How to control which Magento website(s) each product is assigned to using KatanaPIM Connect.
Overview
By default, all imported products are assigned to the same Magento website(s). With Product to Website Matching, you can let KatanaPIM control which website(s) each product appears on — useful for multi-brand, multi-channel, or B2B/B2C setups.
Default Behavior
Without any mapping, all synced products are assigned to the websites selected in:
If no websites are selected there, products are assigned to all Magento websites.
Setting Up PIM-Driven Website Assignment
Step 1: Import and Map the Attribute in Magento
Go to Katana PIM → Attributes
Click Import Attributes to fetch the latest attributes from PIM
Find the website assignment attribute in the grid (e.g. product_in_websites)
Click the Magento Attribute Code cell and select Create new attribute
The module automatically creates the Magento attribute katanapim_product_in_websites
Step 2: Sync Attribute Options
Select the attribute in the grid
Use the mass action Update/Create Magento Attribute to sync the PIM options to Magento
Step 3: Verify the Option Labels
After syncing, verify that the PIM option labels match your Magento website names:
In the Attributes grid, click View in the actions column to open the Magento attribute
Scroll to Manage Options to see the synced option labels
Compare these labels with your Magento website names (found in Stores → All Stores)
The labels must match exactly (the comparison is case-insensitive):
PIM Option Label
Magento Website Name
Match?
B2C Store
B2C Store
Yes
b2c store
B2C Store
Yes
B2C
B2C Store
No
If the labels don't match, update them in KatanaPIM or rename your Magento websites to align.
Step 4: Sync Products
Run a full sync via CLI, Cron, or the manual sync button. Products will now be assigned to the Magento website(s) that match their PIM attribute value.
Important Notes
Name Matching
The module matches PIM option labels to Magento website names. The match is case-insensitive but must be exact:
PIM Option Label
Magento Website Name
Match?
B2C Store
B2C Store
Yes
b2c store
B2C Store
Yes
B2C
B2C Store
No
If you rename a website in Magento, update the corresponding option label in KatanaPIM to match.
Configurable Products
Website assignment is per product — it is not inherited from parent to child. Each simple product and each configurable product must have its own website value set in KatanaPIM.
Fallback
If a product has a website value set in PIM but none of the labels match a Magento website, the module falls back to the default website assignment configured in General → Import Settings → Websites. This prevents products from ending up without any website.
Troubleshooting
Problem
Solution
Products appear on all websites
Check that the attribute is mapped and has values in PIM
Products missing from a website
Verify the PIM option label matches the Magento website name exactly
Debug log shows "Label skipped"
The PIM option label does not match any Magento website name — check for typos or extra spaces

To evaluate a provider, it is not enough to consider only the product offered, but also its after-sales service, such as support and troubleshooting. Magmodules has been extremely satisfactory at all levels on multiple occasions and sets the bar at the top when comparing the competition.

Magmodules biedt plugins aan die van hoge kwaliteit zijn tegen een goede prijs, waar dit bedrijf in uitblinkt is de bereidheid om de zeldzame feedback & problemen met de plugins te willen onderzoeken, mee te willen denken in het debuggen van problemen en goede oplossingen toe te passen.
In mijn decennium ervaring met Magento & 3th parties is Magmodules absoluut een uniqum binnen de markt.

Uitstekende support! Wij gebruiken o.a. de Rich Snippets Suite extensie voor onze Magento 2 webshop (Hyvä) en hadden een specifieke vraag over structured data op PLP-pagina’s. Binnen no-time kregen we een inhoudelijk en duidelijk antwoord. Zeer prettig contact en goed onderbouwde uitleg. Absoluut een betrouwbare partner voor Magento-extensies!
