FAQs
Q: If I apply a Variations Profile, will it replace my existing variations?
A: Yes. Applying a profile will replace any existing variations/options in the connected listings with those in the profile.
Q: Is it possible to edit a listing once it’s connected to a Variations Profile?
A: Yes. Even if a listing is connected to a profile, you can still update its variations/options individually within the “Variations” section. For example, if you have 500 listings with the same variations but need to add an extra option to 10 of them, you can apply the profile to all and manually update those 10.
