Products

If you are unable to find your custom variation field names, please make an API call to view the product properties available to import by following these steps:

1. In GoDataFeed, go to Products > Primary Source
2. Copy the Base URL using the details from the primary source settings into the browser and append it with “/admin/products.json”
   • Example URL: "https://storename.myshopify.com/admin/products.json"
3. The browser will prompt you to enter the API username/password
4. Open a JSON viewer in your web browser: https://www.jsoneditoronline.org 
5. Paste the products.json data into this page, under the “Text” tab
6. Select the “Viewer” tab to see this data organized
7. Navigate to products > 0 > options, and review each option to confirm the exact field name that should be used
8. Enter these property names as the field name in the GoDataFeed mapping settings (Products > Mapping)
9. Note: If the fields and values do not import, then we may need to escalate this to our technical team to enable our system to import them.

Metafields

If you are unable to find/confirm the metafield names for your import, please make an API call to view the metafield properties available to import by following these steps. Our system requires the "key" name of the metafield in order to import the values:

1. Find an example Product ID that contains the needed metafield
2. Copy the API URL into the browser and append it with /admin/products/ + the product ID + /metafields.json
   • For example, https://mystore.myshopify.com/admin/products/12345/metafields.json
3. The browser will prompt you to enter an API username/password
4. Open a JSON viewer in your web browser: https://www.jsoneditoronline.org 
5. Paste the metafields.json data into this page, under the "Text" tab
6. Select the “Viewer” tab to see this data organized
7. Navigate to JSON > metafields, and review each numbered option to confirm the exact field name that should be used. The field name is represented as the "key"
8. Enter this "key" as the field name in the GoDataFeed mapping settings (Products > Mapping)
9. Note: If the fields and values do not import, then we may need to escalate this to our technical team to enable our system to import them.
