Auto-map fields for marketplaces/APIs

The Auto-map fields feature helps you quickly map your product data to marketplace attributes in the Build step of your marketplace channel (API). This feature uses smart suggestions to automatically fill in empty attribute fields, saving time and reducing manual effort.

These suggestions are based on:

• The category and attributes you're currently mapping.

• Attributes you've previously mapped within the same project.

• AI suggestions based on the fields available in your project.

How auto-mapping works

Auto-map recognizes patterns and uses existing data to suggest fields to map for your attributes. It prioritizes fields you, or others with similar channel setups, previously mapped based on shared field names and types.

How the suggestion hierarchy works:

1. Your previous mappings: Auto-map first looks at fields you've mapped in other channels within the same project. For example, if you mapped item_color to color for one Amazon channel, it will suggest the same selecting the same field for that attribute.

2. Similar channel setups: If you haven't mapped a particular field before, auto-map suggests mappings based on how others with similar channel setups have mapped their attributes.

Example: Selling on Amazon (Germany → Netherlands)

If you've mapped the item_color field to the color attribute in an Amazon channel where the region is set to Germany, and you create a new Amazon channel with the region set to the Netherlands, Auto-map will use your German channel to suggest the same fields for your Dutch channel. This means your item_color field will automatically be suggested for your color attribute in the new Dutch Amazon channel, saving you from having to find and map it manually.

How to use mapping suggestions

1. In the Build step, click on the Attributes per category tab.

2. Click Auto-map fields. We’ll automatically fill empty attributes with suggested matching values if we have any.

3. Review the proposed suggestions carefully.

4. Click Save to save the suggested attributes.

Note: Auto-map suggestions won't override any attributes you've already mapped. It only fills in empty fields. Always review the suggestions before saving.

Clearing suggested fields

If you want to remove the auto-mapped suggestions, you have a couple of options:

• To clear all suggestions, click Clear all or refresh the page without saving.

• To clear individual attribute suggestions, click . next to the specific attribute field.
