Settings are Important
It's tempting to skip straight to listing products — but the settings covered here are what make everything downstream work correctly. Dealers who skip this step are the ones who come back later asking why their prices are wrong or their inventory shows as unavailable.
What happens if you skip this
- Inventory Rules not set → products can show as unavailable even when you have stock.
- Marketplaces not set up properly → unwanted listings could go online or your could oversell.
- Lightspeed not configured → the system won't pull the price & inventory that you expect it to.
The settings that matter most right away
| Setting | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Inventory Rules | Determines Lead Times and what counts as "in stock" |
| eBay & Amazon | Price & Inventory Buffers, Tax, and Disclaimers |
| Lightspeed | Supplier Codes |
📌 Key Point: This article is a map, not the full instructions — see the full Settings & Configurations category for the step-by-step on each one.
