Verify default field mappings

The most important attributes you need to map in order to be able to sync with Shopify are Title and SKU. They are required and must be mapped or filled out.

Some of the other fields in your Shopify store require specific formatting to ensure a proper sync with Catsy. Use the following table as a formatting guide:

Field	Description	Format / Additional Information
Handle	Handles are unique names for each product. Handles are used in the URL for each product.	Handles can contain letters, dashes, and numbers, but no spaces, accents, or other characters, including periods. If the field is not mapped, the value in the store is created based on the value in the Title column.
Body (HTML)	The description of the product in HTML format.	Must be in HTML format. Catsy automatically converts Rich Text fields to HTML format when mapped in a Shopify channel.
Vendor	The name of the vendor for your product.	Values must be at least two characters long. If the field is not mapped, the value in the store is the name of the store as you entered it when you created your Shopify account.
Title	The name/title of your product in Shopify	The name for your product that you want to display to your customers. Do not use HTML characters - titles are meant to be Strings, not HTML
SEO Title	The SEO Title is found on a product's details page under the Search engine listing preview header in the Page title field.	The SEO Title is alphanumeric and can include up to 70 characters. If you leave this column blank when you import a product, then the value in the Title column is entered into the Page title field on the product's details page.
SEO Description	The SEO description is found on the product's details page under the Search engine listing preview header in the Description.	The SEO description is alphanumeric and can include up to 320 characters. If you leave this column blank when you import a product, then the value in the Body (HTML) column is entered into the Description field on the product's details page.
Default Image	The URL for the main product image	Map to the main image of the parent or the standalone product
Variant Image	The URL for images of variants.	Map to the main image of every variant
Status	Indicates whether a product is available to your customers.	Valid values are: active: the product is active and ready to be sold draft: the product is a draft and needs to be completed archived: the product is archived and no longer available to sell
Image Alt Text (String)	The alt text of the image - the text that describes this media. Improves accessibility for people who can't see images on web pages, including users who use screen readers or have low-bandwidth connections.	Map to Constant description to get the value of the Description attribute of your image
