Where things often go wrong in commercetools.
Attributes with the wrong constraint
Target group and material are the same for all variants; with SameForAll, they are stored once per product. Photopilot fills them in at the level required by your product type.
Enum values that do not exist
A lenum attribute only accepts the keys it knows. Photopilot fills target group and color with your own keys.
Locales that remain empty
A LocalizedString with only Dutch leaves other shops empty. Photopilot fills every locale in the project.
