Hi AutoDS Team,
I’d like to request a feature that allows products with only one available variant to be imported as a Single Variant Item, even when the supplier product page technically still contains a variation structure.
At the moment, if a supplier has a variation such as Colour: Black, AutoDS retains that variation during import even when Black is the only available option. There is currently no way to remove that unnecessary variation and convert the product into a standard single-item listing.
This causes a genuine issue for eBay sellers because eBay does not allow Best Offer on variation listings. As a result, a product with only one possible option unnecessarily loses important listing functionality simply because the supplier still has a variation key attached to it.
I have already tried:
Upload Variations: OFF
Split Variants Into Products: ON
However, the product still imports as a variation listing.
AutoDS already recognises some products as “Single Variant Item”, so it would be extremely useful to have either:
Automatic conversion when only one variant exists, or
A manual “Convert to Single Variant Item” option in Drafts.
Example:
Product A has one remaining option, Colour: Black, and AutoDS imports it as a variation.
Product B also has only one option, but AutoDS correctly imports it as Single Variant Item.
Both should be able to behave the same way.
This would improve compatibility with eBay listing features, simplify listings, and prevent sellers from losing functionality for no practical reason.
Please consider adding this feature.
