    How do I ensure that the plugin only synchronizes products for which all variants have availability?

    Hello @daveverzijl,

    Thank you for reaching out!

    How do I ensure that the plugin only synchronizes products for which all variants have availability?

    Sorry, I’m not sure if I get the full picture. By default, the plugin only syncs variable products when all attributes have a value, meaning none are left as ‘Any variation.’

    Is that what you meant? :‎)

    Look forward to hearing back from you.

    That;s not what I meant 🙂

    Example stock availability:

    VARIABLE PRODUCT A has
    3 x VARIANT AA
    6 x VARIANT AB
    4 x VARIANT AC
    3 x VARIANT AD

    This product is OK!

    VARIABLE PRODUCT B has
    0 x VARIANT AA
    3 x VARIANT AB
    3 x VARIANT AC
    1 x VARIANT AD

    This product is NOT OK.

    In this case I would need an option to deactivate the VARIABLE PRODUCT from being synchronized to Meta.

    Alternatively I would need an option to filter on a value in Meta Commerce Manager to filter out VARIABLE PRODUCTS that have 1 or more VARIANTS with 0 stock.

    By default, only the out-of-stock variation will be removed if you have enabled this option in WooCommerce → Settings → Inventory.

    If you’re working with thousands of products, one workaround you can try is exporting all products via the CSV importer. Then, modify the meta values ‘_wc_facebook_sync_enabled‘ of product you want to remove from the catalogue from ‘yes‘ to ‘no‘ before reimporting the file again.

    Alternatively, you can work with a WooExpert to help you build a custom solution to change the plugin’s default behaviour.

    Let us know if you have any other questions!

    In e-commerce, it is common practice not to advertise fashion items if one or more sizes are not available. Unfortunately, the plugin currently does not provide any option to pre-filter or transmit information to Meta, enabling the filtering out of these items in Meta Commerce Manager. This means that I am currently advertising products for which one or more sizes are no longer available, leading to a waste of my advertising budget by directing people to my site who subsequently discover that their size is unavailable. In my opinion, this should be a standard feature. Why is it not a feature?
