Badges, Metadata and Tags Data Transfer Profile
Added a Data Transfer Framework profile for product badges, metadata and tags, so these can be imported and exported in bulk.
This includes:
A Data Transfer Framework profile covering product badges, metadata and tags
Bulk import to apply values across many products at once
Bulk export to review what is currently set, or to edit in a spreadsheet and load back
How it benefits the Merchant
Badges, metadata and tags were previously set one product at a time, which made them impractical to use across a large catalogue. You can now apply a sale badge to a whole range, tag a season's products for a campaign, or load the metadata a shopping feed needs, in a single import.
Potential FAQs
Q: Where do I find this?
A: Under System > Import and System > Export, by selecting the relevant profile.
Q: Can I export what is already set before I change anything?
A: Yes, and it is worth doing. Export first, keep the file, and you have a record of the previous values.
Q: What is product metadata used for?
A: Custom key and value pairs held against a product. They are not shown to customers, and are typically used by integrations and shopping feeds, for example a Google Category ID.
