Map product attributes to OLX fields
Updated
Attribute mapping tells Tidelist where to find the values that OLX asks for in a category, such as condition, size, colour or brand.
Where can a value come from?
For each OLX field you choose one source: a product field such as the name, SKU, weight or brand; a product attribute from WooCommerce; one fixed value for all products; or “ask me for each product”. Values from your shop are then matched to the values on OLX’s own list for that field.
Steps
- Open Tidelist: Attributes and choose an OLX category.
- For every field, pick a source. Fields marked “required” must have a value, or the advert cannot be published.
- Where OLX has a fixed list of values, match each of your values to one of OLX’s values. Tidelist suggests matches.
- Press Save attribute mapping.
Variations
For variable products, each variation becomes its own advert. Size and colour come from the variation, not from the parent product.
When OLX allows only one value
OLX takes only one value for some fields. If a product has several, the first one is used and the preview tells you.
Frequently asked questions
What happens when a required field has no value?
The advert is not published. The preview shows "A required OLX field has no value" and links to the attribute mapping.
