How to fix: Mismatched brand for same variant

Edit the brand name so that it matches the other variants of your product

In this article

Why this issue is happening

Two or more of your products use the same item group ID [item_group_id], but do not appear to be variants of the same product, as they do not have the same value for other grouping attributes, such as brand [brand].

How to fix your issue

To fix this issue, submit a value for brand [brand] attribute that matches the other variants in this group.

To ensure that each of your products shows correctly, only group products that are variants of the same product and make sure the attributes for those products are consistent. You can create additional item group IDs for different products.
