Mapping methods overview

Support:

Mapping means that you match one or multiple suppliers to your specific products (variants) to decide who you want to purchase products from.

In DSers, you have access to a range of mapping possibilities, including Basic Mapping, Standard Mapping, Advanced Mapping, BOGO (Buy One Get One) and Bundle.

Each mapping has its own advantages that you can utilize according to your selling strategy. What’s even better is that you can easily switch between them to make adjustments when necessary.

Mapping methods overview

Here is an overview of these 5 types of mapping methods.

Mapping methods	When you need it
Basic Mapping	It is one-supplier mapping by matching your product’s options and option values to the AliExpress product’s options and option values. This feature also allows you to set an alternative supplier in case the main supplier is out of stock or apply two suppliers for different variants of one product.
Standard Mapping	This is a mapping method that enables you to map a specific supplier for each specific variant.
Advanced Mapping	This mapping method is developed to help you set variant mapping based on shipping destination. It can lower shipping cost and shipping time.
BOGO Mapping	BOGO mapping is very useful when it comes to upselling. You can set up buy 1 get 1 offer, buy 2 get 1 offer and so on to promote sales and profits.
Bundle Mapping	Bundle mapping is one way to implement upselling too. You can use it to create products in kits to increase your sales from every purchase made by your customers.

While mapping, you can click on the top right of the product image to find suppliers directly with the Supplier Optimizer feature.
