The export
1. Variations
As of March 15, 2023 (subject to change), variations are possible in the following categories based on the criteria listed below:
- Multimedia: telephony (color, storage capacity, and sub-condition of reconditioning) and game consoles (on the sub-condition of reconditioning);
- Maison: furniture (color, storage capacity, and sub-condition of reconditioning), household linen (color), tableware (color), and decoration (color);
- Coming soon: Fashion category.
Since September 2023, the ability to create variations in a particular category is provided by the LeBonCoin API. Centric Shoppingfeed retrieves this model to format your export with or without variations depending on whether the category allows it. Thus, changes in the variation format per category provided by LeBonCoin are automatically updated in your Centric Shoppingfeed export.
2. Product Condition Management
This corresponds to the 'item_condition' attribute that you will find via the 'Autotag' tab on the platform.
The Leboncoin product conditions consist of a 'Condition - Sub-condition' pair, for example, 'New - Customer return' where 'New' represents the condition, and 'Customer return' represents the sub-condition. The marketplace specifies that within a family of variations, products must have the same condition but can have a different sub-condition.
Here are the guidelines from Leboncoin regarding the conditions to use for this attribute:
