Overview
With Flxpoint's Publish tool, you are able to create new sale listings on your sales platform. Once the listings are created, you can maintain and update the listings using our Overwrite feature.
Terminology
- Publish: To create brand-new listings on your sales platform.
- Overwrite: To update "static" product data fields on your sales platform. Static data = images, titles, descriptions, brand, categories, options, and attributes.
- Dynamic Data: Pricing and quantity are "dynamic" data fields. Any pricing and quantity updates flow through automatically and do not require the Publish / Overwrite tool.
Link Listings Tool
Looking to connect to your existing sale listings instead of creating new ones? Use our Link Listings tool! Flxpoint can connect to your existing listings based on key identifiers (such as SKU, UPC, MPN or ASIN). See here for more information.

Troubleshooting
| 1. The Publish / Overwrite button is greyed out. Why? |
| To access the Publish / Overwrite button, you must first select the listings you would like to publish or overwrite. |
| 2. I published my listings. Why aren't they on my store? |
|
There may be a variety of reasons your listings did not import into your channel. This could be due to a marketplace's restrictions, connection issues, or general error messages. Start troubleshooting by navigating to: Channels >>> Publish Listings Integration for Desired Channel >>> Recent Notifications at the bottom of the screen Here you should see any error messages from the channel. |
| 3. I'm seeing a red triangle on the Channel Listings Screen. How do I resolve this? |
|
The red triangle icon is a Failure Notice. If you commit an action (such as Publish / Overwrite) and we are unable to finish the action for whatever reason, this icon will appear. Hover over the Failure Notice for more information and a direct link to the affected Channel. This notification will go away after the next successful action committed. |
