Once an item is created, you can start to work on its content. Upon creating the CE item, the description is copied over to the Name field. This is only done once. From here on it can be changed to the name you want to appear on the marketplaces.
ChannelEngine can handle numerous attributes, but there are three primary attributes that generally apply to all items: brand, size, and color. These are found as separate fields on the CE Item card. These fields can also be mapped to any of you BC item attributes. To do this, go to the CE Setup Card.
Additionally the extension can bring all BC attributes over to ChannelEngine. In order to do this, please check Standard BC Attributes.
The URL field can be used to provide a link to a website where this item can be found.
ChannelEngine has 2 fields to provide shipping information. Shipping Cost and Shipping Time. On the CE Setup card you can provide default values for these fields. When creating a CE item these values are used, but they can be altered afterwards.
Images can be provided as URLs, with one designated as the primary image.
The last section on the CE item card contains a list of all active (enabled) channels in your CE account, which are converted into additional boolean attributes. On the CE platform, these attributes can be used to define product listings. This mechanism provides a simple solution for controlling which items are published on each marketplace or sales channel. However, using this functionality is not mandatory, as product listings can also be created in many other ways.
