A list of order lines and return details for use in analysis and recommendations
In line with our obligations under GDPR
Please omit personal data before sending to Mapp Fashion (unless by prior arrangement)
Mapp Fashion requires an ongoing feed of order lines, updated daily, with information about the products bought by all customers. The file should contain details of orders placed or returned since the previous extract.
In addition, we'll need a one-off historical extract of transactions up to the point at which the daily feed becomes available. This historical extract should go back at least 12 months, allowing us to train the recommendation system and perform analysis.
We only require product information from categories in scope relevant to Mapp Fashion.
The file name must include a timestamp in the YYYYmmDDHHMM format and be named consistently.
File formats
We require the file to be in CSV Format.
Data requirements
Each item should be able to be uniquely identified with just OrderId and EntryId. If multiple instances of the same item are purchased in an order, then they must have their own unique entry in that order.
Attributes
For a complete list of fields, please see the Attributes Reference.
FAQ
How should I handle returns since they happen days/weeks after the purchase
You should include all original data (same Entry ID, Order ID, etc.) but with the return date added.
Do you need to know about products purchased in-store?
Ideally, yes. We would like to receive all purchases, whether online or in-store, and we require that these be categorized using the Channel field in the transaction feed.
Do you need to know about products returned in-store?
Ideally, yes, however, not being able to provide this information is a common limitation.
Is it ok if there is an overlap between one day's file and the next?
Yes. Lines with the same OrderID/EntryID will be updated if they already exist.
What if an order is canceled after it is featured in a file before it is sent to the customer?
Only include entries for items that were sent.
What if an order was only partially sent to a customer?
As with canceled items, only include entries for items that were sent.
Should items not relevant to Mapp Fashion be included?
Items such as homeware, electricals, etc., that are irrelevant to Mapp Fashion don't need to be included.
Can historical transaction data be delivered in multiple files
Yes, we accept multiple files on request.
What about items such as gift wrap, premium shipping, and gift cards?
You should not include items that do not correspond to a wearable item received by the consumer.
