Item Custom Fields
Accumula supports publish and update of product details from Heartland to Shopify. To ensure the needed fields are present, navigate in Heartland to Settings > Custom Fields and make sure the following Custom Fields are present on Items. If the Custom Field does not exist, please create it:
Required Fields: | Shopify Translation: | Create field: | Definition: |
Color | Color | The color variant option in your grid | |
Size | Size | The size variant option in your grid | |
Third | Attribute 3 (as needed) | X | The third attribute option in your grid. Typically the width of a shoe, additional accent, etc. |
Tags | Tags | X | The field used to add the Accumula tag to your products indicating which products will push to Shopify. This can be used to push additional product tags to Shopify as well. |
Weight | Weight | The weight of the product. While you do not have to enter the weight in Heartland to create the item. Accumula needs this field for mapping purposes. | |
Price | Compare at Price | This is typically the Original Price field in Heartland which would be used as the compare at price in Shopify. | |
Online Price | Price | This is typically the Current Price filed in Heartland. If you wish to have separate pricing in store versus online, you may create a custom field for Online Price if needed. |
Optional Fields: | Shopify Translation: | Definition: |
Brand | Brand | This is typically the primary Default Vendor from Heartland which can also be interpreted as Manufacturer. |
Category | Type | This translates to Type in Shopify |
UPC | Barcode | This translates to Barcode in Shopify |
Short Description | Title | By default, Accumula maps to the Heartland title of a grid or item. If you wish to use the same description in Heartland and Shopify you can skip this step, this field is for the online title in Shopify. It can be helpful if you need a different title in Shopify compared to the description you use in Heartland. |
New Products: Add Tags to Grids and Items
If you have a new Shopify or Magento site with no products in it, be sure that all items you want published to your ecommerce system have the "accumula" tag applied in the tags field. This includes both Grid and Single Items. You can also add other tags you wish to integrate at this time including Accumula feature tags like Hidden or Instock.
Heartland provides a handy way to update Tags in bulk using Heartland's Import/Update Feature. You may also want to add Tags in Heartland representing other fields such as Department or Season. This is a flexible way to organize and manage data in Ecommerce.
TIP: Adding a tag to a Grid will automatically add the Tag to all Items in the Grid.

Map Custom fields
If you need to change the custom field mappings after the integration has been connected navigate back to Apps > Heartland to re-map your Custom Fields and then click "Save". This is not retroactive so will only apply to changes saved from that point forward.
