Troubleshoot product variant errors 

1. Error: "Each variant group ID can only show up to 1,000 items on site. Please ensure your group has a maximum of 999 items."

What should I do?

Remove items from the group, or separate the group into two groups that meet the item limit. Learn how to  manage a variant group.  


2. Error: "Multiple items have the same values for their variant attributes. Please provide unique values or add more product variations to ensure your items are shown on site." 


What should I do?

Update the attributes. Each item in your catalog must have unique attribute information in order to be sold as a unique item on Walmart.com. You can do either of the following:   

  1. Make sure that the Product Variation values are unique. For example, if two bath towel items have the same Color value, such as Blue, update one of the values to Navy blue.   

  2. Add more Product Variation values to further differentiate the items. For example, if two T-shirt items have the same Color value, such as Red, add a Size value to each item. For example, item A could be Red/Small and item B could be Red/Medium.
