===== Product Variable Mapping =====

In this step, you will be given the tools to set your production information, such as printer or material, for a Control product as it relates to an Ecommerce product. This will only set variable data for a parent line.

=== Available Merge Fields from Ecommerce Products ===

There are a few system-generated Ecommerce variables that are available when applicable.

^Merge Field^Description|
^<nowiki>{{productname}}</nowiki>|The Ecommerce product’s Product Name.|
^<nowiki>{{quantity}}</nowiki>|The quantity of items in your Ecommerce order. \\ For the shipping item, it will always be 1.|
^<nowiki>{{description}}</nowiki>|The Ecommerce product’s short description. \\ For the shipping item, the description will include the shipping method and the ship to address.|
^<nowiki>{{sku}}</nowiki>|The Ecommerce product’s SKU or Part #.|
^<nowiki>{{width}}</nowiki>|The Ecommerce product’s width.|
^<nowiki>{{height}}</nowiki>|The Ecommerce product’s height.|
^<nowiki>{{length}}</nowiki>|The Ecommerce product’s length.|

To identify the name of your Control variable, please see your Control version’s relevant Identity Variable Name wiki.
