Product detail
Everything the system knows about a product — including the raw feed data and where each value came from.

The detail is the one place you see a product whole — and, more importantly, where you see where each value came from. On a product that has been through an import, a mapping, a rule and the AI, it is the only reliable answer to "why does it say that".
Controls on this screen
- Name and product code — The code is the feed identifier — what the product is matched by on every later import.
- Edit product — Opens the editor. The only route to a manual change runs from here.
- Type — A simple product, or one with variants.
- Status — Draft, published or archived.
- Description origin — "Manual" means a person or the AI wrote it — and that an import will not overwrite it.
- Generate — Has the AI write a description from the name, parameters, brand and category.
- Vendor — Which feed the product came from.
- Brand — The unified manufacturer brand.
- Manual category — Your category. Nothing here means the product is unmapped.
- Vendor categories — Categories as the feed sent them. The star marks the primary one.
- Internal ID — Monokaido's identifier. This is the one that appears in the page address and the API.
- External ID — The vendor's identifier.
- Enabled — Your decision that the product may be sold.
- Visible in listings — Whether the shop actually shows it — a product can be enabled and still hidden.
Where each value came from
This is the main question the detail answers:
| Marker | Means | Consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Manual | A person or the AI wrote the value. | An import will not overwrite it. This is what protects your work. |
| From the feed | The vendor sent the value. | It can change on every import. |
| From a rule | A flow step set the value. | The next run sets it again — see Product flows. |
System settings
| Field | What it does | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Enabled | Whether the product may go on sale at all. | Your decision. |
| Orderable | Whether it can be ordered. | Tied to stock and to the overselling setting. |
| Visible in listings | Whether the shop shows it. | It can be hidden by a rule, or by being the secondary side of a merge. |
| Priority | Its position in listings. | Higher priority comes first. |
I changed the description and after the import it is the old one again.
The description was not marked manual. Editing through the editor marks it; changing it another way does not.
The product is enabled but not in the shop.
Check Visible in listings, whether its category is active, and whether the product is the secondary side of a merge.
