Overview of the Status Manager

Updated April 2026 · Status Manager

Overview

The Status Manager is your command center for monitoring and controlling the status and inventory of your listings across every connected platform - all from one place. Instead of logging into each marketplace separately to check if your products are live, you get a clear, unified view of everything happening across your catalog.

📝

Note: The Status Manager keeps inventory and status aligned between platforms only for listings that are linked to a Master Product. If a listing was imported but couldn't be auto-linked, it won't sync with its counterparts until you resolve it in Link Products > Listings That Need Attention. It's worth clearing that tab before you rely on the Status Manager.

What You'll See

The Status Manager uses a two-level grouped table. The left side shows your product information, and the right side groups columns by platform.

Products group (left columns):

Selector - a checkbox for selecting listings for bulk actions
Photo - a thumbnail image of the product
Master Product Name - the unified product name as it appears in LinkSyncSell
Variant SKU - the SKU for this specific product variant

Platform groups (right columns):

There's one group of columns for each platform you've connected. Each platform group shows:

Page URL - a direct link to the listing on that marketplace
Product Status - the computed status for that listing (more on this below)
Inventory - the current stock count for this variant on that platform
Actions - buttons to edit or publish the listing

Platform-specific columns:

Some platforms have additional columns beyond the standard set:

Shopify only: Sell When Out of Stock - a toggle that controls whether Shopify keeps accepting orders after inventory hits zero
Faire only: Variant Status - shows whether a specific variant is Visible or Hidden on that platform
Amazon only: Fulfillment - shows how each variant is fulfilled. Displays either Amazon (Fulfilled by Amazon / FBA - Amazon stores the inventory in its own warehouses and handles shipping) or Merchant (Fulfilled by Merchant / FBM - the seller stores and ships the product themselves). This affects fee calculations.

Understanding Computed Statuses

Every marketplace uses slightly different language for their listing statuses. LinkSyncSell translates all of them into a consistent set of statuses so you can understand what's happening at a glance - regardless of which platform you're looking at.

Here are the key statuses you'll see:

Active - the listing is live and available to buy
Active-Sold Out - the listing is live, but inventory has reached zero
Inactive - the listing has been deactivated or archived
Draft - the listing exists but hasn't been published yet
Local Draft - the product exists in LinkSyncSell but has not been pushed to the platform yet
Pending - the listing is awaiting platform review (TikTok Shop)
Reviewing - the listing is waiting for platform review (TikTok Shop only)
Suspended-Failed / Suspended-Frozen - the listing has been suspended by the platform (TikTok Shop only)
Deleted - the listing has been deleted (TikTok Shop and Faire)
N/A - no status is available, typically for parent products on Amazon where variants may differ

Some statuses are platform-specific and are shown exactly as they come from the platform.

When to Use the Status Manager

The Status Manager is the right place when you want to:

Check that all your listings went live after publishing changes
Bulk activate or deactivate listings across one or more platforms
Update inventory counts in one place
Spot listings that are in Draft, Sold Out, or error states
Monitor the overall health of your catalog across all marketplaces

Troubleshooting

A platform column isn't showing.

The platform may not be connected yet. Go to Catalog > Connect Platforms to link it. If the platform is connected, try clicking the column management button to make sure that platform's columns are set to visible.

Statuses look wrong or out of date.

Try clicking the Fetch Platform Inventory/Status button to pull the latest data from your platforms. If the issue persists, check the Process Log for any sync errors.
