Hi there,
First of all, thank you for your plugin, it’s very powerful and useful! Anyway, unfortunately, I’m having an issue regarding CSV automatic import via URL (set under Settings). Well, the issue is the following: when the store is automatically updated via the CSV file at a specific import start time, some product variations are still present in the front-end of this product, even if these variations don’t exist in the CSV file and also even if I’ve checked “Delete existing products” that are not present in the CSV. Seems that this option only works for products and not for variations, even if variations are, more or less, products too. So, please let me know if I’m missing something, and also if the “Merge products if exist” option could do the correct job.
