Introduction

In this article, we will cover how you can use location-specific inventory metafields in Onport.

This feature allows you to extract inventory location information that your vendors may use - for example, vendors may have different warehouse information per SKU.

Overall, this tool allows using metafield transformation to convert non-readable fields from the vendor store into the inventory field that Onport would normally recognize. 

Although most vendors typically do not use metafields for location-specific inventory tracking, this feature will be highly beneficial for syncing this information seamlessly to your marketplace. 

How to set it up

To use this tool, go to Inventory > Inventory feeds > choose feed > click the feed name > Inventory and Prices tab: 

1. Map the data by entering the names of the metafields that contain the information in the text box;

2. Fetch the feed;

3. Information will now be pulled correctly into Onport. 

❗️Disclaimer: if the vendor changes the metafield value on their end, it will only change in the Onport's channel the next time it is published.
