Overview
When integrated with Magento, Sellercloud submits Listing updates on a regular basis. Once a price, quantity, or listing availability is changed, you can update the respective data on Magento either manually or automatically by configuring the related setting options from the product’s Magento Properties page.
Update Magento Listings
You can force product updates on a channel for single and multiple products manually, automatically, or via file import. See the subsections below for step-by-step instructions.
