Item Preview Tool with Values which will be sent to eBay

In the new M2E Pro version, an Item Preview tool has been added. When the Preview action is applied, you can see a preliminary eBay Product page. The M2E Pro preview page is only a stylized template, but not an actual eBay page.

There are two possible ways of how you can access the Item Preview page. You can use the option "Preview Added Products Now" after the new Magento Products have been added to an M2E Pro Listing.

Also, you can Preview the Products which have already been Listed on eBay. To see an Item Preview page, you need to tick the appropriate Products from the Listing and select Preview Items from mass actions bulk.

You can choose up to 50 Items to preview at the same time. To move between the Item Preview pages, you can press right arrow and left arrow buttons at the top of the page.

The Preview page displays the main Product data, such as Product Title, Image(s), eBay Item ID, eBay Category path, Item Condition, Quantity, Price and all of the available Product Variations, which will be sent on eBay during the next List/ Revise/ Relist action.

The Preview template also gives you a brief overview of the main Item Specifics, Description, Shipping, Payment and Return data. You can find this information under the corresponding tabs at the bottom of the page. However, the available information does not contain all of the details, only the most essential points.

Ability to set Parts Compatibilities dynamically

In the new M2E Pro version, an ability to dynamically set and manage Parts Compatibility is introduced. 

In the previous versions, it was impossible to manage the Parts Compatibility dynamically. If the set of the available ePID(s)/kType(s) changed (e.g. new values were added, or some of the values were removed), the changes in the Parts Compatibility Magento Attribute had to be provided manually.

Unlike the old versions, M2E Pro version 6.3.7 offers a more flexible approach to Parts Compatibility management.

ePID(s)/kType(s) can be manually selected from the common grid and applied to the Parts Compatibility Magento Attribute which is provided in Sell on eBay > Configuration > General.

However, the new functionality also allows Filtering Compatible Vehicles based on various conditions (i.e. Type, Model, etc.) and saving the provided Filters for future usage. After you press the Save Filter button, the specified in the grid columns settings will be saved.

Also, you have an option to Group the appropriate Compatible Vehicles or Filters. You can do it by selecting certain ePID(s)/kType(s) from the common grid and applying Save as a Group Action or by choosing the particular saved Filters under the Filters tab and also applying Save as a Group Action. The Group of ePID(s)/kType(s) or Filters can be reapplied multiple times without any need to manually search for the right Compatible Vehicles all over again.

Using these methods lets you create a set of data which will be further added to the Parts Compatibility Magento Attribute. To add the prepared data set to the Attribute, you can use either Add or Override option. 

In the case of using Add option, the prepared ePID/kType values will be Added to the already present in the Attribute values.

If Override option is used, all of the previously present in the Magento Attribute values will be Overridden, and only the newly selected ePID/kType values will be applied. 

This approach works for the manually selected ePID(s)/kType(s), Filters and Groups.

The ability to Filter the ePID(s)/kType(s) and Group the appropriate Compatible Vehicles or Filters allows you to set up Parts Compatibility more efficiently.

Ability to select several Configurable Attributes for Variation Images

With the release of the current M2E Pro version, the "Change Images for Attributes" option in the Description Policy has been modified.

Previously, only one Magento Variational Attribute could be selected for this option. The new version provides users with a new possibility to select several relevant Magento Variational Attributes.

Using the Also, you can still use the "Variation Attribute Images" option drop-down , you should also choose one to choose an Attribute based on which Images for Multi-Variation Items will change.

Improvements

Variation Attributes/Options are shown for Products in Listings Log

The Listings Logs for Multi-Variation Products has been improved in M2E Pro version 6.3.7.

Previously, the Listings Logs for Multi-Variation Products displayed information only with reference to Parent Product, even if the changes concerned Item's Options/ Variations. In the current version, it has become possible to track changes of each individual Option/ Variation in the Listings Logs. Thus, once there is a change in the Product Attribute for any of the Item's Options/ Variations, the Log will inform you about the change referring to the particular Child Product.

For example, there is a Multi-Variation Product with Options Material Wood, Glass and Plastic. If the Price for the Material Glass Option changes, the Log will inform you not only about the change of Product Price, but also about the change of Product Custom Attribute with reference to the Variation Material Glass.

SKU column is added to the Variations Grid of Manage Variations pop-up

The grid in the Manage Variations pop-up window for Multi-Variation Products has been modified in the new M2E Pro version.

A new column which displays SKU values for each of the Product Variations has been added. Thus, now you can filter or search for certain Item Variations based on their SKU values.

SKU values are automatically displayed in the grid if the values are provided in the corresponding Child Products.

Improvements

Description Policy is Managed under the same tab along with other Policies

Earlier, Amazon Description Policies used to be managed under a separate tab in Sell on Multi-Channels >Configuration > [Amazon (Beta) Description Policies].

Now, the saved Description Policies can be found under the general Policies tab along with Selling Format, Synchronization and Shipping Override Policies.

Next to the Description Policy Title you can also see whether the Policy provides settings for new ASIN/ISBN creation and what Amazon Category is chosen for it.

Number of Items and Item Package Quantity can be sentotAmazon at any time

Previously, "Package Quantity" and "Number of Items" options in Description Policy were required fields for new ASIN/ISBN creation and these values were sent onto the channel only during new ASIN/ISBN creation in Amazon catalog.

From the current version, the Package Quantity and Number of Items values can be sent onto Amazon at any time, not only during the initial List Action for New Amazon Products.

Performance during Actions for Parent/Child Products

General Performance during List/Relist/Revise Actions for Products with Parent-Child relationship has been greatly improved.

In the earlier M2E Pro versions, for some reasons there could be occasional memory leaks which sometimes caused poor performance, if not the performance collapse. Fortunately, the issue has been resolved and efficiency is now increased.
