Mapping Fields for Spreadsheet Import
Ablestar Bulk Product Editor allows you to import spreadsheets to update product data, and sometimes your column headers might be named differently than the Shopify field name.
During your import, you will have to map the spreadsheet columns and tell the system how to match the data.
After you have formatted your spreadsheet with the appropriate first-column identifiers, and clicked to upload, you will be prompted to map any unrecognized column headers.
Since my 'Spreadsheet column' were named differently, I had to tell the system to use the 'SKU' field:
If your spreadsheet data will always use the same column naming conventions, the system will learn your preferences and remember your mapping choices in future uploads.
Once the fields are mapped, you can click to import, run edits or create products.
