Product Variable Mapping

In this step, you will be given the tools to set your production information, such as printer or material, for a Control product as it relates to an Ecommerce product. This will only set variable data for a parent line.

Available Merge Fields from Ecommerce Products

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

Merge FieldDescription
{{productname}}The Ecommerce product’s Product Name.
{{quantity}}The quantity of items in your Ecommerce order.
For the shipping item, it will always be 1.
{{description}}The Ecommerce product’s short description.
For the shipping item, the description will include the shipping method and the ship to address.
{{sku}}The Ecommerce product’s SKU or Part #.
{{width}}The Ecommerce product’s width.
{{height}}The Ecommerce product’s height.
{{length}}The Ecommerce product’s length.

To identify the name of your Control variable, please see your Control version’s relevant Identity Variable Name wiki.

Let's Get Started.

    2. Select a product to open it.
  2. Navigate to Control Integration on the Product Details Tab:
