Incompatible Items

An Incompatible item is one that Linnworks cannot link to its inventory.

Due to the limitation of Asp dot net storefront, Linnworks can not create a mapping for items that contain special characters in either the size or colour. This is due to format in which inventorty submissions are submitted in.

At present the only known incompatible character is the double quote. ["]

Before being allowed to link the items these characters will have to be removed.
