Description

How to create a product description in the Shopify store automatically based on the data from your supplier feed.

Basic description settings

To pull a description from a specific node, simply indicate the node name from which you want Stockeo to extract a description. For example, if the text you want to use is included in the <description> node, enter its name in the Description field of your automation as follows:

Stockeo: basic settings for the description field

The node data may contain HTML and CSS text formatting information. The description will be formatted according to these.

Create a description by splicing information from several nodes

It may be that the supplier feed contains a description, but you also want to include additional product information from other feed nodes.

Automatically created description for a product in the Shopify store

The example above illustrates the creation of automatic product descriptions in Shopify using XML as an example. Similarly, this works when the feed is a CSV or JSON file. In that case, use the column/field name instead of the node name between the curly brackets in the Liquid formula.
