Multi-variation sync with WooCommerce

[4WDABC]

What's the deal on syncing products with variations between Square and WooCommerce?

For example, we sell hoodies: six colours, eight sizes (SM to 5XL), and four styles (pull-over and zip-up, with or without glow-in-the-dark).

In WC, I created a "variable" product for Zip-Up w/Glow, and then created the 48 variations... gave each its own unique SKU too. But Woo tells me the product "has multiple variation attributes and cannot be synced with Square."

I can create them in Square as well, with all the same options: selection of six colours and eight sizes, each with a unique SKU. But it won't sync them from Square to Woo. It doesn't give an error or anything, it just doesn't sync. (I read elsewhere that the WC store might have to be empty??)

Is this going to be possible at all, or will I have to create them as 192 separate "simple" products in my Woo store? Or do I just need to limit the product to one attribute type (for example, variations for 8 sizes, and the a separate product for each colour)?

Hey @4WDABC, welcome aboard the Seller Community. Congrats on your first post with us, we're so happy to have you here with us. 🥳

When you integrate your Square account with WooCommerce, your in-person and web business is synced so you can accept payments offline or online and manage the whole picture of your business on one centralized platform. This includes your inventory, which should sync over from your Square inventory over to your WooCommerce website. Syncing shouldn't be an issue, so it is odd that your items aren't syncing at all. 

Since WooCommerce is the owner of the integration, I'd recommend getting in contact with them directly as they would have better visibility on the backend of the integration. You can submit a ticket with their Support team.

 If for some reason they are unable to help, do let me know. I'd be happy to take another look if the issue is ongoing.
