NOTES:

• Input this code only on the Availability field in the Product Catalog

• brand / google_product_category - input the field(s) that you want to match

• "Nike"/"Adidas"/ "Flip Flops" input the text you want to match for each field

  • Text is case insensitive so "Nike"/"nike", "Adidas"/"adidas" and "Flip Flops"/"flip flops" will be matched

  • icontains does not accept lists so if you want to mark multiple brand/google_product_category/etc as out of stock a new (icontains <field> <text>) must be added for each additional brand or category

• out of stock- any matching IDs will have out of stock input into the availability field. Change out of stock if you want to insert different text.
