The purpose of this page is to describe in details how we will send price updates to offers on MIRAKL.

We are able to send updates to an offer using the call for creating an offer (OF01), but we need to specify the value in update_delete field to be equal to “update“ ( "update_delete": "update")

  • POST OF01 - Import a file to add offers

API Call: /api/offers/imports

API Docs: https://marketplace.kingfisher.com/help/api-doc/seller/mmp.html#OF01

Mapping:

Mirakl Field Mirakl Notes Required Hemi Field Hemi Note
sku The offer’s unique identifier in the shop - Required - Maximum 40 characters, no "/" character Yes Product >SKU
product-id Unique product identifier for a given product-id-type - Required at offer creation - Maximum 40 characters Yes Product >EAN
product-id-type Yes hardcoded as “ean“ If we have ean populated we hardcoded the type as “ean“
price The selling price in the currency.

It is up to the operator to define with the seller whether the selling price includes or excludes taxes. Decimal number; a period is used to separate cents | Yes | Product Account > Price OR Product Account> RRP | we send Product Account > RRP If RRP is populated and is bigger than Price | | min-quantity-alert | | | N/A | | | state | The state code of the offer The accepted values are defined from the Mirakl back office | Required | see notes | Mapping to our conditions: 11- New > 1000; 1-Excellent > 1500; 2-Very Good >4000; 3-Good >5000; 4-Sufficient >6000; 5-Refurbished_like_new > 2750 6-Refurnished_very_good >2500 7-Refurbished_good > 2000 8-Refurbished_acceptable > New state(condition) to be created in Hemi (8000) | | discount-price | | Yes | Product Account > Price | If RRP > Price

  1. If there are discount dates imported in Hemi we use them
  2. If there are no dates imported in Hemi we use the default dates (Now) and (Now + 2y) If RRP <= Price 3.We include the discount fields with empty values | | discount-start-date | | Yes | Product Account B&Q> Discount Start Date | If RRP > Price and If we do not specify any dates in the relevant fields we hardcoded current date (“NOW“) Date format - 2017-02-20T10:45:53+01 If RRP <= Price We include the discount fields with empty values | | discount-end-date | | Yes | Product Account B&Q > Discount End Date | If RRP > Price and If we do not specify any dates in the relevant fields we hardcode current date + 2 year (“NOW“ +2y) Date format - 2017-02-20T10:45:53+01 If RRP <= Price We include the discount fields with empty values |

We are able to update the price when we have the following internal statuses:

We pick the offer for update when we have:

Product status **= Product Published ; Listing Status **= Active/Inactive; Update Price= Pending If we send the offer for update successfully we set: Product status **= Product Published ; Listing Status **= Active/Inactive; Update Price = Sent

Once we receive success, we need to set following statuses:

Product status = Product Published; **Listing Status =Active/Inactive; Update Price = Not Needed**

If we receive an error we will have:

Product status **= Product Published ; Listing Status **= Active/Inactive; Update Price = Error

We must store the respectively error into the field “Update Price Error

Example Response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<offer_import_tracking>
    <import_id>2035</import_id>
    <product_import_id>2036</product_import_id>
</offer_import_tracking>

After each successfully send feed for creation we will receive the feed id from the response and need to store it in Marketplace Feeds table.

Mirakl Field Hemi Field Comment
import_id Marketplace Feed > External ID
Marketplace Feed > Account For which account is the feed generated.
Marketplace Feed > Type Hardcoded as “Offer Price Update“
Marketplace Feed > Submitted Date When the feed is submitted
Marketplace Feed > Sent Objects Count How many products we have pushed in the feed
Marketplace Feed > Completed Date When the feed is completed

Please note we will also add the feed objects which after processing need to be removed.

  • GET OF02 - Get information and statistics about an offer import

API Call: /api/offers/imports/{import}

API Docs: https://marketplace.kingfisher.com/help/api-doc/seller/mmp.html#OF02

Parameter Integration Notes / Value Required
import Import identifier Yes

Using this call, we are able to check the status of the imported file.

Example Response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<import>
    <date_created>2019-04-01T15:16:31Z</date_created>
    <has_error_report>false</has_error_report>
    <import_id>2035</import_id>
    <lines_in_error>0</lines_in_error>
    <lines_in_pending>0</lines_in_pending>
    <lines_in_success>1</lines_in_success>
    <lines_read>1</lines_read>
    <mode>NORMAL</mode>
    <offer_deleted>0</offer_deleted>
    <offer_inserted>1</offer_inserted>
    <offer_updated>0</offer_updated>
    <status>COMPLETE</status>
</import>

OF02 call is returning the response for the actual offer import (all offers).

Based on the response, we will need to check if we have to continue with the error report (if "has_error_report": true ) we continue with OF03, otherwise we treat it as success.

Success case:

Product status -Product Published ; Listing Status -Active/Inactive ; Update Price - Not Needed

Error case: If "has_error_report": true this means there is an error and we need to reach each of the reports in order to check for which item and what is the error.

Product status -Product Published ; Listing Status -Active/Inactive; Update Price - Error

and we need to store the relevant error in Product Account >Update Price Error field

  • GET OF03 - Get the error report file for an offer import

In order to check if there are any errors related to the products, into imported file we should use the GET OF03 API Call.

API Call: /api/offers/imports/{import}/error_report

As described above, this response give us detailed report of the SKUs and the actual SKUs errors are in the “error-message“  which we store in the Product Account >Update Item Error

Additional Information:

For this integration we will need to make sure the protect flags are working as expected:

Protect Quantity (Stop all quantity updates) - Applicable for already created offers. If the offer is not created this flag is ignored. If Protect Quantity = Yes and Update Quantity = Pending - We skip the product If Protect Quantity = Yes and Update Price= Pending - We pick the product only for price update and do NOT include the quantity in the payload If Protect Quantity = Yes and List/Update the Whole Item = Pending - We pick the product for full update but do NOT include the quantity in the payload

Protect Price (Stop all price updates) -Applicable for already created offers. If the offer is not created this flag is ignored. If Protect Price = Yes and Update Quantity = Pending -We pick the product only for stock update and do NOT include the prices in the payload If Protect Price = Yes and Update Price= Pending - We skip the product If Protect Price = Yes and List/Update the Whole Item = Pending - We pick the product for full update but do NOT include the prices in the payload

Protect the whole item - (Stop all product updates apart from Quantity) -Applicable for already created offers. If the offer is not created this flag is ignored. If Protect the whole item = Yes and Update Quantity = Pending -We send the quantity only If Protect the whole item = Yes and Update Price= Pending - We skip the product If Protect the whole item = Yes and List/Update the Whole Item = Pending - We skip the product

Closed -will stop all the updates to the MPs apart from the end item (send 0 stock update). This flag applies for all products the ones which are created and all new products.
