### Generate tokens in Shoptrader

* At **Add a new token**, create a new token for Channable.
  * For the name, give it a descriptive name (e.g. "Channable token").
  * Tick the **To read**, **To write**, and **To delete** checkboxes.
  * Click **Add token**.<br>

* This generates a token. Make note of it, as you'll need it in the next step.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create your Shoptrader connection

* In Channable, open the project where you want to import your product data.
* Go to **Setup**, click **+ Set up import**, and select **Shoptrader**.
* Fill in the required information:
  * For **Label**, give your import channel a descriptive name (e.g. "Shoptrader")
  * For **Shop URL**, provide your Shoptrader webshop URL.
  * For **Token**, fill in the token generated in the previous step.
  * Click **Connect with Shoptrader**. This takes you to your import settings.
* Configure import settings:
  * For **Name**, give your Shoptrader import a descriptive name (e.g. "Shoptrader")
  * For **Choose language**, select the language your product data is in.
* Click **Start import**. You'll be redirected to the **Edit Mapping** page to map your product information.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Map your products

This page displays your import fields (fields retrieved from your Shoptrader 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 to 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:\
  Ensure 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.

{% hint style="info" %}
Tip: Check the **Status** column in **Setup** to check your import progress. Your product data is fully imported when the Status is **Finished**.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 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.

You're good to go! Your items are ready to use to create and optimize Feeds, Marketplaces, Shopping Ads, and more in Channable.
