| UPC | From the field labelled Barcode (ISBN, UPC, GTIN, etc.) in Shopify. | UPC field in eBay |
| Brand | From the field labelled Vendor in Shopify. | Brand item Specific in eBay |
Please Note:
This is important information to note when creating Product Groups in eBay LINK. Product Groups require the SKU we have in eBay LINK. Not the sku you may have used on Shopify.
The actual field in Shopify called SKU is not a mandatory field nor a required field, so it is not a reliable field in Shopify. Our App must have a SKU as part of the eBay listing requirement and because we cannot rely on Shopify providing that data via the SKU field we use the Shopify Product ID to create a SKU in eBay LINK. This eBay LINK SKU cannot be edited and it must be used when creating groups, promotions etc.
