Common changes

3rd Party functionality is renamed to Unmanaged

With this release, we have revised the “3rd Party Listings” functionality and introduced the concept of Unmanaged Listings on all three integrations. 

New options for advanced conditions of Synchronization Policy

Starting with this version, you can set up advanced conditions for 'is empty' or 'is not empty' options when adding Synchronization Policy (eBay/Amazon/Walmart Integration > Configuration > Policies).

Selling Policy optimization

For your convenience,  we replaced the Single Item option for specifying items quantity in the Selling Policy with the Custom Value option set to 1.

Automatic Magento orders creation for City-states

Previously, orders you got from City-states did not imply enough information for automatic Magento order creation due to Magento peculiarities. From now on, M2E Pro will detect City-states orders and supplement them with the necessary details for automatic Magento order creation.

Invoices & Shipments tab is added to Account Settings

For eBay and Walmart integrations, we moved the settings for Magento invoices and shipments creation to Invoices & Shipments tab. Similar to Amazon integration, you can find this tab under eBay / Walmart Integration> Configuration > Accounts.

eBay Integration

Improvements in Unmanaged (former 3rd Party) Listings functionality [Beta]

From now on, there is no need to assign eBay categories to products when moving items from Unmanaged Listings to M2E Pro Listing. Products will be imported to M2E Pro along with the eBay category. Categories earlier configured in M2E Pro will automatically use the default set of Item Specifics. Whereas for newly added categories Item Specifics should be additionally indicated.

For your convenience, M2E Pro will download the appropriate categories for your existing Unmanaged products. You can easily view them right in the Listing grid.

Item becomes hidden on the Channel after being deleted from Magento 

Earlier, products removed from the Magento catalog were stopped on eBay. After this upgrade, you can delete Magento products without losing their selling history on the Channel. Simply keep the Out of stock control option enabled in your eBay Site Preferences so products deleted from Magento obtain the Listed (Hidden) status. 

Include or exclude eVTN from eBay orders

Recently eBay started applying eVTN to orders shipped by specific carriers. We made sure you can decide whether to use eVTN or not. To include or exclude eVTN from Magento orders, go to eBay Integration> Configuration > Accounts > Invoices & Shipments > Shipments.

In-Store pickup for eBay Germany and Canada

We expanded the range of eBay marketplaces that offer In-Store pickup, now Canada and Germany are on the list. You can add these countries under eBay Integration > Configuration > Accounts > In-Store Pickup.

Please note that the In-Store Pickup option is absent in Module unless you get it activated by M2E Pro Support Team.

Shipping Rate Tables are available for eBay Italy, Canada, and Canada (FR)

Our team made Domestic and International Shipping Rate Tables available for sellers on eBay Italy, Canada, and Canada (FR). Navigate to eBay Integration > Configuration > Policies > Shipping Policy to set eBay Shipping Rate Tables.

eBay Listing creation and management is simplified

We improved the way your eBay Listings are created and managed in M2E Pro. Now the creation of eBay Listing takes just 2 steps, instead of 4.

Also, for the sake of convenience, your Custom Settings preferences were transformed into new Policy templates and assigned to Listings. You can locate them under eBay Integration> Configuration > Policies. Your new Policies` titles are identical to the Listings they are assigned to. 

Billing Address Usage option

Since eBay does not provide your buyers` billing details in full, M2E Pro uses their shipping address information as the billing one. After this upgrade, you can decide when your customer`s shipping and billing addresses should coincide - Always or only in cases when Buyer & Recipient have the same name. Go to eBay Integration> Configuration > Accounts > Orders > Customer Settings to opt for the suitable variant.

Collect and Remit taxes

We also added an opportunity to keep track of the taxes eBay collects for your orders. Find the new Collect and Remit taxes field in the eBay Integration> Sales > Orders > Select Order > Transaction Item(s).

Amazon Integration

VCS Invoices upload feature

In the updated Invoices & Shipments tab (Amazon Integration> Configuration > Accounts), there is now a new option for setting up automatic invoice uploading to Amazon. These settings are only available to merchants who sell on Amazon European marketplaces (UK, DE, IT, FR, ES). You can set invoices uploading to Amazon in two ways — automatically upload Magento Invoice once it is created for the Magento order or use VAT Calculation Service.

For the latter option, you need to be eligible for VAT Calculation Service. Then, Amazon will calculate the VAT amount based on your VAT calculation settings. Additionally, you can choose who will generate invoices - Amazon or M2E Pro (VAT Invoice Creation). For more details, please read this article.

Shipping policy is assigned to the entire Listing

We also enhanced the process of Amazon Listing creation. Now, Shipping Policy for your products can be configured in Selling Settings and applied to all items in the Listing. Nevertheless, if you specify the shipping settings for some products individually, they will override the Listing`s ones.

Walmart Integration

Custom shipping carriers for Walmart US and Canada

Our new version allows Walmart US and Canada sellers to ship their orders using custom carriers. You can set up custom carriers in Walmart Integration > Configuration > Accounts >  Invoices & Shipments >  Shipments. To add a shipping carrier, you need to enter its title and website URL into the corresponding boxes. This way your customer can follow their purchase on the carrier`s website by the tracking number included in the order. For more information, please check out this article.
