Contact the marketplace to know if you are eligible to sell your products on their website.
To display your products on this marketplace, check that your products catalogue contains the data normally required by Lengow.
Pre-requisites:
You first have to upload your devices manually in your Spareka back office, before using the Lengow connector to manage your spare parts.
EAN matching
Spareka allows to display products using EAN matching method.
Within your Lengow feed, fill in these three attributes: sparePart[brand]/sparePart[reference]/sparePart[type] to identify the product/the sparepart at Spareka and specify the OFFER_SKU for the offer to be linked.
Then complete the following offer fields:
- logisticClass
- offerState
- quantity
- leadtimeToShip
- price[spk_fr] (optional)
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 promotions / sales
Spareka does not offer to set up special offers/sales.
2. Delivery method and costs
2.1. Delivery methods and costs
2.2. Logistic class
Logistics class are to be set up in your Spareka back-office (see image below). In Lengow, enter the code corresponding to the logistics class ("logisticClass" field) you wish to apply to the product.
2.3. leadtimeToShip
It corresponds to the time (in days) necessary to prepare an order.
Lead time to ship can be useful for built-on-demand products which need to be built, prepared, and packaged before they are sent. In this case you can specify a lead time to ship of five days for example, so that the customer knows that it will take five days before you ship the order.
3. Variation values
Spareka doesn't manage products variations and will create a separate product page for each product variation from your products catalogue.
For instance, there will be different product pages for a spare part available in different colors on the channel:
- One product sheet for the product X in black
- One product sheet for the product X in grey
- One product sheet for the product X in red
- One product sheet for the product X in blue
4. OFFER_SKU, brand, reference, type
Once an offer is created with a specific OFFER_SKU and a sparePart[brand]/sparePart[reference]/sparePart[type] combo (which identify the product/spare part at Spareka), it will be impossible to send this same OFFER_SKU on another product/spare part later.
Please avoid modifying these three attributes: sparePart[brand]/sparePart[reference]/sparePart[type] after creating an offer on the corresponding product, since it would lead to the error: "offer is already linked to another Spare Part".

Launch the channel catalogue
- Product Feed: enables the integration and creation of products.
It is sent to the channel once a day and it is managed manually by Spareka. Therefore products are not immediately displayed online.

Spare parts (=products) creation is allowed for some merchants only.These rights are managed by Spareka. Contact your Spareka account manager if needed.
- Offer Feed: enables the update of prices, stock, etc.
It is sent to the channel every hour.
Spareka processes the catalogue in two stages: "normalisation" (checking the feed format) and "error report generation" (checking the values within the feed).
Errors encountered in the second step will be transmitted to Lengow only if the first step is validated by Spareka.
Read Channels reports
Read product and offer Channels 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.
Product and offer Channels reports are available and downloadable in Lengow: "Channel" tab > select "name of the channel" > click on "Activity".
The "normalisation" stage will send a maximum of one error to Lengow. Correct the error so that you can resubmit your catalogue to the "normalisation" stage.
Once the "normalisation" is validated, the error reports will be more varied/precise regarding the attributes.
