 * Hey guys,
 * Iam building a b2b shop with different stuff but also boots.
 * Those boots have 2 filter to choose the product. The usual known size and the
   shaft size.
    There are about 2300+ variations with these possible options. I 
   automatically import them with WPAllImport, so they should be all imported. But
   when I go into the variations in the backend, it says, it has only 587 variations.
   Is there a maximum amount woocommerce can work with?
 * Do you have ideas how I can work that out?

 * I’m not aware of an actual limit, but working with thousands of variations in
   a single product generally isn’t recommended due to performance issues.
 * In order for us to figure out why only a portion of the variations imported, 
   we’ll need to check the import settings and data. Please replicate the import
   on a sandbox site at [http://www.wpallimport.com/debug/](http://www.wpallimport.com/debug/)
   and open a support request at [http://www.wpallimport.com/support/](http://www.wpallimport.com/support/)
   with the sandbox site URL and a brief description of the issue.

 * Hey,
 * I wrote it a bit wrong, sorry. I hope you understand it like:
 * All variations are imported, but only ~3% of them have stock in them. But instead
   of importing only the boots which have a stock, we want WooCommerce to have all
   variations, so we only need to update the stock. So we only need 2 columns in
   the future to update it. unique ID and stock.
 * But on the page of the product it shows all variation combinations. When I choose
   them, it’s most likely, they aren’t available. I unchecked the box from WooCommerce
   to hide out of stock products. So I don’t know why this isn’t working.

 * This is related to the WooCommerce AJAX variation threshold. Please see: [https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/developers/code-snippets/#fix-missing-options-in-the-attributes-dropdown-for-variable-products](https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/developers/code-snippets/#fix-missing-options-in-the-attributes-dropdown-for-variable-products).
   Just keep in mind that loading more variations will make your product page slower.
