ChannelGuard reads product data from Salsify using a set of default property names. If your Salsify catalog uses different names (e.g., "MAP" instead of "Current Year MAP Price"), you can override the mapping per organization so the sync produces complete rows.

Category | Category | No |
Sub Category | Sub-Category | No |

MSRP | MSRP | No |
Status | Status Filter | Yes |
Overriding the map
Go to Settings → Product Sync → Salsify Field Mapping
The form has three groups: Product Identifiers, Pricing, and Flags & Status
Enter your organization's Salsify property name in the field for any ChannelGuard field you want to override
Required fields (name, mapPrice, status) are starred — they must always resolve to a Salsify property
Each input shows the default as a placeholder — leave a field blank to use the default
Click Save — the next sync will use your custom mapping
Resetting to defaults
Click Reset to Defaults to clear all overrides and fall back to the baseline map. You'll need to click Save to apply the reset.
Troubleshooting
Sync runs but produces empty or partial rows: your Salsify property names probably don't match the default map. Open the field mapping UI and enter your actual Salsify property names, then rerun the sync.
"Required field cannot be empty" error: the effective map (your overrides merged over the defaults) has an empty value for name, mapPrice, or status. Either restore that field to its default or provide a valid Salsify property name.
Multiple ChannelGuard fields pointing at the same Salsify column: this works — ChannelGuard deduplicates the export property list automatically. You can safely map, for example, both SKU and ID to the same Salsify column.
