Link Products Across Channels
The Link function allows Nembol to recognize the same product across different sales channels and connect them together instead of importing them as separate products.
Once products are linked, Nembol can keep their inventory synchronized across channels and update stock when orders are received or inventory changes.
Please note: Link function is available on the Pro Plan or higher, and during the 14-day free trial.
Before linking products: requirements
For Nembol to recognize products as the same item, products must have matching information across channels.
Before importing, make sure that:
- SKU codes match
The same product must have the same SKU code on all channels. If SKU codes are different, Nembol cannot identify the products as the same item. - Variations match
Products with variations must have the same variation structure and the same SKU code assigned to each variation. - Product hierarchy matches
The product structure must be identical across channels.
Example:
Channel A: 1 parent product + 2 variations
Channel B: 1 parent product + 2 variations
These products can be linked.
How product linking works
- Connect your first sales channel and configure the import settings. See per channel guide ->
- Import products from this channel.
- Imported products will appear in Nembol with the Imported status.
- Connect your second sales channel and configure the import settings.
- Import products from the second channel.
- Nembol compares the products using SKU codes and automatically links matching products instead of creating duplicates.
Once products are linked, Nembol keeps inventory synchronized across channels.
For example:
- An order received on one channel decreases stock in Nembol.
- The updated stock is then synchronized with the other connected channels.
Please note: The first channel you import products from becomes the initial source of product content in Nembol. If you enable “Push updates to channels” for a connected channel, Nembol will synchronize product content between channels over time.
If your channels have different product content (for example, different titles or descriptions), keep “Push updates to channels” disabled to maintain separate content for each channel.
How to check if products are Linked?
Linked products appear in the Products tab with multiple channel icons attached.
If products do not link, check that:
- SKU codes are identical.
- Variation SKUs match.
- Product structures are the same.
How to fix products that did not link
If products were imported separately because SKU codes did not match:
- Remove the incorrect products from Nembol.
- Update SKU codes and product structures on your sales channels.
- Import the products again.
Nembol will then recognize and link the matching products.
You can use Nembol Checkup to identify and filter products with duplicate, missing, or inconsistent SKU codes.
