Channel-specific requirements and exceptions

Setup

On ChannelEngine

Worten is a Mirakl-based channel, 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.

As Worten does not support repricing, you can leave the Mirakl seller name field empty.

Worten uses the following sales channels, which need to be activated by your account manager at Worten before they are visible on ChannelEngine:

• Worten Online Espanha (Spain)
• Worten Online Portugal

For more information on sales channels, check out the article Mirakl-based channels: setting up sales channels.

Invoice uploads

To configure your invoice settings, click Advanced settings. You can then click the dropdown menu Enable invoice uploading, which contains the following options:

• ChannelEngine invoices - when ChannelEngine receives a shipment, it automatically generates an invoice and attaches it to the shipment before exporting it.
• Merchant invoices (optional) - when ChannelEngine receives a shipment, it exports it – even if there is no invoice attached to it.
• Merchant invoices (required) - when ChannelEngine receives a shipment, it only exports it if an invoice is attached to it. If not, you receive a notification.
• None - when ChannelEngine receives a shipment, it takes no action other than notifying you that no invoice is present.

If you select one of the Merchant invoices options, make sure to enable the invoice upload to ChannelEngine via the Merchant API. For that, call the POST /v2/orders/{merchantOrderNo}/invoice endpoint. Note that only invoices in PDF are supported.

Categorization

The categorization on Worten is straightforward, and all categories are listed in English and Portuguese.

Note that if you select Unknown as the carrier, you still need to provide a working tracking code.

Pricing

Worten 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

If you have problems with products not appearing on Mirakl-based channels – especially if you are trying to create products –, check the Listed products section for more information.

You can either filter on Channel status (Invalid for all products that ChannelEngine has not exported, such as products with an empty EAN or products that currently do not exist on the channel) or use the Validation and feedback tab to see all known errors for specific products.

Worten does not provide extensive feedback on your products. If you experience issues while creating products or updating existing ones, reach out to Worten’s seller support.
