How to Set Up Country of Origin

Clear UI navigation path: Go to App → Feed Settings → Step 2: Matching Column

Locate Field: Find Country of Origin (or Country) in the list of Shopify product fields.
Map Feed Column or Set Fixed Value: Select the feed file column containing your country data, or select Static Value if your feed lacks a country column.
Enter Value: If using a fixed value, type the default country code or country name (e.g., US or United States).
Save Feed: Click Save to apply the field mapping settings.

If your supplier feed file does not include a country column, set a fixed value to apply the same origin to all products in that feed.

Field values are not case-sensitive. Entering australia, AUSTRALIA, or Australia will all map as Australia in Shopify.

Country of Origin Details & Examples

Accepted Field Formats

Stock Sync accepts standard two-letter ISO country codes as well as full country names.

Input Type	Examples	Mapped Shopify Result
Country Code	`US`, `AU`, `GB`, `CA`	`United States`, `Australia`, `United Kingdom`, `Canada`
Full Country Name	`United States`, `Australia`, `United Kingdom`, `Canada`	`United States`, `Australia`, `United Kingdom`, `Canada`

Example: A supplier feed contains product pricing and stock levels but no country column. By setting a fixed value of US, all imported or updated products automatically receive United States as their origin.

Key Rules & Technical Details

Mapping Availability: Country of Origin mapping is supported on both Add Products and Update Products feed types.
Shopify Catalog Integration: Populating this field updates the native Shopify product variant inventory item location properties, which are used for automated shipping calculations and customs documentation.

Troubleshooting Steps

Issue: Country of Origin is not displaying on Shopify variants → Solution: Ensure the feed run has completed successfully, and verify that the mapped column or static value uses a recognized country name or two-letter ISO code.
Issue: Custom country abbreviations are failing to import → Solution: Use standard 2-letter ISO codes (e.g., US, GB) or the full country name rather than non-standard regional abbreviations.
