New version of Mergado

:coffee: After the Christmas break, welcome back to our regular Mergado news parties!

Over the :christmas_tree: Christmas we have been busy not only cleaning up the code after the old “Mergado 1” system (all projects are now running on “Mergado 2”), which will make it easier to develop new features for Mergado, but of course we have already prepared a batch of nifty new features for you.

Release date and time

Wednesday 29.1.2025 12:30

New formats

  • :apple: We have updated the Mergado XML specification to version 1.11.
    • New elements:
      ▪ AGE_GROUP
▪ CONDITION_DESCRIPTION
▪ DEPOT
  - NAME
  - STOCK_QUANTITY
▪ PATTERN
▪ VOUCHER
  - CODE
  - DESCRIPTION
    • Full PDF specification here.
  • :office_worker: For Kaufland Marketplace format, we now know the elements for GPSR: product_safety_contact.name, product_safety_contact.address, product_safety_contact.url, product_safety_contact.email_address, product_safety_contact.phone_number.
  • :star2: We have updated converters for many formats.

    • :small_orange_diamond: CSV formats integration Shoptet:

      • Element itemConditionDescription :arrow_right: is converted with Mergado XML meaning CONDITION_DESCRIPTION.
      • itemConditionGrade :arrow_right: CONDITION.
        • If Shoptet CSV format is used as output format, this element is only populated if it has the values used and refurbished.
      • The STOCK_QUANTITY element is (already) converted to the STOCK element. However, if there is an element with the meaning DEPOT | NAME, its value is put into the CSV element name as follows: stock:%DEPOT | NAME%.

        Example: stock:Warehouse Prague. The corresponding value from DEPOT | STOCK_QUANTITY is then written in the value of this element. And if there is a stock:%DEPOT | NAME% element with a value in the output, the value of the stock element is no longer filled in.
