5. Find


Search for specific words or phrases separated by commas. The search matches partial words and supports wildcards (*) and regular expressions.


Find Setting


Entering man* matches any word starting with "man", such as man, woman, or manicure.


To remove HTML hyperlinks using regex, enter: <a href=.*?>, <a id=.*?>, </a>.


You can test and validate regular expressions at regex101.com.


6. Replace With


Replace the matched words or phrases defined in the Find field. Separate multiple replacement values with commas to match the corresponding find terms in sequence.


Replace With Setting


Enter replacement terms in corresponding order (e.g., word1,word2 replaces the 1st and 2nd terms in Find).


To replace a term with dynamic feed column data, wrap the column name in double brackets (e.g., {{title}}).


7. Translation From


Select the source language of the title data in your feed file. Over 10 languages are supported.

8. Translation To


Select the target language to automatically translate incoming product titles into before updating your store.

Key Rules & Technical Details


  • Processing Sequence: Operations run in sequence: Multiple Title Merging → Case Conversion → Ignore Words / Regex → Find & Replace → Language Translation.
  • Dynamic Variable Injection: When using dynamic placeholders in Replace With, use double curly braces around the exact source column name (e.g., {{column_name}}).



Troubleshooting Steps


  • Issue: Unwanted words or numbers remain in the product title → Solution: Verify that values in Ignore words are separated by commas and that there are no conflicting regex syntax errors.
  • Issue: Multiple columns are not separating properly → Solution: Check Multiple title separator under title settings and confirm the desired delimiter (e.g., -) is selected.
  • Issue: HTML tags still show up in titles → Solution: Select Clean up all html tags under Case Convert or apply the regex <[^>]*> in Ignore words.
