Are you experiencing an issue where the quantity associated with each variation of your product is being imported into Nembol, despite keeping the “Quantities vary” setting OFF when creating your listing on Etsy?

Let’s delve into the problem, and explain why this occurs.

On Etsy, it is possible to have just one quantity parameter even for products with multiple variations. This setting is not available on other sales channels, which all require specifying the stock available for each variation (i.e. for each SKU).

When you import from Etsy to Nembol a product with variations, a quantity is necessarily assigned to each individual variation, rather than being included only at the parent product level. At the same time, the setting “Quantities vary” gets switched ON in Etsy.

This can be confusing for sellers who intended for the quantity to apply only to the overall parent product. However, there’s a reason behind this Nembol behavior:

• Most if not all other channels require to have stock info at the variation level
• If you attempt to list a product with variations but with stock only at the parent level, an error would stop the publication and reject the product
• Additionally, synchronization won’t work across channels if Nembol doesn’t provide consistent stock to connected channels.
