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 Field | Description |
---|---|
{{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.
