Before you start
Conforama sells furniture, decor, household goods and electronics for the home, out of France, and runs a marketplace next to its own stores. One connection serves the country you pick in the wizard. You need an approved seller account, an API key from the Conforama back office, and your store id, before you can connect.
Conforama runs on Mirakl, the software behind most retailer marketplaces we connect, so the wizard looks the same as for every other Mirakl marketplace. You need one API key from Conforama.
We connect Conforama for France and Spain.
Steps
Create the API key in the Mirakl back office of Conforama and copy it in full. Your store id sits there as well, in the settings or on the main page of your seller account. A key from another marketplace never works here, even though the form looks the same. The tile reads "Conforama.fr" and carries both countries, so pick the country of your store.
Open "Settings" in the left sidebar and click "Connections".
Click "New connection", or open the marketplace wizard directly.
Pick "Marketplace" in the chooser and click the Conforama logo under "Connect marketplace provider".
The wizard for Conforama: "Fill in required connection tokens" with the fields of Conforama Fill in "Connection name", your own reference for this connection.
Paste the value into "API KEY". The field is masked, so you see dots instead of what you pasted.
Pick the country you sell in under "Where do you offer your products?".
Fill in "Store Id".
Click "Save".
Click "Validation" in the left sidebar, pick the Conforama tile and click "Add missing PIM tabs" on every category you sell there.
Fill the mandatory Conforama fields on those tabs and click "Validate products". Get a product live walks through that screen step by step.
Click "Listing", pick the Conforama tile, select your validated products and click "List content". Click "List offers" once the content is through.
What happens next
Conforama splits your data the way every Mirakl marketplace does: the product is manufacturer data, the offer is your price, stock and condition. Which attributes are mandatory per category is set by Conforama itself and lives in its back office, so check the category tree there before you list.
The connection appears on the "API connections" page and as a card under "Existing connections" on the dashboard, and it starts feeding your dashboard, your orders and your stock. Orders from Conforama come in under "Fulfillment" and then "Orders", with the same "Open", "Processing" and "Closed" filters as your other channels.
Common problems
An empty form returns four messages: "Connection name is required", "Secret or Api key is a required field", "Sales location is a required field" and "Store Id is a required field". A wrong or half copied key never saves: we check it at Conforama ("Please wait while we verify the entered credentials.") and refuse with "Invalid connection credentials". A key regenerated in the back office after a good save moves nothing: make a fresh key and save again.
