Assigning/Mapping different Attribute Names to your products

Overview

In this guide, we will show you how to assign different variation attributes to your products.

If you choose to merge your Products & Listings in Expandly, this can at times, result in different attribute names becoming associated with products within Expandly, if these are set up differently channel-by-channel (For Example: You may carry out the initial import of a product from your website where the Variation Name is 'Color' but then on eBay, the Variation Name used is 'Colour').

This in some instances, can result in issues when you attempt to update areas your listings as the variation mismatches could cause errors to be returned from the sales channel.

To resolve this, you can map different variation attribute names at sales-channel level, which will allow the correct Variation Name to be passed to the sale-channel when updating, and will prevent the mismatch errors from being returned.
