Attribute value transformers help ensure your product attributes match retailer expectations. By applying simple transformation rules, you can automatically convert attribute values, such as color, material, or size, into standardized formats that align with the merchant’s requirements. This improves data consistency, helps avoid common rejection reasons during proposal reviews, and increases the likelihood that your products will be approved and published without delay. For example, if a retailer expects “Color: Gray” and your catalog lists “grey” or “silver,” a transformer can automatically map those values to the correct format—without requiring you to change your original source data. The following examples show how transformations can help standardize values: You can define transformations for any attribute your retailer has mapped.
