Creating a Big Commerce listing for a variant product

Overview

This guide covers how to create a BigCommerce listing for a variation product in StoreFeeder.

Before you begin

You need an existing product created in StoreFeeder before you can create a listing. You can create simple products or variation products from the Products section.

Creating a BigCommerce variant listing

1. Open your product in StoreFeeder and select Listings from the left-hand menu. Select the green New Listing button.

1. Select your BigCommerce channel from the list.

1. The Listing Details page opens. The SKU, Product Name, Price, Brand, and RRP are pre-filled from your product. Fill in any remaining fields and select the Meta & Keywords tab.

Additional fields on this page:

• Sale Price — If the item is on sale, enter the sale price here.
• Cost Price — For reference only; not visible on the listing.
• Tax Class — The tax class ID from BigCommerce. Tax classes must be set up in BigCommerce first.
• Identifier — The product barcode. Auto-filled if a barcode exists on the product.
• Avalara Product Code — AvaTax system codes for special sales tax categories.
• Max Inventory — Maximum stock shown on the listing regardless of actual inventory in StoreFeeder.
• Availability — Controls listing visibility: visible, pre-sale, or unavailable.
• Availability Description — Shown on the checkout page to indicate dispatch time.
• Oversell — Allows the listing to stay live past zero inventory.
• Free Shipping — Sets the listing to offer free shipping.
• Fixed Shipping Cost — Overrides the standard shipping cost calculation.
• Keep Listing URL — When set to On, retains the last URL generated by BigCommerce.
• Is Featured — When set to On, displays the listing in the featured products section.

Inventory type settings

• Inventory + Oversell — Uses product inventory plus oversell amount.
• Inventory + Oversell + Priority Supplier Inventory — Adds the priority supplier's inventory.
• Inventory + Oversell + Sum Of Suppliers Inventory — Adds all supplier inventory.

You can set what percentage of the selected inventory type to use.

You do not need to select Save & Upload when moving between listing tabs.

1. On the Meta & Keywords tab, set meta keywords, meta description, page title, and search keywords. When adding keywords, type the keyword followed by a comma and a space.
2. Select the Variants tab.

1. Set the attribute value names for each variant attribute set (for example, Size and Colour). Select the attribute name from the drop-down menu. Attribute sets must be created on your BigCommerce website before they can be added to the listing.
2. Select Edit Images to assign images to specific variants and set a main listing image.

1. Select the Categories tab.

1. Set the BigCommerce categories for the listing. You can assign multiple categories per listing. Categories must be created on BigCommerce and imported into StoreFeeder from your BigCommerce integration settings page.
2. Select the Description tab.

1. Enter a description for the listing. If your product already has a description in StoreFeeder, it is pre-filled here but can be edited.
2. To upload immediately, select Save and Upload. To process in the background while you continue working, select Save and Queue For Upload.
