Product creation: manually

You can create a product directly in Mirakl by entering all the required information manually.

This method is particularly useful when you only need to create a small number of products. For larger catalogues, using a template or the import assistant may be more practical.

Before you start: prepare the official product information, identifiers, images and specifications. See Creating a perfect product sheet for the cataloguing requirements.

1️⃣ Open manual product creation

In Mirakl, go to:

Price and stock > Offers > Add an offer > Create a product.

You can also open Create a product directly.

2️⃣ Select the category

Select the category that corresponds to the product you want to create. You can use the search field to find it more easily.

Important: choose the category that actually corresponds to the product. The selected category determines which fields and attributes you need to complete.

3️⃣ Complete the product information

Name

Use a clear and concise name with a maximum of 100 characters.

General structure: BRAND + MODEL + PRODUCT TYPE + MAIN FEATURES

Description

Describe the product, its main features and technical specifications using official manufacturer information.

Enter the description in HTML according to the requirements in Creating a perfect product sheet.

Do you want to add enriched content?
If you need images, comparisons or multimedia content within the description, do not add it as a standard HTML description. Follow How to add enriched content (A+) to a product page.

Brand

Select the exact product brand. If it is not available, request its creation and provide the exact brand name together with its official website or product catalogue.

Video

The standard product video field accepts a short video hosted on YouTube.

Please note: this standard field only accepts YouTube. A+ content follows a separate process and may include YouTube or Vimeo videos under the conditions described in the A+ guide.

The main image must show the product on its own against a white background, without added watermarks, frames or logos.

MPN: the original manufacturer reference for the product.
Release date: complete this field if the product has not yet been released. Use YYYY-MM-DD.
UPC, JAN or ISBN: may be used when applicable. Prioritise EAN when available.

Category-specific fields

Depending on the selected category, additional fields may appear, such as screen size, operating system or RAM. Complete only the fields that apply to the product.

If the same product is available in different colours or configurations, you can group these variants on the same product page.

Open Select variant attributes.
Select the attribute that differentiates the variants.
Select Add a variant.
Complete the product information for each variant.

Customers will then be able to view and select the available variants from the same product page.
