Before you start
Pixmania is an online marketplace for tech and electronics. Pixmania decides who sells there, so apply first and wait for their approval before you connect. Everything the wizard asks for comes out of your own Pixmania seller back office, so keep that open next to e-tailize.
Pixmania 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 Pixmania.
We connect Pixmania for France.
Steps
Create the API key in the Pixmania back office and copy it in full. The Store Id belongs to the same seller account and sits in its settings or on the main page. The tile in the wizard is labelled "Pixmania", and France is the only sales location it offers.
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 Pixmania logo under "Connect marketplace provider".
The wizard for Pixmania: "Fill in required connection tokens" with the fields of Pixmania 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?". The list holds "France".
Fill in "Store Id".
Click "Save".
Click "Validation" in the left sidebar, pick the Pixmania tile and click "Add missing PIM tabs" on every category you sell there.
Fill the mandatory Pixmania fields on those tabs and click "Validate products". Get a product live walks through that screen step by step.
Click "Listing", pick the Pixmania tile, select your validated products and click "List content". Click "List offers" once the content is through.
What happens next
A listing leaves in two parts, the content first and the offers after it. A validation error stops a product before it leaves e-tailize, a listing error comes back from Pixmania after the product was sent, so look at the listing screen again a while after your run.
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 Pixmania come in under "Fulfillment" and then "Orders", with the same "Open", "Processing" and "Closed" filters as your other channels.
Common problems
An empty form comes back with "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 key copied halfway, or one regenerated afterwards, saves fine and then moves nothing. Pixmania accepts only products with an EAN, and it wants a title and a description in the language of the market you sell in.
