Understanding the Field Mapping Engine

Learn how our engine maps product properties, names, SKU codes, prices, descriptions, and barcode values from your store into the marketplace.

Last updated: September 16, 2026

To maintain flawless catalog synchronization, our platform utilizes a high-performance Field Mapping Engine. This engine connects the specific product properties of your local e-commerce platform (like Shopify, WooCommerce, or Lightspeed) to the standard database schemas of the marketplace. This ensures that names, SKU codes, prices, descriptions, and barcode values align perfectly.

When you link your store, the engine maps your core product properties automatically: Product Name maps to Title, SKU maps to SKU, Price maps to Base Price, Description maps to Description, and Barcode maps to EAN/UPC. This creates a clean mirror of your catalog instantly.

To check if your fields are mapping correctly, navigate to Settings > Integration Settings in your portal. The dashboard will display a visual summary of synced fields, indicating if any products are missing critical data (such as barcodes or weights) so you can fix them directly in your e-commerce platform.

Every field mapping transaction operates under a strict, Zero-Trust B Bola verification system. Field alignments and catalog properties are securely isolated to your vendor profile, preventing unauthorized access.

How to Work with the Mapping Engine

Our mapping engine works entirely in the background, meaning you do not need to write code or customize settings. It automatically identifies standard product fields from your connected store and maps them to the correct marketplace fields. You can easily view mapped values and ensure data health right from your portal dashboard.

EAN / UPC Barcode Requirement: To prevent listing duplication and ensure full compliance with EU regulations, make sure every product in your connected store has a valid EAN or UPC barcode filled out.
