Step 3: Map Product Details and Variations

1. Following are the main sections in the Product Details and Variation Mapping section:
   
   --> Essential Product Details: Provide accurate product information to meet Temu's standards. This step ensures visibility and compliance.

   --> Optional Attributes: Add additional product attributes to enhance discoverability and improve listing accuracy.

1. Carrier Form: Map product-specific attributes to corresponding Temu attribute values for accurate categorization.
   

1. Brand Name: Choose the trademark or brand under which the product is sold. This is a required field to ensure the brand is correctly displayed to shoppers.
   

1. Length, Width, and Height (in Inches): Provide precise dimensions of the product's package to help Temu calculate shipping logistics and costs.
   

1. Weight (in Pounds): Enter the package's weight in pounds to ensure accurate shipping calculations and compliance with logistics requirements.
   

1. Shipping Days: Specify the time it takes to ship the product to provide accurate delivery timelines to customers.
2. Shipping Template ID: Select or assign a shipping template ID that applies to the product. This helps standardize shipping rates and policies.

Step 04: Mapping Variation Types

1. Option Name for Temu:
   --> This dropdown allows you to select or create the appropriate Temu options that match your product’s variations.
   --> Examples include Size, Color, or Material.
   --> For unmatched attributes, a link is provided to "Create a custom Temu Attribute" directly.
2. Set Temu Options:
   --> You can map Shopify variations (e.g., "Large, Medium, Small") to corresponding Temu option values for each attribute, ensuring accurate display of product variations on Temu.
3. Add Variations:
   --> You can add multiple product variations by selecting Temu option values for additional attributes, offering flexibility for comprehensive mapping.

If you can’t find any Temu attribute listed in the dropdown, you can create a custom Temu attribute. 

1. Select an Option for Temu:
   --> Use the dropdown under "Option Name for Temu" to choose a variation type (e.g., Size).
   --> If no predefined options exist, click "Create a custom Temu Attribute" to add new attributes.
2. Map Shopify Variations:
   --> Align Shopify variation values (e.g., "Red, Blue, Green") with corresponding Temu options for accurate display.
3. Repeat for Other Variations:
   --> Map additional variations such as color, material, or style as needed.
4. Save the Configuration:
   --> Once all variations are mapped, save the changes to ensure proper product synchronization.

Benefits of Mapping Variation Types:

1. Consistency: Ensures that product variations are displayed accurately across platforms.
2. Flexibility: Supports multiple variations for complex product configurations.
3. Error-Free Listings: Avoids mismatched or incomplete data, improving the customer experience.
4. Enhanced Discoverability: Proper mapping makes your listings more visible to relevant shoppers.
