This procedure explains how to use BeezUP to publish your products on the Sprinter and Sport Zone marketplaces.
CONTENTS
1. Prerequisites to know before integrating the Sprinter marketplace
a. Frequency & Update Modes
The product publication period is every 24 hours, that of offers depends on your subscription: dynamic (up to every 5 minutes), every hour or every 2 hours.
Note that they can also be launched manually from the "Publications" page of the marketplace.
Offers publications use "update" mode ('normal' on Mirakl side): publications only send offers matching these criteria:
modified offers since last successful publication
last publication failed offers
deactivated (or removed or filtered) offers since last publication : are sent with quantity=0
✅ Note : if your offers are all exactly similar to last successful publication, next publication will be skipped.
b. Mandatory EANs
Sprinter only accepts products with an EAN.
c. Sales Channel Management
The Sprinter marketplace also allows you to sell on its Portuguese version called Sport Zone.
In practice, there are three possibilities:
Your product and offer publications will be published by default on the Sprinter marketplace.
You can decide to distribute your catalogue in both countries. To do this, you must also complete the fields prefixed with 'PT - ' and the fields containing [channel=PT]. This will allow you to distribute your products and offers on the Sprinter and Sport Zone websites via the "Sprinter ESP API" network.
You can decide to sell your products only on Sport Zone via the specific "Sprinter Sport Zone PRT API" channel, available only to Portuguese Beezup stores.
2. Integration Procedure
✔️ If you do not have an account, contact the Sprinter sales team.
✔️ In BeezUP, add "Sprinter ESP API" in the "Channels" tab.
✔️ Categorize the categories you wish to transmit.
✔️ Map the "Sprinter ESP API" to transmit, at a minimum, all mandatory fields.
⏩For more information on each field, you can click on the "i" info to get explanations and/or visit our dedicated portal here.
✔️ Go to API settings tab and enter your API access:
- Shop ID: which you will find in the "Dashboard" tab of your seller account on the Mirakl platform, opposite "Identifier"
- API Key: which you will find by clicking on your Profile at the top right, then "API Key".
✔️ After activating (switch to ON) the Sprinter API, within a maximum of 2 hours - if everything is OK - publications should begin. To verify that submissions are being made correctly to Sprinter, you can consult the "Latest Publications" tab, which will give you all the details necessary for any possible changes to your feed and/or mapping.
✅ The most important thing, if your products have never been created in Sprinter, is to make sure that the "product" feeds are OK; these are what allow product creation.
Once "OK," ask Sprinter to launch product creation if they are not automatically created.
Once created, your offer feeds will then be "OK" (and no longer "The product does not exist"), which means that your products are now online and therefore purchasable! 🎉
✔️ From your first sales, these will appear - in BeezUP - in the "Orders" tab and possibly on your PrestaShop / WooCommerce back office or other, if your module is configured for it.
3. Special case of products with variations
If your products have variations such as sizes and/or colors, make sure your incoming feed adheres to the specifications indicated here.
If your incoming feed adheres to this structure, you must:
Filter the "parent" products; only the "child" products should be transmitted to Sprinter. You can do this via the "Filtering - Stock" field and, of course, add the corresponding filter ("Product Exclusion" tab).
Map the "Variant Group Code" field (variant_group_code) to your "Parent ID" field, or any other field that contains a value common to all products in the same family.
Map the fields corresponding to the possible variation axes. To discover the axes authorized by Sprinter, you can filter on the "Variation Axis" field in our tool.
4. Attribute Matching
Very often, in your product publication report, you will see an incorrect list of attribute codes. These codes can unfortunately be difficult to interpret. To help you understand how they correspond to the attributes of the mapping page, we've created a portal: click here to explore it.
We hope this page will help you better understand your error reports and thus enable you to take action on your publications as quickly as possible.
Happy sales on Sprinter!
