One principle, many marketplaces

What this means for you

Mirakl in practice.

For you as a seller, this means the onboarding principle is similar across many platforms – product data, category mapping and integration follow a comparable pattern. Once you've mastered the process, you can open up further Mirakl marketplaces relatively quickly.

What this means for your marketplace strategy.

Many large sellers and retail chains don't run their marketplaces on in-house builds, but on Mirakl. For sellers, this means the application process, product data formats, category mapping and order handling follow a very similar pattern.

In practice this means a considerable efficiency gain. Once you've been through the process, you can open up further Mirakl marketplaces with much less effort – the product data is already in the right format.

The distinction between technology and audience remains important: the platform may be the same, but the target audience, the product environment and the price expectation differ considerably from one marketplace to another.

The onboarding process.

01
Application

Most Mirakl marketplaces vet sellers before admission.

02
Prepare product data

Provide category-specific attributes in full.

03
Map categories

The mapping determines findability and filters.

04
Choose an integration

Direct, via middleware or manually by file – depending on volume.

05
Test order

Check the order and shipping process before going live.

06
Keep an eye on metrics

Marketplaces judge delivery reliability and service quality strictly.

Common mistakes.

!

Taking Amazon data over unchanged. Attributes and categories differ – that leads to rejections.

!

Too many marketplaces at once. Better to set one up properly than five half-heartedly.

!

Underestimating service metrics. Mirakl marketplaces quickly deactivate sellers with poor scores.
