Data modelling in the product and variants forms

 

  • Having unique items SKUs and items names. At the time of the synchronization of the catalog, keep in mind that the names and SKU code of the product or variants must be unique.
  • Products must have at least one category in order to be sent to BigCommerce.  
  • Products must have prices and weights. The value of these fields must be positive or zero. If these fields are empty or mapped with an empty value, BC will return an error during the synchronization. 
  • Variants must have configured the SKU field and at least one more custom field.
  • To generate an item in BigCommerce, the following fields are required:
    • Categories: category name
    • Products: 1) SKU, 2) name, 3) price
    • Variants: 1) Variant SKU and 2) any custom fields
  • To make full use of the multi storefront feature, clients must have a field of type “Attribute list” in their product and categories forms. Specific details are given in section “Manage Storefronts”. These fields will be updated by the connector and they will list the storefronts available in BC. Thus, clients could establish the channel relationship of an item in each storefront for each category and product.
