Product Node Mapping

Please ensure that the nodemap settings are set correctly to identify products and variants and to differentiate if the record needs to be created/updated or deleted.

Configuring the datamaps

In every datamap is a row used to identify the product. In the ‘productUpdateCreate’-datamap this is the “sku”, in the ‘categoryUpdateCreate’-datamap this is the “slug”. The last row in the datamaps is always called ‘additionalInformation’. This row is ignored by WooCommerce but is necessary for the connector to work. In this row the csrecordid and the csrecordclass are stored.

 

If you export products with variants you need to configure the row called ‘variants’ in the ‘productUpdateCreate’-datamap, in which an array of the skus from the variants is stored. To connect the variants correctly to the product, you need to setup the sku for the variant in the ‘variants’ datamap.

Attributes

In the datamap you always configure attributes with the following key:

 

attributes|your-name

 

Every attribute gets configured as an array and needs a name, the position, the visibility, variation and its options. If ‘variation’ is set to ‘true’, then this attribute is used for variants.
The key ‘options’ always expects an array.

Media to upload

You can send only 1 image per variant but multiple media files per product. A category can also contain only 1 image. For variants and categories you need to set the key ‘image’ in the datamap.
All the files that you want to upload to WordPress for a product need to be sent with the key ‘images’ in the datamap.

Every media upload can contain the following keys:
