Attribute Mapping

Attribute Mapping ensures your products are placed in the correct categories when crosslisted to different marketplaces.

Navigate to: Listings → Mapping

Page Layout

The mapping page has three sections:

1. Source Categories — Categories from your source marketplace
2. Destination Categories — Categories on your target marketplace
3. Your Mappings — All active mappings (yours and FLUF defaults)

Attribute Field

You can map two types of attributes:

• Product Categories — Product type/category mapping
• Brands — Brand name mapping between platforms

---

Why Mapping Matters

Each marketplace has its own category system:

Depop uses different categories than eBay

Vinted has European fashion categories

Shopify uses custom product types

Attribute mapping tells FLUF how to translate categories between platforms.

How Mapping Works

Automatic Mapping

FLUF automatically maps common categories using AI:

Exact Match — Categories with identical names

AI Generated — Smart mapping based on category meaning

Confidence Score — How confident the AI is in the mapping

Manual Override

You can create custom mappings when:

The automatic mapping is incorrect

You want specific category placement

A category doesn't have an automatic mapping

---

Step 2: Select Destination

Choose Destination Channel (where you're crosslisting)

Step 3: Save

Gender-Aware Mapping

FLUF understands gender context:

Women's → Women's/Ladies categories

Men's → Men's/Gents categories

Kids → Children's/Youth categories

Unisex → Maps appropriately per platform

The mapping page shows gender badges to help you verify correct mapping.

Best Practices

Review AI mappings:

Check auto-generated mappings are accurate

Override if AI made mistakes

Map before bulk crosslisting:

Set up mappings for your main categories first

Prevents errors during bulk operations

Keep mappings updated:

Marketplaces occasionally change categories

Review mappings if errors start occurring
