Marketplace-specific requirements and exceptions
Setup
On ChannelEngine
This marketplace does not require the addition of any IDs or keys on ChannelEngine's Setup page. Because it uses the ChannelEngine Channel API, it connects to ChannelEngine instead of the other way around. You need to provide your contact person at the marketplace with the following credentials, so they can connect your account:
- Your account subdomain (i.e.: https://[youraccount].channelengine.net/api)
- The Channel API key, which can be found on the Setup page of the marketplace on ChannelEngine
- Your product feed from ChannelEngine (see below)
Categorization
Categorization on Colizey is straightforward, and all categories are listed in English.
Mappings
Content
ChannelEngine recommends mapping as many attributes as possible. The more you map, the greater the visibility of the product on the marketplace is. This, in turn, tends to lead to a higher conversion rate.
There are some category-specific attributes on Colizey. Therefore, depending on the category, you may need to map a different set of attributes.
All products (required)
- Age range - the age range of the product's buyer. The options are enfant (kid), adult (adult), and tout (all).
- Brand - the product's brand or manufacturer. E.g.: Adidas.
- Color - the product's main color. E.g.: framboise (raspberry), rouge (red).

Carrier

Pricing
Colizey requires the prices to be submitted in EUR. If you do not have pricing attributes in EUR, you need to set a currency conversion.
Listed products
Colizey does not provide feedback via the API. Therefore, if you require information regarding the status of a product, you must contact Colizey.
FAQs
Why are my shipments stuck as 'Not exported yet'?
Colizey uses ChannelEngine's Channel API, so ChannelEngine does not initiate the import and export of data to and from the marketplace. If your shipments are not exported and not visible in Colizey's back-end, something is wrong with the import of the shipment information. Please contact Colizey's customer service to investigate this. You can copy ChannelEngine's Support team in the email, if needed.
