Many marketplaces require a structured CSV format where product data is represented using a Parent-Child model. The connector automatically builds this structure for you.

Key features and benefits:

• Automatic merging of Product + Variant data
• Optional Parent row generation
• Category, Product, and Variant fields combined in a single CSV
• Customizable mapping with support for formulas
• Image export with multiple image cuts, such as TH, THM, IMD, and ORG
• Ready-to-import CSV for marketplaces requiring multi-variation items
• Clean and consistent data controlled directly from your PIM

Best practices

For best results, use a consistent product catalog structure with well-organized variant data, unique SKU identifiers, structured variant attributes, a clear category tree, and IMD or ORG image cuts when exporting images.
