Precedence rules

When both the Product and Variant tables send data to the same output column, the connector applies strict priority rules to avoid ambiguity.

 

Rule 1: Variant fields override Product fields

 

If a column is mapped at both levels:

  • Variant value → takes precedence
  • Product value → used only if Variant value is empty
 

Rule 2: Empty variant values fall back to product values

 

If a variant contains:

  • Empty string ("")
  • Null
  • Empty numeric value

…then the connector uses the product-level value.

 

Rule 3: Parent rows use only Product fields

 

When “Add parents to variants” is enabled, the extra Parent row has:

  • All product fields
  • No variant fields
 

Rule 4: Formulas follow the same precedence

 

If a formula is used at variant level, it overrides product-level formulas.
