When creating the connector, a set of fields commonly used in Shopify Collections appears by default. Some are mandatory as they provide the minimum required information, while others are part of the basic data but are not strictly necessary to send.

Mandatory fields:

• reference: Collection reference, for internal control in Sales Layer.
• title: Name of the collection.

Basic fields:

• body_html: Collection description.

• image: Collection image. Internally, an array is sent with the status, ID, and image link.

• sort_order: Allows products to be ordered within a collection. For more details on the options, refer here.

• handle: URL identifier, used for SEO. It is the last part of a collection’s URL and can be found in the Search Engine Listing section of Shopify. If not provided, Shopify generates one by default.

• template_suffix: Allows customization of a collection’s theme.
  • If the field is enabled (default state), it will overwrite the value in Shopify with its value. However, it will set the theme to “default” when:
    • the field is not mapped,
    • the field has a value that does not exist in Shopify,
    • the field is mapped but empty.
  • If the field is disabled, the theme value will not be overwritten in Shopify.

• published_scope: Sets collection availability, value list type. For more information on configuration, consult the following article.

• collect_alt: Alternative text for the collection image. For more details on how to send this field, refer to Media-type fields and ALT attributes.

• seo_title: SEO title.
  • The connector maintains the metafields_global_title_tag field for backward compatibility, although its use is no longer recommended.
  • The recommended approach is to use seo_title.
  • Do not map both metafields_global_title_tag and seo_title at the same time.

• seo_description: SEO description.
  • The connector maintains the metafields_global_description_tag field for backward compatibility, although its use is no longer recommended. The recommended approach is to use seo_description.
  • Do not map both metafields_global_description_tag and seo_description at the same time.
