different Lengow sub-account. If you do not have sub-account yet, please contact your account manager.
Each country feed requires its own offer for each product (i.e. a price and a stock).
