Modules > Rakuten France > Configure > Models
As stated in the preamble, “product data models” should be read to understand the usefulness of the models.
You will use the models to complete for a set of items the necessary data for Rakuten France.
The models will also be used if you have combinations to be sent as “variants” which is the product combination format in Rakuten France.
Your models will establish the relationship between your Prestashop data and what must receive the Rakuten France marketplace.
To familiarize yourself with the module and for your first export, fill in just the minimum, only the mandatory fields. You will later on fill the additional fields that will enrich your feed.
Once this configuration completed, you indicate in your profile the model you have just created.
Add a model:
You specify a Product Type, once the product type selected the list of fields specific to that product type will appear, below is an example for clothing:
Note that mandatory fields are marked with a red asterisk: *, the other fields are optional, you can fill these fields if you want to enrich your feed.
For each entry of the model you will always have three choices:
Prestashop Attribute
You will choose from the list a Prestashop product attribute, usually it is either the color or the size.
Prestashop Feature
You will fill in a Prestashop feature, one of the differences related to the feature is that it is applicable to the product, it is not possible to have a feature by combination.
Fixed Value
This is a value from a closed list provided by Rakuten France. The advantage is that if you do not have the value in your database, you can use a fixed value for all the products in this model.
When you select an attribute or feature, you will need to select the field in question, and you will see a new field appearing to the right:
Default Value:
If the feature is not specified or if the product feature is missing or empty, then the module will indicate the value entered. If you specify by default White, all products concerned by this model will be exported as White.
Each association that you will you do in your models Prestashop Attribute + Rakuten France Attribute, or Feature Prestashop + Rakuten France Attribute will result in the automatic creation of a mapping when you save your model.
Please go to the Mappings tab for more information about the subject.
