Updating Magento Attributes in Bulk.
Navigate Inventory > Import Product Info > Import Magento Attributes. Download template populate and import. 
  • Use the attribute_code to fill in the Attribute Name column, or use the numerical ID to fill in the AttributeID column. This ensures that the correct attribute column is being updated (as two display names are sometime identical). 
To list on Magento:
Make sure the Magento Enabled box is checked. Select Post Product on Magento on the Action Menu and click GO. 
You can post it from the Manage inventory page by selecting product(s) and clicking Launch on Magento on the Action Menu.

To list variations on Magento: 

In Magento you need to create an attribute for each drop-down list of options that you want the matrix to have. Once you do this, or if you have one already created, you need to add it to the attribute set you plan to use for the product in SellerCloud. 

Based on the attribute name, create the N-Matrix in SellerCloud.

All children and the parent must be enabled and ready in SellerCloud. Then you will post the parent to Magento which will send the children with it.
