Altera already imports Google Shopping data through the `mm-google-shopping` metafields. Now we also recognize the friendlier column names Shopify and Matrixify use, so files exported from either import without renaming.

### 🔧 Improvements

- **Google Shopping column aliases** - `Google Shopping / MPN`, `Gender`, `Age Group`, `Condition`, `Custom Label 0-4` and the rest are now accepted as aliases for the matching `mm-google-shopping` metafields you could already set with `Metafield: mm-google-shopping.[key]` ([see the fields](https://support.getaltera.com/en/articles/11490229-product-fields#google-shopping)).
- **Collection column** - the single `Collection` column now works as an alias for `Custom Collections`, adding a product to a custom collection by its title.

These column names match Shopify's legacy product CSV and Matrixify, so migrated files import as-is instead of being skipped with a warning.
