Important: select Products only, not Products and offers. Once the catalogue has been validated by the Cataloguing team, you can import the offers associated with those products.

Go to Select categories.
Search for categories manually or browse the product families.
Select all the categories you need for the products you are going to import.
Select Generate template.
Download the file when the option becomes available on the same screen.

Please note: only select categories that match the products you are creating. Incorrect classification may require the file to be reviewed or corrected by the Cataloguing team.

4️⃣ Complete the template

When you open the template, select the appropriate category for each product in column A.

The cells automatically change colour according to the selected category:

Salmon: mandatory fields.
Grey: incompatible fields that should not be completed.
White: optional fields that you can complete when the information is available.

For guidance on titles, identifiers, descriptions, images, attributes and logistics data, see Creating a perfect product sheet.

Does any product include enriched A+ content?
Prepare the HTML and images in advance by following How to add enriched content (A+) to a product page. When submitting the file, tell the Cataloguing team which references contain this content.

5️⃣ Import the file

Save the template once all products are complete.
Return to Catalog > Import products.
Upload the file using the corresponding option.
Complete the import by following the instructions in Mirakl.

6️⃣ Review the import result

After importing the file, check its status in the import history.

Access it from Catalog in Mirakl or directly from Product imports.

From this section you can:

Check the status of each import.
Select View details for additional information.
Download the error report when the import contains rejected products or incorrect fields.

If you find errors: review the report, correct the indicated fields in the template and import the file again.
