Fnac (Mirakl)

fnac-logo-695x356.png

Fnac Darty group is unifying its back office, Fnac (French and Belgium) and Darty marketplaces becoming a unique plateform. News and details here!

Contact Fnac (vendeurspros.mp@fnac.com) to know if you are eligible to sell your products on their website.
To distribute your products on Fnac, check that your products catalogue contains the data normally required.
Note: you don't have these values in your products catalogue? Contact the Lengow Support Team to find an alternative.

EAN Matching

Fnac allows EAN Matching, i.e. if your products have already been created by the marketplace by another reseller, you don't need to send the "products" values usually required to create the product ad on this channel. Matching is done on the basis of the EAN code.

For these products: 

  • Make sure to fill in the "EAN" attributes and all attributes indicating "Champ du flux offre" in their description in Lengow (= Field from offers feed).

Add a channel catalogue

Add a Fnac channel in your Lengow account.

For France, select the "Full Fnac FR" universe.

 If you want to add a Belgium, Spain or Portugal Fnac feeds, two feeds must be added in the Lengow platform:
    • "Fnac Catalogue" (to create and list products, must be manually sent to your Fnac Darty account manager)
    • "Fnac" (to send offers, can be on existing products with EAN/SKU matching - read below)

Match Categories

Match your categories with Fnac's using "Categories Matching".

Complete Attributes Matching

Match your products catalogue fields with the fields requested by the channel, based on field definition. 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 match with your products catalogue values.
If a value is missing in the drop-down menu, please contact your Fnac 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 Fnac recommends you fill them in to improve your products visibility.

Manufacturer seller must be filled. Fill in None if necessary.

  • From your Mirakl space, you can retrieve category lists and accepted values for attributes.

Go to: "My stock"> "import by file"> "Import your stock in the operator format" and click on " Configure and download an Excel file template in operator format"

July 2022 - Changes in categories and attributes
  • To sum up

Certain categories and attributes will be removed and replaced by new ones. 
Product creation and modification is not available during Fnac's technical shutdown, from July 4th to 28th.

  • What you have to do in Lengow

Check the settings of the products in the affected categories (see below the original message for the list of categories):

  • Original message

[...] Fnac and Darty have worked on the standardization of our catalogues since April. This has led to changes in the list of categories and attributes to be filled in your flows for creating or modifying product sheets for the categories below :

    • Sport & leisure
    • DIY & Gardening
    • Pets products
    • Music instruments
    • Goodies

Following the different deployment task, you may have to recreate your offer.[...]

FNAC :
There will be a technical shutdown during the migration from July 4th to 28th. All product creations or product changes you will make will have to wait until the end of the migration to be observed on Fnac.com.

From Friday 15th of July, MIRAKL FNAC will be updated : new categories and attributes will be set in order to classify and describe your products.
If you usually work with an API flow, with a channel manager or regularly update your offer CSV, don’t worry, your offers will be automatically recreated.
In case of a manual management of your offers from the seller back office, you may have to recreate them. We invite you to check after our category updates that your offers are still online.

If you have created product sheets in those categories in the past, we will change their categories and make changes to bring the content to the new attributes. For your future product creations, you need to use one of the categories listed in the file below: https://fnacdartymarketplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/New_CategoriesAttributes_Diversif_lot2.xlsx.

We are completely aware that these projects impact you on a daily basis, and we are working to improve our transition processes for the Fnac/Darty Marketplaces so that it is transparent for you.
If you have any questions, you can contact us at support-marketplace-darty@fnacdarty.com with the subject line « Uniformization of product categories ».
