Need to ‘manipulate’ some of your attribute values before they make it to your product feed? You can do so by creating rule sets. Let us just deep-dive into the inner workings of rules by showing you some of the most used rules.

Rules can be a very powerful tool in creating your perfect product feed but we can imagine they can be complex to set up, so please feel free to reach out to [email protected] whenever you have a question about them or need help with setting up a rule.
