Full Version: Help W/ Dataport And Too Many Variants

MC's,

A couple of days ago I downloaded my products in several categories to change weights on them in bulk.

I uploaded clothing, and now have a problem. The clothing now shows the same variants twice. So on a t-shirt, you have the drop-down menu once, and then again. It's confusing, and needs to go right away.

What is the best way to do this? I'm afraid to experiment, because I don't want to ruin the listing. Do I have to manually delete the second set for all tees?

Thanks,

Hi rungren,

I'd need to see your site to beable to tell what's wrong. Where is it?

Without seeing it I would guess you've added groups of variants instead of actual variants.

Or if it only happened because of Dataport, check your setting. When you upload do not select the variants on your upload selection options.

Hope this helps

Gary

I would say that you have one of two issues. Either your variant groups are named differently but only slightly. Or, when you used dataport to upload, you used "Keep Old" when you uploaded.

I've found that a good practice is to download the entire store and export it to a file. After the file saves successfully, I work on the store and upload. That way, if something should happen, you can always re-upload the original.
