# Product Mapping & Setup

This phase connects your internal SKUs to Trendyol’s marketplace catalog. Proper product mapping is essential to sync inventory, manage listings, and process orders.

## Understanding Product Mapping

Product mapping creates a relationship between:

* Your SKU (internal identifier)
* Trendyol Product ID (external identifier)
* Inventory Location
* Pricing
* Selling Status (`Active`/`Inactive`)


**Types of Mapping:**

1. Manual Mapping (for precision or missed SKUs)
2. Bulk Mapping (via CSV/XLSX upload)


## Manual Mapping Process

1. Navigate to **Products → Channel Mapping** in the left-hand navigation menu.
2. Click the kebab menu (three-vertical-dots icon) and select **Trendyol** under **Demand**.
3. Click the **Product ID** field to enter the marketplace identifier.
4. Activate each SKU in the **Status** column once mapping is done.
5. (Optional) Specify **Buffer Stock**, toggle **Status** to **Active**, and click **Save** (✓). Buffer stock prevents overselling by holding back the specified quantity.
