What Happens When Publishing Fails?

When you attempt to publish a product and the channel returns an error:

You can access it from:

Products → Action Required → Listing Errors


This section displays:

  • The affected channel

  • The exact error message

  • Quick actions to fix or republish


How to Fix a Listing Error

Step 1: Open the Error

In the Listing Errors section:

  • Click the channel icon with the error indicator

  • Or click How to fix?

This opens the Quick Editor, where you can:

  • View the exact channel error message

  • See an overview of the mapping template

  • Review the data being sent to the channel

  • Identify missing or invalid fields

  • Make quick corrections


After fixing the issue:

Click Save & Republish


Using AI “How to Fix” (Recommended)

From Products → Listing Errors, click How to fix? next to the error.


The AI will:

  • Explain the issue in clear terms

  • Identify the exact missing or incorrect fields
