# How to create a Shopify Category Metaobject mapping in Nabu Google Shopping Feed app ?

# Here's how you can map Shopify's category metaobjects (like Color Pattern, Material, Size) to your Google feed attributes inside the Nabu for Google Feed app.

## Configure in Shopify admin
 
1. In Shopify admin, go to **Products** and open the product you want to update.
2. In the **Category** field, pick the most specific category that fits the product (e.g. `Canvas Rolls in Painting Canvas`).
3. Save the product. Shopify will automatically attach the category metafields for that taxonomy.
4. Scroll down to the **Category metafields** section and fill in the values (e.g. `Color: Brown, Grey`, `Paper size: A4`). Only the fields you fill in will be sent to your feed.

## How to identify Shopify metaobjects in the UI ? 
 
Once saved, the mapping appears in the table below the **Add Metaobject** button. Each row shows:
 
* **Resource** — Product or Variant
* **Metaobject & fields** — e.g. `Color (Color Pattern - shopify)` ** Shopify Category Metaobjects are shown with "(Shopify)"**
* **Key** — e.g. `shopify--color-pattern`
* **Attribute** — the Google feed attribute it's mapped to
* **Action** — edit / delete icons
Use the **All / Products / Variants** tabs above the table to filter the list.
