Rue du Commerce feed for Shopify

Rue du Commerce runs on Mirakl, which splits the catalogue in two: the products file with your content and the offers file with your price, quantity, discount window and lead time. Products have to import first: an offer whose EAN matches nothing in the catalogue fails with “The product does not exist”.

The transport is a pull, not a push: you host each file on its own URL, the merchant service activates the connector, and from then on Mirakl fetches both files every hour and updates the catalogue whenever they change. Feedflock builds both files from the same product selection, so the pair always matches.

Rue du Commerce's own marketplace guidebook names the mandatory set for a product file: Category, SKU, EAN code, Title, Description, Brand and Picture URL. Feedflock's template maps all seven from the start: SKU from the variant, EAN from the barcode, brand from the vendor.

Everything beyond the seven depends on the category: the account's generated Excel template (My Inventory → Import by file) carries the per-category attribute set, up to 100 categories per file, and the mapping wizard under My Account adapts your file's layout to their framework. Each import produces an integration report. Read it on the first run and reconcile.

The guidebook publishes the refusal grounds, which is rare enough to be worth reading. Content is French only. The brand is mandatory, must come from Rue du Commerce's own brand list (the merchant service creates a missing one on request) and must not appear in the title, because it is added automatically.

The description has to be genuinely long and detailed; “the long description is empty or provides very little information” is a refusal ground. Images must be good quality and match the product: no blurred or too-small photos, no logos, no warranty or delivery text baked into the picture.

The crossed-out price is the guidebook's own example: fill column F (price) with the regular price and column N (discount-price) with the sale price, always the lower of the two. Discount start and end dates can bound the promotion; left empty, it runs until you change it.

quantity is the stock count, and a sold-out variant belongs in the file with an explicit 0: the import runs in NORMAL mode, which updates the rows it finds and never deletes an absent one, so a dropped row would keep its last quantity live. The offer's condition (state) is mandatory when creating an offer. Read the valid codes from your account's dropdown.
