Field Mapping
Field mapping controls where Feedy gets the value for each feed attribute. For example, you can take the brand from a metafield instead of the Shopify vendor, or set every product’s condition to “new”.
Most stores don’t need to change anything. Auto (Default) works for standard Shopify products.
Open field mapping
Section titled “Open field mapping”- Click Feeds and open the feed.
- Open the Field Mapping card.
- Open a section: Basic Information, Product Identifiers, Categorization, Detailed Attributes or Shipping. The attributes you see depend on the feed’s platform.
- For each attribute, choose a source from the list.
- Click Save, then Regenerate the feed.
A badge shows how many attributes you’ve changed from Auto. Each row shows a preview of the value it produces for a sample product.

- Don’t include: leave the attribute out of the feed.
- Option 1/2/3: the product’s variant options, in the order they’re set up in Shopify. Feedy uses the first variant.
What takes priority
Section titled “What takes priority”For Google Shopping feeds, values you set on a product’s page in Feedy win over the field mapping. Field mapping then applies to everything else. See Editing a product.
