When products are imported into your store using auto integrations—such as Turn14 Distribution, SEMA Data, or CatalogRack by DCi—descriptions can be generated automatically based on the data provided by these sources.

If available in the supplier’s catalog, the imported descriptions may include a Features & Benefits section. This section typically appears as a list of bullet points highlighting key selling points of the product (performance advantages, material specifications, etc.)

These bullet points are added automatically at the end of both the Description and the Full description, helping shoppers better understand the value and functionality of the product.
