===== Add-On Import Mapping =====

In this step, you will be given the tools to map your Ecommerce Add-On, variable data, to your Control Products through variables or modifiers. If a variable in Control exists with the same name as the Ecommerce Add-On, the value from the import dictionary will be imported into that variable. If the variable exists in Control, but with a different name as the Ecommerce Add-On, an import mapping will need to be set up in Control for that product.

\\
NOTE: The Control Import Map is only available on a Base Product if using Derived Products. You can only map to a Control variable once so preplanning your mapping is key. You are also encouraged to map to similar data types, such as checkboxes to checkboxes OR text boxes to text boxes.

=== Fixed Import Variables ===

There are a few system-generated Ecommerce variables that are included when applicable.

^Variable Name^Description|
^Quantity|The quantity of items. \\ For the shipping item, it will always be 1.|
^Description|The item's description. \\ For the shipping item, the description will include the shipping method and the ship to address.|
^ProofImageLink|If there is artwork for the item in Ecommerce, the ProofImageLink contains the URL of proof image.|
^LowResImageLink|If there is artwork for the item in Ecommerce, the LowResImageLink contains the URL of low resolution image.|
^ThumbnailImageLink|If there is artwork for the item in Ecommerce, the ThumbnailImageLink contains the URL of thumbnail image.|
^ShippingMethod|For the shipping item, ShippingMethod is the name of the shipping method.|

=== Other Import Variables ===

Every Add-On from the Ecommerce order are included in Control’s Import Dictionary. To map to your Control data, you will use the name of the Add-On in Ecommerce with any non-alphanumeric characters and spaces removed.
