Sears Item Specifics Mappings

The Sears Item Specifics Mapping optimizes and speeds up the listing process. On the Sears post, it automatically fills the Sears attributes, for each listing individually. Mapping can use an existing product value or a fixed value, defined in Mappings. This allows posting multiple products in different categories together, each one having unique parameters.  

Each Sears category can have it's own mapping, relevant to the specific type of the products.
