What is a profile and how to create them?
A profile is a list of settings that contains all the configurations for uploading your Shopify product to the eBay marketplace. You can create a profile while uploading products, and there are different configurations for uploading them. Once you have created a profile, you can select from the existing one, which helps you save time.
How to create a Profile?
- Once you select the Shopify products/collections to upload, you will be redirected to a page where you can create or choose a profile.
- If you have already created a profile, you will see this option to choose the profile. If you don't see it, don't worry; you can once it is created.
- Existing profiles show the list of previously created profiles.
Business Policies
When uploading a listing to eBay, you will need to set up business policies. These include Shipping Policy, Payment Policy, and Return Policy. If you don't have these policies or want to create new ones, you can click on the link in the banner to be redirected to a page on eBay where you can set up your policies. After creating your policies on eBay, click on "Re-fetch Policies."
This is eBay's dashboard where you can create business policies.
Category and its attributes
In the categories section, you must select a category in which the products you have selected will be listed on eBay. So, choose your categories carefully. Here, you can search your categories with a keyword and scroll down to load more.
Once you have selected a category, you will be shown the conditions and attribute mapping required for that specific category. Some Categories on eBay might not need any conditions or attribute mapping.
While selecting the attribute mappings, some of the attributes might be multiple-selected, and some might be single-selected, so depending on the type, please select the attribute. Here you can select from the list given by eBay so you can map it to the listed Shopify attribute.
Depending on the attribute, you can also add custom attributes that are not suggested by eBay and cannot be mapped to Shopify's attribute. To do so, you can simply type the custom attribute. The screenshot below shows John Doe as a custom attribute. Once you click on the Add option, the attribute will be selected, and you can deselect it in the future.
Price Setting
Price setting options let you increase the price of the products you upload to eBay by a fixed amount or by a percentage. Select wisely and change the price that best suits your needs.
Title Setting
While uploading products to eBay, if you want to add a prefix or a suffix to Shopify's product title, Title Setting will be helpful. You can enable this checkbox and set the required prefix and suffix.
If you do not want to sync the title, price, or description, leave these sync settings unchecked. However, if you want to sync every change made to these attributes, then check these settings.
What is the profile name?
Once you have filled out all the details in the profile, you can save the settings with a profile name. These settings can be used for automatically selecting the profile with the same setting for the next time you upload again to eBay. Please make to give a proper name explaining the configurations you have set. Once you fill it out, you can proceed to upload the products.
