NOTE: to use the new attribute API's you will need to opt in.  Please contact us on chat or via a support ticket and we can opt  you in to the feature.  


Summary and Key Points:


  1. Trade Me product attributes are set at the Trade Me Category level.   For example this Trade Me category Home - Marketplace - Antiques & collectables - Movie & TV memorabilia - Trading cards has the following attributes types and you can give values to these attributes:
  2. You can set an attribute value to a single product in Omnivore (individual)
  3. You can set attribute values to one of your store categories in Omnivore (bulk)
  4. You can apply category level attribute mapping using the bulk method, at the same time you can give one of those products a different attribute value, in this case the priority will be given to the single product attribute value for that one product.
  5. Changes made to attributes will be updated on the screen instantly, however an upload feed to Trade Me will be required to push the change to the actual listing/s.  You can do this from the Dashboard. 


Add / Map Attributes on a single product (individual)


  1. Go to Products - Trade Me - Marketplace Attribute and tick individually
  2. The screen will change and you will be able to individually scroll and use the drop downs to set your values.  As soon as you select them they are saved, the new value will be pushed up on the next upload feed to Trade Me.
  3. Use the Add / Change Trade Me attributes green button to show or hide attributes in the search screen, for example you may only want to only see an attribute for Manufacturer so you will untick the others and click Update.  This setting is to show or hide attributes in your search.  It can be useful when there are several attributes and you just want to find one or two to map.
  4. Any attributes you set on this screen will be displayed for you on the actual product page in Omnivore, it will be under the Trade Me Product View section.  On the product page in Omnivore you can also assign attributes, it has the same function to quickly add attributes to a single product and at the category level as per below:
