A rule missing Spartoo category, Product type, or Gender is incomplete. The export skips it.


Simulation lists products the rule will apply to, before you save.


On this screen you may also see Spartoo values in tabs when you sell in more than one language. Switching a tab only changes the labels.


Order of the rules


Rules are read in the order they were created. The first complete rule that matches is the only one used. A product is not listed twice.


Put narrow rules before broad ones. If Product type is Shoes is above Product type contains Shoe, the second rule never sees a plain “Shoes” product.


A product that matches nothing


It is not exported. Reports shows that for the run. On Products, Synchro is No until a rule places it. If an expected product never reaches Spartoo, check first that a rule covers it.


If you have no category rule at all, Products shows: Your products cannot be exported to Spartoo yet: a product is only sent once a category rule places it in a Spartoo category, and you have no category rule. The link is Create a category rule.
