Mapping Magento 2 Custom Product...

What Are Magento 2 Custom Product Attributes?

Magento 2 utilizes product attributes to define product characteristics within the custom_attributes tag. Each attribute has a unique code needed for mapping to fields in NetSuite. Identifying these codes is crucial for a successful integration.

Common Magento 2 Attribute Codes

Here are some commonly used attribute codes you would encounter in Magento 2:

Attribute Code
preferred_vendor
image
url_key
description
cost
small_image
options_container
short_description
is_hazardous_material
quantity_on_order
