FeedOps is designed to facilitate the syncing and mapping of data for advertising and marketing channels. This guide outlines the essential steps for initial setup.
Initial sync
The initial sync begins once you've connected your store and created your account. This is a one-time process and can take anywhere from several minutes to 24 hours to complete. The duration depends on the number of SKUs in your store and the number of jobs in our queue. While the initial sync is in progress, feel free to proceed with the setup process and add channels as needed.
Auto-mapped fields
FeedOps auto-maps several fields for convenience, including:
- Color
- Brand
- GTIN
- MPN
- Shipping Weight
- Size
- Description
- Gender
- Quantity
- Price
- Sale Price
- RRP
- Item ID

Reviewing these mappings during setup is advised to ensure accuracy.
