Published Field

Available on: ✔️ Add ✔️ Update ✔️ Export
Can publish products automatically to sales channels, requires write_publications access scope. This scope is currently available only for private apps installed on Shopify Plus stores. Contact Shopify Partner Support to enable the scope for your app.
If you map the publish field in the Update Feed, you cannot select the advanced settings for unpublish or archive in Step 4, as this will cause a conflict.



The published field is mapped to publish or unpublish any specific column names or indexes from Shopify Store publishing

There are a few settings for this field which are:

1. Publish



Publish value indicator is for the show, publish, and back-in-stock. The value of 1 is inclusive of 1 and the number greater than 1. By default, it is using true. 

You can provide any indicator to indicate the given field. The product to be published must have a quantity greater than 1.



2. Unpublish



The unpublished value indicator will not be unpublished if the quantity is still available unless force unpublished is enabled. By default, it is using false.

You can provide any indicator to indicate the given field. In order to unpublish a product, its quantity must be set to 0 unless you enable the force unpublished option. 



3. Force unpublished when quality is still available



By enabling the toggle icon, it will automatically be unpublished when the quantity is still available in the feed file.



Other examples:
i. If your cell is empty, you can use the value indicator to replace the empty cell.
ii. It will auto-set the product as published or unpublished based on the quantity available. This is a granular feature compared to the auto publish all products or matching products within feed file.
iii. You also can use 0, hide, unpublish, and out-of-stock as the value indicator.

4. Edit sales channel for publish



Select the sales channel you would like to publish to, to avoid publishing to all sales channels.
