Export Products in eBay
With this module, the product export from Odoo to eBay has been streamlined to avoid any unexpected hurdles with a dedicated layer. This layer will help you to prepare products according to the eBay standard before exporting them from Odoo. Now, let’s understand the complete process.
Navigate to eBay / Catalog / Products. Open product which is not exported yet. At this stage, you need to configure the eBay product before we finally push them to eBay Site(s). Let’s take a look at the required configurations.
- Primary Category: This field is mandatory. It identifies what products belong to the particular category.
- Store Category: This field is optional. If you have created a store in eBay then you can set Store category.
- Attributes: It will have a list of Item Specific Attribute Name/Attribute Value pairs used by the seller to provide descriptive details of an item in a structured manner. You can not manually create the attribute from here. Refer to section 6.2 where it is specified how to get the Attributes.
TIP
You must have to set Brand and MPN attributes. If you have not branded so brand value set as Not Branded and if have not set the MPN value then set the value as Does not apply.
Finally, we are on the stage where we can export the products to eBay after those successful configurations. Navigate to eBay / Catalog / Products then open the products which you want to export on eBay. Next, click on the Action dropdown then on to Export Products In eBay to open the pop-up. You need to select the Listing Template and then select Start Listing Immediately option then click on Export Products In eBay button to export all products to eBay.
If all products are successfully exported in eBay then Exported Product To eBay field will be automatically checked True in the eBay Listing Information tab. Besides, you can also identify how many variants are exported in eBay using the Export Variants field and you can spot how many variants are active in eBay for sale based on the Active Variants field.
If you are exporting variant products then eBay will create variants for each product based on the stock availability. For example, if any product has 5 variants & among those 5 variants, in 3 variants stock available then eBay will create only 3 variants in the eBay store & 2 variants will be skipped by eBay. When the stock is available for those 2 variants, you can update the product again & eBay will create the other 2 variants in the eBay store.
In the end, if the products are not exported on eBay, it will create an eBay log with reasons why products are not exported on eBay. For example, some missing information, wrong information fill-up, stock not available, or other issues in products may cause the failure in the export process for eBay. You can check the eBay Log in menu eBay / Processes/ Operation Logs.
