How to map EAN to GTIN

Hi @darczello83,

I can offer two solutions:

1. Use our EAN when creating the XML file. The exact steps will depend on the plugin you are using for creating the XML, but generally, there should be something called “Custom fields” or similar, where you should be able to select our EAN field. Sometimes these plugins will ask for the field key – it’s _alg_ean in our case. If you could tell me which plugin you are using, I could tell you the exact steps then.

2. You can use WooCommerce export/import tools as a workaround. I.e. you export all products to a CSV file (via “Products > Export”) and select “ID” and “EAN” fields there (in the “Which columns should be exported?”). Now after that, open the CSV file, and replace the column name (it’s in the first row) from EAN to meta:_gtin (you may need to replace the _gtin with your actual GTIN key). Then import the same file (via “Products > Import”) and check the “Update existing products” box there. Hope you get the idea.

I would recommend solution nr. 1 though – this way you won’t have to perform any additional actions when you’ll generate EANs for your new products in the future.

Please let me know if you have any questions, or if both solutions are not good enough, and I’ll come up with something else.

Hi
Im use feed manager – wpmarketingrobot

Ok, I’ve checked the plugin (this is the one, correct?) – there should be _alg_ean option in the -- Select a source field -- dropdown. Please take a look at this screenshot.

Hi. I dont`t see “_alg_ean” – I do not see this variable in the selection field. I looked 4 times from top to bottom. Some ideas ?

I forgot to mention one step, sorry about that. Please go to “Feed Manager > Settings”, and add %ean% to the “Third party attributes” option there, i.e. it will look something like this:

%wpmr%,%cpf%,%unit%,%bto%,%yoast%,%ean%

Please let me know if that solves it.

I’m going to mark this thread as “resolved” for now, hope that’s ok. Please let me know if there are still any questions/issues.
