Basic Mapping Templates: Scale Your Product Library

Stop mapping products one by one. Create reusable Basic Mapping templates and apply them to hundreds of variants in seconds.

Note

Basic Mapping connects your store products to suppliers by matching option names (e.g., "Large" → "Large"). It's fast — but repetitive when you scale.

Variant Mapping Templates let you save your Basic Mapping rules once and apply them to any product with the same structure. In bulk.

What Is Basic Mapping?

Basic Mapping matches your store product to a supplier product by option names — one default supplier + one backup.

Best for: T-shirts, mugs, phone cases. Beginners. Single-country selling.

Step-by-Step Setup Guidance

Step 1: Import a Supplier

Click the mapping icon → Select a supplier platform → Paste the supplier link → Click OK

Tip: If you do not have the suitable supplier, you can

• Select one from the DSers Recommendation list, then click Select & Import to add it directly
• Or search for suppliers using the Supplier Optimizer feature

Step 2: Choose Mapping Method (First Time Only)

If you've never mapped this product before, select Basic Mapping.

Tip: Check "Skip this for 30 days" to save time later.

Step 3: Set as Default

In the Favorite Suppliers drawer, click the gear icon → Set as Default Supplier → CONFIRM .

Step 4: Match Options

Click each cell in the Default Supplier column → Select the matching supplier option (e.g., "M" matches "Medium").

Tip: Turn on Automated Mapping in settings to auto-match options for you.

Step 5: Save

1. Click Save at the bottom of the page
2. In the pop-up, confirm Basic Mapping is selected as the method
3. Click CONFIRM to save

If Basic Mapping doesn't meet your needs, try Advanced Mapping to link multiple suppliers per variant, route orders by country, or set up BOGO and Bundle offers.
