Additional fields

Metafields

Choose whether to import product custom fields with additional information.

• Enabled: Channable imports custom fields for the main product.
• Disabled: Channable does not import product-level metafields.

Metafields in your imports will be prefixed with meta_ .

Map your product data to project fields

After you run your import, you'll land on the Import mapping page. It shows the fields pulled from Lightspeed, such as price, description, and title.

In this step, you match those imported fields to Channable's standard project fields. Channable maps most fields automatically, but you should review and adjust them before importing.

If you specifically use Google categories in Lightspeed and want to import that data into Channable, contact our Technical Support team.

1. Compare and adjust mapping.

   • Review your Imported data fields against Channable's matched Project fields. If a field was matched incorrectly, click on the field to select a different field.
2. 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.
3. Exclude fields (optional).

   • To exclude a field from being included in your product data, click the checkbox in the Exclude from import column for that field.
4. Once you've finished mapping, click Save to start importing your Lightspeed product data.
