Catalog and products
The Connector catalog comes from the central system. Products, combinations, images, prices, and inventory are read without turning a sales channel into the main source of this information.
Products and combinations
A product can have combinations such as color and size. Each combination is a sellable unit and can have its own SKU, barcode, price, and inventory.
When linking a listing, first choose the product and then the matching combination, if there is one.
How automatic matching works
Connector uses reliable identifiers:
- SKU: the unit's sales code;
- Barcode: the GTIN registered for the unit.
Automatic matching happens only when there is one clear match. If the code is missing, repeated, or conflicting, Connector asks you to review it.
A combination may be linked to more than one listing. Each listing, however, must point to no more than one product or combination in the catalog.
Changes in the central system
Valid changes made in the central system update the Connector catalog and related channels. A change made directly in a sales channel does not automatically replace information from the central system.
