Marketplace-specific requirements and exceptions
Setup
On ChannelEngine
Private Sport Shop is a Mirakl-based marketplace, so you can connect it to ChannelEngine using a Mirakl Connect SSO account. For more information on this, check out the Mirakl-based channels: SSO authorization article.
Product selection
Create your product selection so that you can map the items' offer attributes in Mappings. However, ChannelEngine does not send your product content to Private Sport Shop. Instead, manage your content for Private Sport Shop on the Mirakl platform.
Categorization
It is not necessary to fill out the categorization in the Private Sport Shop plugin. Instead, manage your content for Private Sport Shop on the Mirakl platform.
Mappings
It is necessary only to map your product offer data so that ChannelEngine can export offers to Private Sport Shop.
Offer
Required
- Price - this is your desired selling price, excluding VAT. If you use pricing v2, this attribute is not mapped under Offer mappings. Instead, it is configured under Pricing, Price rules.
- EAN - the product's 13-digit EAN.
Optional
Attributes such as Leadtime to shipment (the number of days before you ship the item), Logistic class (optional shipping class), Offer state (the condition of the item), and Min. qty alert (notifies you if the stock drops below the number set) are common for Mirakl mappings.
The following offer attributes are common to some Mirakl-based marketplaces:
- ECO #1-5 amount - the amount due for the eco-contribution related to the product. E.g.: 2.50.
- ECO #1-5 EPR category code - the extended producer responsibility (EPR) code that applies to the product. For a list of category codes, check out the article Providing data to comply with circular economy regulations in Mirakl's help center (note that you need to be logged in to Mirakl to access this page). E.g.: DE-WEEE, FR-DEA, etc.
- ECO #1-5 producer ID - your producer ID, received upon registering with a packaging register, such as Germany's LUCID. The maximum number of characters is 255.
- Category-specific ECO attributes - depending on your sales country, you might be required to map additional ECO attributes for products in specific categories. Review which ECO attributes to map within each category.
If pricing v2 is activated in your environment, you will see the following offer attributes, which are common to all Mirakl-based marketplaces:
- Allow promotion below min price - set it to ‘true’ to allow the promotion price to drop below your product's minimum price. To learn more, check out the article ChannelEngine: promotions.
- Strike price - the regular selling price. Use it in combination with the Price attribute to set up a discount/strikethrough pricing. To learn more, check out the 'Working with discounts' section of this article.
- Additionally, the Fee groups attribute appears in Mappings, Fee group mappings, if pricing v2 is activated. Map the marketplace fee group ID of the product there.
The following offer attributes are also common to all Mirakl-based marketplaces:
- Discount start date - the date from which the product's sale price is valid, if applicable. Input the date as a fixed value. The date format is YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS ZZ. All dates follow ISO month-day formatting, and all times follow 24-hour formatting in the UTC timezone. E.g.: 2026-10-25 15:30:00 +01 will start your discount on 25 October 2026 at 3:30 PM, one hour ahead of UTC time.
- Discount end date - the date until which the product's sale price is valid, if applicable. Input the date as a fixed value. The date format is YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS ZZ. All dates follow ISO month-day formatting, and all times follow 24-hour formatting in the UTC timezone. E.g.: 2026-10-30 23:59:59 +01 will end your discount on 30 October 2026 at 11:59 PM and 59 seconds, one hour ahead of UTC time.
- Discount price - the product's sale price, if applicable. This attribute must have a lower value than the Price attribute. This attribute only applies if you use pricing v1.
- Discount quantity threshold - the minimum quantity required for the discount rate to be available.
- Leadtime to shipment - the number of days before you ship the product. You can create your own unique rules, if applicable. For more information on this, check out the article Lead time to ship in Mirakl's help center.
- Minimum quantity alert - map this attribute to receive a notification from Mirakl if your stock drops below the threshold defined.
- Offer state - the product's condition. Find your option from the dropdown menu by selecting the fixed value to apply to all.
- Product tax code - the taxation code applicable to the product.
- Logistic class - your optional shipping class. Make sure to map the shipping class using the marketplace’s codes and not with the labels that are visible in the partner portal's user interface. These codes vary per marketplace. If this marketplace makes use of logistic class codes, they can be found below.

Listed products
If you have problems with products not appearing on Mirakl-based marketplaces – especially if you are trying to create products, check the Listed products page for more information. Use the Channel status filter or the Validation and feedback tab to view all known errors for specific products.
If you see either of the below statuses, refer to the article ChannelEngine: why is my product listed as 'Product not found' in the inventory report?:
- Product not found in inventory report
- Product not in offer file
Products that ChannelEngine has failed to export are shown as Invalid, e.g.: products with an empty GTIN or that do not yet exist on the marketplace.
Alternatively, download the error report generated by Mirakl. To do so:
- Log onto the Mirakl platform and go to Catalog, Product imports.
- Identify the latest report and click the See details button.
- Download the CSV file Non-integrated products report.
Additional information

FAQs
How often does each task run on Mirakl-based marketplaces?
By default, Mirakl-based marketplaces follow the schedule below:
| Task | Frequency |
|---|---|
| Export product data to marketplace | every 60 minutes |
| Export product offers to marketplace | every 15 minutes |
| Import product offers from marketplace | every 15 minutes |
| Import orders from marketplace | every 15 minutes |

Why am I not receiving feedback on my offer exports?
Chances are that you are receiving the feedback. However, different types of error reports can take a couple of hours or several days to be generated. Offer error reports are mostly generated automatically and are imported quickly.
Note that the previous feedback report is not removed from ChannelEngine until both the latest transformation and the conventional reports have been fully processed by ChannelEngine. If there are no errors to report, no new reports are generated.
