Sticky Skip saves whether a product should send updates to a particular channel instance. One-time options apply to the current action; the Always options remain on the product for future actions.
Skipping an update does not remove a listing already on a marketplace. To end a listing, use the appropriate channel action and verify its result.
Choose the right option
| Option | Effect |
|---|---|
| Skip Once | Skip this channel for the current action without replacing the saved sticky setting. |
| Send Once | Allow this action to reach the channel without replacing the saved sticky setting. It does not clear a saved stock-only or price-only skip; use Always Send to clear those saved restrictions. |
| Always Send | Save the setting to send future updates and clear saved stock/price skip restrictions, subject to the channel's normal rules and any one-time skips. |
| Always Skip | Save the setting to skip this channel for this and future actions unless overridden. |
| Always Skip Stock | Save a request to omit stock updates while allowing other supported updates. |
| Always Skip Price | Save a request to omit price updates while allowing other supported updates. |
| Always Skip Stock/Price | Save a request to omit both stock and price while allowing other supported updates. |
Set a channel default
- Open Channels, choose the intended instance, and open Settings.
- Find Default Product Skip, choose the desired persistent option, and save the settings. Some integrations expose their settings under the plugin settings screen.
The default is used when the workflow applies a channel default. Existing products can retain their own saved skip settings. Use a product edit or bulk update when you need to explicitly change existing products.
Set a product's skip behavior
- Open the product editor.
- Find the skip control for the intended channel instance and choose the required one-time or Always option.
- Review the other channel skips, then submit the intended product action. The choice takes effect when the action is submitted.
- For a persistent change, reopen the product and check the saved option. Check the action result and marketplace when confirming what was sent.
Use skip values in bulk
The header combines the channel prefix, optional instance number, and skip: ebayskip for the primary eBay instance, ebay2skip for eBay 2, amznskip for the primary Amazon instance, amzn3skip for Amazon 3, and walmart2skip for Walmart 2.
Accepted values are skipOnce, sendOnce, alwaysSend, alwaysSkip, alwaysSkipStock, alwaysSkipPrice, and alwaysSkipStockPrice. Values are case-insensitive. TRUE and FALSE are the one-time equivalents of Skip Once and Send Once; they do not persist a new Always setting.
Example CSV for an account with these instances:
action,guid,price,stock,ebayskip,amzn2skip,walmart3skip edit,example-sku,5.54,22,skipOnce,alwaysSkip,alwaysSend
This updates the SureDone product, skips the primary eBay instance once, saves Always Skip for Amazon 2, and saves Always Send for Walmart 3. Other channels follow their applicable settings; add explicit skip columns for any others you intend to exclude.
Stock and price exceptions
Partial skips depend on the integration and action. They are not a promise that every channel request omits every stock or price field: creating a listing or updating variations can require fields that a normal update can omit. Test the intended workflow on one suitable product and check the channel result before applying it broadly.
Use alwaysSend to remove a saved partial skip. sendOnce leaves the saved setting in place and may still respect its stock/price restriction. If you need to prevent every update to a channel, choose Skip Once or Always Skip instead of a partial skip.
