Element ITEMGROUP_ID#
Basic information#
The ITEMGROUP_ID element is the shared identifier for products forming variants. Heureka requires product variants to be listed as separate SHOPITEMs. This means each variant — for example a specific size or colour — is listed in the feed as a separate product. Using ITEMGROUP_ID, you can mark individual groups of variant products with the same code, the group ID.
Like ITEM_ID, the ITEMGROUP_ID element can contain at most 36 characters. Permitted characters are: uppercase and lowercase letters without diacritics, numbers, hyphens, and underscores.
Frequently asked questions#
- What is the difference between ITEMGROUP_ID and ITEM_ID?

- How do I populate ITEMGROUP_ID values if they are missing?
- The approach depends on the specific feed. One option is to use the Data file import rule to import values into ITEMGROUP_ID. If you need help, contact us and we will try to advise you based on your specific situation.
