Best Practice to Update Product to Use Dif Aliexpress SKU?

Hello,

I’m sure this is a common enough occurrence, however I’d like to hear how everyone is handling this.

Scenario: Import product using ali2woo. Stock is depleted or perhaps sale ended or whatever situation on Aliexpress causes you to want to select a different vendor to sell the product through (same product diff vendor). I’ve tested just swapping the SKU, it works to an extent though I imagine on a product with variation this could cause an issue.

Is there a better way than to delete the product & reimport the product from the new vendor?

Thanks!

Hello, please check the following article: https://ali2woo.com/codex/how-to-change-the-product-supplier/

After synchronization – old variants are deleted or leave in your product, it depends on the settings you choose: see a screenshot

Let me know if this information helps you.

By the way in the latest plugin release, we added a feature that changes product SKU automatically.
It generates a random code instead of the imported product and its variations. You can see new SKU codes right in the Import List.
