Export Attribute Mapping

Before you can export products from UnoPim to Shopify, you need to tell the connector which UnoPim attribute maps to which Shopify product field. This is called attribute mapping — and you only need to set it up once.


How to Access Export Mappings

Click the Shopify icon in the left sidebar of your UnoPim dashboard, then click on the Export Mappings tab.

Export Mappings Tab

On this screen, the left side lists all available Shopify product fields. For each field, use the dropdown on the right to select the matching UnoPim attribute.


Available Field Mappings

Here's a breakdown of every Shopify field you can map, what it does, and when you'd use it:

Shopify FieldField CodeWhat it does

Field Mapping Example


Using Fixed Values

Sometimes you don't want a field to pull from a UnoPim attribute — you just want every exported product to have the same value for that field. That's what the Fixed Value option is for.

Example: You want all exported products to have a quantity of 100 in Shopify, regardless of what's stored in UnoPim.

Here's how to do it:

  1. Find the Quantity field in the mapping list.
  2. Deselect the UnoPim attribute from the dropdown — the Fixed Value input will become editable once the attribute is cleared.
  3. Type 100 in the Fixed Value field.
  4. Save your mapping.

From now on, every product exported to Shopify will have its quantity set to 100 — no matter what value exists in UnoPim.

Fixed Value Example

Tip: Fixed values are useful for fields like Taxable, Inventory Tracked, or Status where you want a consistent default across your entire catalog.
