Step 3: Map your products
This page displays your import fields (fields retrieved from your Shopware 5 webshop [e.g. price, description, title]), and corresponding project fields (Channable's standardized fields used to streamline channel setups).
Note: Our system will automatically detect and map most import fields our standardized fields, but it's important to review and adjust these before importing.
-
Compare and adjust mapping:
Review your Import fields against Channable's matched Project fields. If a field was matched incorrectly, click on the field to select a different field. -
Check and correct field types:
Check that the right field type is assigned to your project fields. If a field has the wrong type, click Edit next to the field, select the correct type in the dropdown, and click Save & Import. -
Exclude fields (optional):
To exclude a field from being included in your product data, click the checkbox in the Select column for that field and click Do not import selected fields.
Once you've finished mapping, click Save & Import to start importing your product data. Depending on how much data you're importing, this can take some time.
Tip: Check the Status column in Setup to check your import progress. Your product data is fully imported when the Status is Finished.
Step 4: Review your imported items
After your product data has finished importing:
- Go to the Items page to view your imported products.
- Click on an item to see detailed information.
