  • Suffix - a value you provide will be added to the end of the SKU created based on the Source you specified earlier;

  • Template - an additional data will be added to the place you entered it.
    For example,
    product SKU is formed from Product ID 123 and SKU Modification was added like %value%-567. Amazon Item SKU will be 123-567.

Improvements

Panel
Some major Performance Improvements

As the number of Amazon data update requests is limited, in some special situations M2E Pro used to send instead of one feed with 100 of Items two feeds with 60 and 40 Items. It caused unwarranted usage of requests reserve.

In case Product updates were often and their number was big, M2E Pro could not process all incoming updates, that leads to a typical error like "Request wait timeout exceeded" or similar to it.

New version was improved to avoid such situations.

Info
Note: Also now M2E Pro can send more changes at once.
Matching of Magento and Amazon Variational Attributes/Options

In new version if you matched Variational Attributes or Options of Variational Attributes manually as M2E Pro cannot make it automatically, you can save the match you selected and use it in future automatically.

For example, you add a Configurable Product to the Listing and assign ASIN/ISBN to Amazon Parent Product. M2E Pro cannot match the Attribute Color with the Attribute Colour by which your Magento Product varies. You select an accordance and press Assign.

In previous versions in case this situation occurs again, you have to select accordance again, but  the latest version in such situation shows a pop-up where you can save the match to make M2E Pro use it automatically in future.

Info
Note: You can always refuse from remembering of the selected match.

Also you can check the box Remember my choice to make M2E Pro to save the accordances automatically without pop-up.

The same mechanism is using for the Options matching.

The match of Variational Attributes can be saved at the moment of:

  • Variation Theme creation with one Variational Attribute;

  • matching of Variational Attributes under existing ASIN/ISBN;

  • matching of attributes in Search Tool.

The match of Options for Variational Attribute can be saved at the moment of:

  • New Child Product Creation in Manage Variations pop-up;

  • usage of Search Tool for Variational Product with selected Variation

Default Setting of Synchronization Policy

Default settings of Synchronization Policy were changed to optimize M2E Pro work. All the options of automatic update of Product Information were disabled by default. It was done because real-time update is rarely required, but their enabling increase the load on Servers.

Info
Note: It is recommended to enable options of Details and Images update in Partial Revise, option of Description Policy update in Full Revise and option Synchronize Data in Relist Rules of Synchronization Policy for Amazon Integration only in case of urgent necessity (e.g. in case you have just added Description Policy to a big number of Products and want to send this data to Amazon) as due to technical restrictions of Amazon API any additional sending of Product Information can cause and cases issues with Price and Quantity Revise.

In case you enable any of these option and make sure that Product Description Information was already sent to Amazon, it is strongly recommended to disable it.
