Where things often go wrong in LS Central / LS Retail.
Attribute values with different names per store
Red, red, and Red/dark make the filter unusable. Photopilot uses one fixed picklist and writes those values to the item attributes.
Variants without a readable color
In the Variant Framework, color is often a code. Photopilot adds a color family alongside it to feed the webshop filter.
Online-only items
If inventory is only in the online store location, Photopilot applies the Web only label and removes it when store inventory is added.
