## Keep the right fields.

Workflow field map

| Field / step | Input | Rule |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Identity | Product ID + variation ID | Preserve parent-child relationships. |
| Price | Amount + store currency | Check variation-specific values. |
| Access | Merchant authorization or public source | Do not treat store-owner APIs as public access. |

## Before you use the output

WooCommerce documents a merchant REST API. That is separate from datawebot's extraction Jobs, which cover the stores listed on the endpoints page. Another source requires review.

[WooCommerce REST API ↗](https://developer.woocommerce.com/docs/apis/rest-api/)

## Check one record first.

Start with the smallest useful scope. Compare the returned record with its source, confirm variant identity and inspect missing fields before applying the mapping to a larger dataset.

Keep extraction warnings and the retrieval timestamp with downstream output. When a required field is missing, leave it unresolved or return to the source; do not fill it from an assumption.
