You can download Bloomingdale’s product data category templates and recreate them in StoreAutomator. The creation of product data templates is critical for the first push of product information and therefore needs to contain valid values on the templates or your products will not be listed properly on this channel.
Here are the steps you need to follow:
1- Login to your Bloomingdale’s account and go to “Price and Stock>File Imports” and click the “Excel Template”.
2- In the “Select the requirement level of attribute” box, select: “All (required, recommended, optional) and under “Select the categories” find or select the category to generate the template: Air and Deep Fryers, in the example below.
3- Select the language and click “Generate template”.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you accidentally select multiple categories and click generate template, you will get a merged template which will lead you to product data errors. Therefore, please only select and download one category at a time.
4- Download the template.
5- Go to “Settings>Templates” in StoreAutomator and create a Bloomingdale’s template. Select “Category” as the “Specific Feed Type”, provide a name and click the “+Create”.
6- Click “Edit” to the template and click the “Mirakl Category Template Source File” tab. Then, upload the downloaded Bloomingdale’s template into StoreAutomator.
7- Fill in all the required fields first followed by other fields, if needed. You can see the valid values by clicking “show possible options” in the field mapping.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- The downloaded excel template shows you whether a field is required, recommended or optional.
- You can also check the valid values for all fields from the “Reference Data” tab in the same downloaded template.
8- After adding and mapping all fields, save and close the template.
