Contact Conforama (marketplacebyconfo@conforama.fr) to know if you are eligible to sell your products on their website.

To distribute your products on Conforama, check that your products catalogue contains the data normally required by Lengow.

EAN matching

When adding a new offer, the import process must identify the product associated with the offer.

There are several ways to map an offer with a product :

  •  Using a product unique identifier: EAN, ISBN, and so on. 
  1. In the "product-id-type" field, enter "EAN" (or ISBN, or else).
  2. In the "product-id" field, enter the unique identifier value. 
  •  Using your internal product SKU.

You must have previously sent your product SKU to the channel via the product import process. There are two ways to map the product with the offer:

  1. If your offer SKU is the same as your product SKU (which is different from the operator product SKU):
    Enter the SKU value in the "sku" field and leave the "product-id" and "product-id-type" fields empty.
  2. If your offer SKU is not the same as your product SKU:
    1. In the "sku" field, enter your offer SKU.
    2. In the "product-id-type" field, enter "SHOP_SKU".
    3. In the "product-id" field, enter your product SKU value.
Remember to do your category mapping before sending your EAN matching.
When updating an offer, Mirakl uses only the SKU field. If the "product-id" and "product-id-type" fields are specified, the process checks that the corresponding product is the same as the one already assigned to the offer.

  • "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

To know the date, please contact your Conforama account manager!

2. Delivery method and costs

Shipping costs and delivery methods are defined by the channel. Contact it to obtain the table of costs.

2.1 Delivery methods

Select delivery methods and set up the delivery min/max time in your Mirakl back office, in : "Settings" > "Shop" > "Delivery options".

2.2 Shipping costs

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 the channel. In that case, no action needs to be taken by you in Lengow.

OR

Change the logistics category assigned by default by the channel. In that case, fill in the field "logistic_class" (contact your channel 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.  

2.3 leadtime-to-ship

The "leadtime-to-ship" field corresponds to the time required (in days) to prepare an order.

Conforama indicates that it is imperative to fill in the "leadtime-to-ship" for your products as accurately as possible, so that the availability time (preparation + delivery) displayed to customers on the website is correct. The respect of this deadline is important for customer satisfaction.

The lead time must be a whole number between 1 and 60. The default leadtime is 5 days.

3. Variation values

Conforama accepts products variations.
Products may vary on 2 characteristics maximum: color, dimensions, number of seats, etc. The complete list is available in this Conforama file 

To manage your variations, fill in the following attribute:

  • "VGC": parent ID (a common identifier which groups all the variants of a product). This variant group code (VGC) must contain at least 6 characters.
    The VGC field must be empty if your product does not have variations.
Parent products must be excluded from the feed sent to Conforama, if your products catalogue contains any.
