- Select a Magento Attribute Set. Attributes that have been created and linked to that attribute set on Magento will display on the Magento properties page beneath the standard attributes. Attribute sets are downloaded into SellerCloud on the Magento General Settings page. See below for updating attributes in bulk. You can also map attributes from SellerCloud to Magento using the Magento Attributes Mapping Page.

- The Stock is Available checkbox is enabled by default and must remain enabled for the product to display on the front end of your Magento website.

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 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.
