Using Optional Shopify Fields

Solid Commerce uses Product Attribute fields to populate optional fields on your Shopify listings.

If there are any Shopify fields you manage directly on Shopify, or are not interested in using, do not add them to Solid Commerce as Product Attributes.

 

To use an optional Shopify field:

1) Find the corresponding Solid Commerce Product Attribute Name in the table below.

2) Create the Product Attribute in your Solid Commerce account.

3) Populate the Product Attribute field with data formatted to Shopify's specifications.

We will automatically send the information when we create new listings.

 

To update an optional field on an active Shopify listing:

1) Revise the Product Attribute field in Solid Commerce.

2) Select the listings you want to update in your My Store Market List and click the Update Listings button.

 

Table of Optional Shopify Fields

When you create Product Attributes in your Solid Commerce account, copy the Solid Commerce Product Attribute Names from this table.

To use them in a spreadsheet, add product attribute: in front of the attribute name. Do not include a space in between product attribute: and the attribute name.

EXAMPLE: To add Shopify tags to your listing, create a Solid Commerce Product Attribute named: shopify tags. In your spreadsheet, use the column header: product attribute:shopify tags.
