Title: Multiple Variation Sync Issue Last modified: November 3, 2022 --- # Multiple Variation Sync Issue * Resolved [Encify](https://wordpress.org/support/users/damiafaw/) * (@damiafaw) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-variation-sync-issue/) * Reading the other support requests and Square’s documentation, it seems that Square is not interested in resolving the failure of syncing products if they have multiple variations. * Are the developers at Square not able to concatenate the fields into one attribute automatically to make it work with Square syncing…or just support more than one variation? * This seems to be extremely silly from a retail woocommerce store perspective? Especially for one that sells different coloured clothing and sizes. * Square documentation states to create them together when you add the items to your store, ie….black-small to create a single variation, rather than Colour and then Size like a regular store. * I am sure this use to work before – as the store has old information there from the last trade event we attended before covid lockdowns. * But now I am not sure if we can use Square for the business/trade event as I cant get products to sync.

It syncs 65 products with one attribute and finishes syncing, but missing the other 100+ products that also have variations because of two attributes. * [anastas10s](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anastas10s/) * (@anastas10s) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-variation-sync-issue/#post-16159831) * Hi there [@damiafaw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/damiafaw/) 👋 * From what I gather, a sync issue appears when trying to sync products with multiple variations to Square. * First-up, feel free to check out the related [documentation on sync issues (directly linked here)](https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-square/#section-43). * More specifically, kindly review the [“Why can’t I sync products with multiple attributes?” section, which is directly linked here](https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-square/#section-30). * I trust that points you in the right direction, but if you have more questions, let us know. We’re happy to help. * Thread Starter [Encify](https://wordpress.org/support/users/damiafaw/) * (@damiafaw) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-variation-sync-issue/#post-16160539) * Initially Square was stuck syncing when re-activated – disconnected and reconnected to square and it only synnced 60 odd products * Then started investigating, saw all the support questions here and led me to the snippet you posted * > Why can’t I sync products with multiple attributes? > Unlike WooCommerce, Square > does not support multiple attributes. If you would like to sync multiple attributes > from WooCommerce to Square, consider combining attributes into one product > variation – for example, instead of a “color” attribute and a “size” attribute( > e.g. black or blue and small or large), combine the two in your product variations( > e.g. black-small, black-large, blue-small, blue-large). * This isnt generally how stores are configured – can you imagine how large a store’s website/scrolling would be if every single variation, especially when they go up to 3 variations even, would become? * Why can a Developer for square, just concatenate the attributes into a single onoe – I had to do that and uploaded the file manually, pretty simple…it cant be that hard to do the same with the square service directly….so I dont have to do it manually. - This reply was modified 3 years, 5 months ago by [Encify](https://wordpress.org/support/users/damiafaw/). * [Igor H](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ihereira/) * (@ihereira) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-variation-sync-issue/#post-16160899) * Hi, * I can understand your point, at this time, Square does not syn product with more than 1 attribute. * There is a feature request related to this, you can check it [here](https://woocommerce.com/feature-request/allow-square-to-support-multiple-attributes-for-products/), I understand this is not what you are looking for, but you can vote for this feature, that way the developers may consider implementing it. * Let us know if there are any questions.
