Create and edit attributes
Create or update Commerce attributes as you sell through Amazon and update your stores. Review the current Amazon attributes and linked Commerce attributes through the Attributes view of the Amazon sales channel home page. The Action column shows the available actions for the attribute. You can either create and map a new Commerce attribute for an unlinked Amazon attribute, or you can edit an existing Commerce attribute and its mapping to an Amazon attribute.
As you create and update attributes, you may want to verify the attribute values for Commerce and Amazon products. These values may differ if you do not sync and import values from Amazon. To review Amazon values for these attributes, see Reviewing Amazon Attribute Mapping. If you want to change those values, you can edit or create a mapping between Amazon and Commerce.
