Import mapping

This page displays fields retrieved from your Afosto account (e.g. price, description, title). We match these fields to standardized fields to make it easier for you to set up multiple channels with the same product data.

• If a field has the wrong field type, click Edit next to the field, select the correct type in the dropdown, and click Save & Import.

Your Afosto import is now successfully set up! You can now use this product data to create and optimize Feeds, Marketplaces, Shopping Ads, and more in Channable.

Your Afosto connection may expire after using it for a while, resulting in a 'failed API' error message. To continue importing your product data, you'll need to refresh your connection.
