Your METRO FR GDSN connector is evolving. If today it was already possible to send your product data, you will now be able to enter your price data directly in Gaia.

If this connector is already activated in your catalog, you do not need to do anything, you can create your prices now for new listings.

Tips to remember:

  1. The publications concerned by this new process are only the creation of files (new references) for METRO. For the backlog, you do not have to create price reductions or reshare them.

  2. Always choose the PERMANENT sending mode to publish to this client.

  3. When you want to create a new price: Remember to put an end date on your current price and republish one last time to notify your customer.

If you wish to activate this connector in your catalog, you can directly request it from the sales representative in charge of your account (contact details on your Gaia homepage).

To avoid any errors, we recommend that you do not declare a “ready to sell” when responding to an AO for U.
