How merged records are generated
This section explains in detail how the connector builds the merged output when Products and Variants are combined. The Parent-Child logic is essential for marketplaces that work with product variations such as size, color, material, or style.
How merged records are generated:
When both Products and Variants tables are active, the connector:
- Reads the Products table
- Finds all Variants linked to each product
- Creates one output row per variant
- Combines:
- Category-level fields (if categories are merged)
- Product-level fields
- Variant-level fields
This produces a flat CSV where each row fully describes a specific variant but also contains all necessary product information.
