Constructing Our Latest Feature: The Auctiva Multi-Variation Tool

0

Last month, we told you we were working to support eBay’s multi-variation feature, and I’m happy to report that now you are able to create multi-variation listings through Auctiva!

In fact, several of our customers are already using our software to create multi-variation listings. As someone who worked on the development side of our Multi-Variation Tool, it’s very exciting to see our customers using it.

When we first decided to support multi-variations, we took a good look at eBay’s process for creating these listings. It requires multiple clicks of the mouse to add variations. Our first thought was, “How can we make this easier for our users?” After all, Auctiva is known for simplifying, and speeding, the listing process.

Our solution? To integrate multi-variations with the current listing process our users go through. We’ve given users the ability to add multi-variations to a listing right from our One-Page Lister if they choose a category that supports multi-variations. To add a variation, users simply click our link to go to our Multi-Variation Tool, where they can decide if they’ll create variations manually or with our Variation Generator. The Variation Generator was designed so that you can quickly create and edit your multi-variations. It can greatly reduce users’ workloads by producing up to 120 variations at once.

If you haven’t already, we encourage you to take a look at our Multi-Variation Tool—especially if you sell a lot of the same items in different sizes, colors, etc. It’s not only a time saver; it can also be a money saver.

Few third-party developers support multi-variations because it’s a complex feature that requires a lot of resources to develop for, but that didn’t stop us. And we think we’ve achieved our goal of providing users with not only the ability to create multi-variation listings, but a better way to do so.

You can read more about our new Multi-Variation Tool in our Auctiva EDU article.

Enjoy the new feature!
