Some fields are mandatory and must be completed for your products to be created or updated. Other fields are optional but Auchan recommends you fill them in to improve your products visibility.
Some special features for Auchan:
1. Set up your special offers/sales/Black Friday

- "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
