Heureka XML Feed

This article focuses on a feature that allows you to move any product across our category tree. This option is intended for partners who are not comfortable with the automatic classification of products according to Heureka categories. In the article you will learn more about how Heureka category pairing works and then instructions on how to correctly reorder products.

How does the Heureka category vs. MALL category pairing work?

Connecting via Heureka feed offers the possibility of quick implementation. The logic behind the linking is that the Heureka category tree is paired to our tree. The trees are not naturally identical, our menu contains multiple branching sections. Therefore, it may happen that a product may not be appropriately categorized.

We have therefore developed a function for adjusting the classification, which allows you to move products freely.
ATTENTION:
Moving is not possible for variant products, all parameters pulled from your Heureka feed will be deleted and the variants will stop working.
It is not possible to use this function to add parameters to products, it is necessary to create parameters already in the feed.

In the context of product relocation, it is very important to make sure that the product is appropriately categorised with respect to our category arrangement.

The transfer of products can only be done after the products have been successfully uploaded to our system. Uploaded products can be found in the product overview.
If you move products before they are registered with us, the system will evaluate this as an error and the products will not be uploaded.

How to reassign products?

Feature "Product Management" can be found in the partner portal in the Heureka feed section.

Example of the "Product Management" function in the partner portal

The transfer of products is performed using a CSV (UTF-8 type) file with the exact format. The completely filled CSV (UTF-8 type) file is inserted into the portal using the blue button "plus" and then upload it to the system by clicking on the "Upload„.

The file is uploaded to the system and you will see a list of products to reassign below.
For each product in the list, you will find an icon with a basket, which you can use to delete individual products. This function can also be done in bulk by marking the selected products on the right.

How to fill in the CSV file?

Our categories have different sorting conditions. You can find the specific parameter rules for each category in the partner portal here.

Example of searching for class conditions

There are 3 types of sorting conditions:

categories without mandatory parameter (just fill in your product ID and category ID)
category with one mandatory parameter (all columns, 1 row are required)
category with 2 mandatory parameters (all columns, 2 rows are required)
