Attribute Groups

Attribute groups enable merchants to collect various attributes together to make it easier to manage large volumes of information. Attribute groups are not required. Any attributes not specifically included in a group will appear in the Others attribute group.

Attribute Mapping

Before creating an item, you must map the basic attributes. These are used by Product Catalog to deliver a consistent and reliable experience across channels. They are frequently used by other systems as well, so proper mapping is essential to ensure other systems can read and use data from Product Catalog.

​

Map product attributes

Product Catalog uses terms like “SKU” to refer to a unique product identifier while some merchants use the terms “UPC” or “Part Number”. Each of the basic attributes must be mapped to exactly one attribute from the list of attributes. There are certain limitations on what can be mapped to these basic attributes.

​

Mapping product attributes

Select Settings in the left column, then select Attribute mapping.

Select the Map Product Attributes tab.

Use each dropdown to select the product attribute to map to a Product Catalog basic attribute. Detail for each are contained in the table below.

Click on the Save button.
