BigCommerce - Category Mapping
It is possible to synchronized and add products to categories via the BigCommerce Connector. The most simple category mapping is like:
Mapping to field | Output Kind | Description |
---|---|---|
Name (Required) | Field | The name displayed for the category. If the Name are use as key, the Name must be unique. If Category Id (SyncID) are used as key the Name must be unique with respect to the category's siblings. If the SyncID are mapped, the name will only be used as key if the SyncID is empty. |
SyncID | Field | To use Category Id as key, map a string Feature to SyncID. When the SyncID is mapped, the connector will use Category Id a key. To force the Name as key, set the setting parameter ‘BigCommerceCategoryKeyType’ to ‘Name’ and empty SyncID’s will be updated with Category Id’s. |
SyncMsg | Field | SyncMsg will be used for reporting errors back to categories in Perfion. |
SyncCollection | Field | If the SyncCollectionset has value different from “false”, the category will be synchronized. If the SyncCollectionset is “false” or empty, then the category will not be synchronized. If the SyncCollection is not mapped, all categories will be synchronized. |
