Bulk map attributes for Amazon

Learn how to bulk map Amazon category attributes across multiple categories at once in your Amazon channel.

In this article, we explain how to use the Bulk map attributes feature to update a category attribute across multiple categories at once for your Amazon channel.

The bulk mapping feature is currently only available for Amazon channels.

Before you start

Good to know

  • Bulk mapping only works for attributes that exist in multiple categories.

  • You can apply one value type at a time to one attribute.

  • List attributes and nested attributes (such as tables) are not supported.

  • Auto-map fields and Bulk map attributes are separate features

    • Auto-mapping uses AI and references similar setups to suggest mappings for Shared attributes and all attributes in a specific category.

    • Bulk mapping is designed to update a specific attribute across different categories at once.

  • Some attributes may be too complex to bulk map. Please map these individually.

If you want help with suggested mappings first, see Auto-map fields for marketplaces/APIs.

1

Open Bulk map attributes

  1. In [your Amazon channel], go to the Build step.

  2. Open the Attributes per category tab.

  3. Click Bulk map attributes.

2

Select an attribute to update

  1. Click the Amazon attribute dropdown to see a compiled list of all category-specific attributes in your Amazon channel.

The list helps you judge impact before you apply changes:

  • Found in [x] categories: Shows how many categories include the attribute.

  • [x] / [x] mapped: Shows how many categories already have a value mapped to the attribute.

  • Mandatory in [x] categories: Indicates whether the attribute is mandatory for a category.

  1. Click the attribute you want to update across categories.

Amazon attributes can work differently across categories. We only hide an attribute if bulk mapping is not possible in any category. If bulk mapping works in at least one category, you can still select it.

3

Select an action and value to apply

Select what action you want to perform for the attribute:

I want to bulk map the attribute to a value (Map to value)

  1. Select Map to value.

  2. Click the - dropdown to select how you want to fill the attribute:

    1. To apply a dynamic value based on the item, select the relevant project field from your data ( Project fields > [relevant project field])

    2. To apply a fixed value across all items, select a supported value or fill in a custom value.

Tip: To save time, use Project fields when values differ per item, and a fixed value ( Supported values or Custom) when the same value applies everywhere. You can create and fill new project fields through rules.

I want to bulk remove values from the attribute (Remove current mapping)

  1. Select Remove current mapping and continue to the next step.

Review affected categories

You can select or clear categories if you only want to apply changes to specific categories.

  • (checkbox): includes or excludes the category from your proposed changes. By default, all categories are selected.

  • Categories: the categories containing the selected attribute

  • Channel attribute: the attribute to be updated.

  • Current mapping: what information/data the attribute is currently referencing (if any)

  • New mapping: shows the value (manual, project field, or supported value) you're about to apply.

The attribute name can differ slightly between categories.

Apply changes

  1. When you're happy, click Apply changes.

  2. A modal will appear detailing the attribute and the categories it was mapped/unmapped to.

Click View in Quality to see the impact of your changes.
