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.

5. Click Save.

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.
