The Fields of a Product Card

What each field of a product card holds, and where Unload sends it in Shopify, PrestaShop, WooCommerce and Odoo.

What a product card holds

Every product Unload reads in your documents becomes a product card. Its fields are the ones your shop takes: some describe the product, the others each of its variants.
