Missing name in the variation specifics or variation specifics set

You may want to update your selling products by adding more variations at some point. For example, we have one color of lipstick listed on Etsy. After adding a new color, only one variant will be Linked in the Selling list. Updating the product from the Selling List will result in an Update Error status.

By checking the logs we can find the following error:

Missing name in the variation specifics or variation specifics set

To resolve this, the product must be removed from Etsy and listed again. Etsy restricts the ability to update variation structure (adding or removing variants).

There might be a case when Shopify and Etsy have the same number of variants, but some variants were changed. In this case, use the "Update" action instead of "Update QTY & Price". Salestio will update the existing Etsy variations and resume the background sync.
