Complete Attributes Matching

Match your products catalogue fields with the fields requested by the channel, based on fields definitions. If necessary, enter hard values, use functions and/or adapt the values by creating rules. For fields with valid values, select the suggested value or match with your products catalogue values.

Some fields are mandatory and must be completed. Other fields are optional but Fruugo recommends you to fill them in to improve your products visibility.

General Tips for Fruugo:

• View the submission from an international customers perspective who would be looking to purchase, and supply all suitable information rather than the minimum requirements.
• Use Title case for all fields. Do not write in capitals or lower case.
• Always check grammar and spelling. If there is a mistake on a search field the product will not be found.
• Use the manufacturers/brands official product information as a base for your content where possible.

• "NormalPriceWithVAT": Indicate the standard price before promotion
