A new channel mapping page lets you manage and optimize where the product data sent to each sales channel (title, images, product category, color, and more) comes from. You can also preview the data that will be sent to each channel.
Title, images, product category, color, and other fields come with preconfigured sources for each channel field. Data is sent even if you do nothing.
You can change or combine sources for each field. Changes apply to all products in that channel. You can also override them per product.
Set the source for title, images, product category, color, and more. Changes apply to every product in that channel.
Specify multiple sources for one field. Example: use "product title - brand" to add the brand name to the title.
Change a default so it references a different field.
Override any field per product, per channel.
Update channel values for many products and variants at once.
Each field shows a coverage rate, so you can quickly find and fill in missing values.
| Action | Scope | Per the post |
|---|---|---|
| Change source / combine | Entire channel | Changes apply to every product on that channel. |
| Per-channel customization | One product × one channel | Override any field per-product-per-channel. |
| Bulk editing | Multiple selected products and variants | Update channel values for many products and variants at once. |
| Coverage rate | Visualized per field | Each field shows a coverage percentage. |
* The article does not describe the detailed precedence rules when an override conflicts with a channel-level setting, or what happens if you change channel settings after applying an override.
A new channel mapping page has been added to the admin. It covers mapping, combining fields, changing the source, product × channel overrides, bulk editing, coverage rates, and previews. The article points to the help documentation for details.
Eligible plans, the list of supported sales channels, the full list of supported fields, API/webhook behavior, and pricing.
Channel-specific values are built through mappings without modifying the product master, so you can adjust titles for a channel without mixing those tweaks into the product itself.
Changing the source applies toevery product in that channel. To be safe, preview what will be sent before making the change.
The article only describes admin features. If you want to control mappings externally, such as from a feed app or a PIM integration, you'll need to verify separately whether that's possible.
Because fill rates are shown as numbers for each field, you can quantitatively track progress on cleaning up product data. It's useful for finding missing values.
Product × channel overrides and bulk editing (at the variant level) are supported, but as overrides pile up, more items tend to stop reflecting channel-level mapping changes.A design that relies on channel-level rules and overrides only what's truly necessaryis easier to maintain (details on the precedence between overrides and channel settings are not stated).
