Import has 405 errors and Sets SKU to ASIN

    During Import, the view showed a 405 http error. After restarting the import, it worked. Just though you would want to know about that on.

    The main issue is that the importer is assigning SKUS or using the ASIN as the SKU even though each item imported has a SKU and that SKU was correct on the Import Preview. We have SKU convention that can not be changed. If I try to change the SKU to the product’s actual SKU, WP-Lister warns that the item should be removed from Amazon then relisted. If that is the case, what use is the importer?

    Update: I am trying to run the importer again and now all of the items are returning this message: Couldn’t fetch URL https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DTD4VL8/ – server returned error code 503

    Some are returning that message more than 10 times all with different ASINs.

    Hello zacklawhon.

    I am happy to assist you today.

    The 503 error is an error caused by your host. A 503 error is defined as:

    The Web server (running the Web site) is currently unable to handle the HTTP request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. The implication is that this is a temporary condition which will be alleviated after some delay

    So you will need to contact your host about that error.

    In regards to the importer importing the ASIN as the SKU – you need to use the inventory report import method to have the SKUs assigned as SKUs in WP-Lister. If you use the ASIN import method, the ASIN will be used as the SKU: Import from Amazon

    Kind regards,
    John

    Thanks for the reply John. I did contact the host about the 503 error, they had my requests limited for some reason, that is now resolved.

    As for the other issue, I did use the report method. Half of the items were created with their proper SKUs and the other half was not. I deleted all items that had the ASIN as the SKU and ran the report again. This time again about half of the remaining items were created with their proper SKUs, the others used the ASIN. I can not tell if an error occurred during the import but it looks like it may be related to the 503 error. I will mark this as resolved since I can not duplicate it reliably. If I am able to recreate it or discover the root issue, I will post another issue separately.
