Before you start
Vente-unique sells furniture and home products, and you sell there beside its own range. This article is about the product data you send to that channel. Connecting comes first, see Sell on Vente-unique.
Vente-unique runs on Mirakl, so your content leaves e-tailize through a PIM tab, a validation, and then the listing screen.
Steps
- Click "Products" and then "Edit" on the product you want on Vente-unique.
- Click the "Add new" tab at the end of the tab row.
- Choose the scope. "All products in this category" is preselected and creates the tab for every product in that category at once, so pick "Just this product" if you only want this one.
- Pick Vente-unique as the marketplace.
- Choose the Vente-unique category in "Select category". The categories come from the marketplace itself.
- Set translation on or off for the country store you sell in.
- Map your fields and click "Create tab". Create or delete a PIM tab walks the whole wizard.
- Click "Validation" in the left sidebar and pick the Vente-unique tile. The card of that category is there now.
- Click "Add missing PIM tabs" on that card, so the other products in the same category get their tab too. The button is off when every product in the category already has a tab.
- Keep the sizes and the colours of one product grouped together, because Vente-unique asks for grouped variants rather than a separate product per size.
- Record the labels your product carries. Vente-unique certifies on criteria such as organic cotton, recycled materials, sustainably managed forests, PEFC, Certipur, Oeko Tex Standard 100, Made in France and Made in Europe.
- Fill every remaining mandatory field on the tab.
- Click "Validate products" on the card and pick "Validate only", or pick "Fill mandatory fields & validate" to have e-tailize fill the gaps first. The button stays grey while nothing on that card waits on mandatory fields or validation.
- Click "Listing", pick the Vente-unique tile, select your validated products and click "List content".
- Click "List offers" once the content is through.
What happens next
Your content lands in the Vente-unique catalogue first and your offer attaches to that entry, which is why the two buttons run in that order. What they do not accept comes back on the listing screen with the EAN, the field and the value it refused.
Content is not the whole story here. Vente-unique also expects stock that is up to date, short lead times with more than one delivery method, tracking links your customer can really click, and customer service in French.
Common problems
The category on the tab is wrong
The marketplace category is fixed the moment the PIM tab exists, so you cannot set another one on that tab. Delete the tab and build a new one with the right category: click "Products", "Edit" and the cross on the tab for one product, or click "Validation", select the category and use the trash icon for the whole category. Deleting a PIM tab does not take the product off the marketplace, and you cannot undo it.
Sizes and colours arrive as separate products
One product per size is what they ask you not to do. Group the variants in your data before you validate.
A mandatory field is empty
A validation error stops the product inside e-tailize, before anything is sent. A listing error comes back from Vente-unique after "List content". Fix validation and listing errors walks through both.
The images or the wording do not fit their charter
Vente-unique asks merchants to respect its visual charter and its labels. That charter is not in e-tailize, so compare your images and your product text with the guidelines in your back office.
FAQ
How long may a title or a description be?
We do not carry a length for this channel. The field rules live in your Vente-unique back office, which is where a changed rule shows up first.
Do I need separate content per country?
One connection carries one country store, so a second country is a second connection with its own key and its own "Store Id". Each connection gets its own PIM tab, and a PIM tab translates your content into the language that marketplace needs.
Which of my products fit Vente-unique?
Home related products. The categories you can pick sit in "Select category" while you create the tab, and they come from Vente-unique itself. Vente-unique picks the merchants that sit beside its own range, so apply and wait for their decision.
Does e-tailize check my content against the Vente-unique rules?
Validation checks the fields e-tailize knows for the channel and stops a product with a gap in it. It does not judge your photography or your wording against their charter, so that check stays yours.
