Every feed contains multiple settings to customize its functionality. Click on the Edit icon adjacent to the feed name to access those settings. Here are the settings you get under the feeds:

Select Object: This setting allows you to select a WooCommerce object for which you want to sync the data.

Map Fields: This setting helps you map a field to the value it will contain. For example, you can map an Account feed with a First Name field to make sure the Account feed will store the first name value.

You can map fields using

1. Custom Value

2. Standard Value

For Custom Value, use the placeholders from the dropdown menu to create a custom entry for any Salesforce object field.
For Standard Value, you can directly select the Salesforce object field you want to sync your WooCommerce field with.

For example, if you want to sync “WooCommerce_Account_xyz@gmail.com” from your WooCommerce orders to the ‘Name’ field in your Accounts object in your Salesforce dashboard.

Select the placeholder for ‘{shop_order__billing_email}’ after entering your desired string (‘WooCommerce_Account_’ in this example) . Similarly, you can customize values for any object field.
