I have seen that the script does makes all products with same name equal.
This is a problem in some cases when a feed from 2 merchant contains for example the product name "pants" and the scripts makes the price comp. to be the same product, but it isn't.
Is it possible to go around this in any way?
Hi There,
This is quite common with (and it sounds like this is the case here) clothing feeds; where the difference is actually specified in other fields, such as a size or color.
The thing to do in this case is to use the Text Before / Text After filters to bring in those differentiating values to make unique product names from the more generic name in the actual product name field. With these filters, you can use placeholders of the format %FIELDNAME%, so for example if there is a field called COLOR, you could add the colour to the product name by adding the following as a Text Before filter:
%COLOR%(don't forget a SPACE before or afterwards as required otherwise it will become all one word with the product name)
This would give you product names like "Red Pants" or "Blue Pants" which would then be imported as unique products...
Cheers,
David.
