Tracked live in Vortex IQ Nerve Centre. How to read it, why it matters, and how to act on it. **Card class:** [Non-Hero](/nerve-centre/overview#card-classes-explained) • **Category:** [Marketplace](/nerve-centre/connectors#connectors-by-type) ## At a glance > **Imported vs Manual Listings** splits your booth catalog by how each item listing was created. The Bonanza Importer mirrors listings from eBay, Amazon, Etsy, and Shopify, while other items are built manually inside Bonanza. The donut shows the share from each source so you can see how much of your catalog depends on the Importer and debug sync issues per source platform. It is a structural view of where your listings come from. | | | | --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **What it counts** | The count of item listings split by creation source: Bonanza Importer (eBay, Amazon, Etsy, Shopify) versus manually created listings. | | **Sample type** | Backend API data from Bonanza, refreshed on the standard data refresh. | | **Why it matters** | Knowing the import-source mix tells you how exposed your catalog is to Importer health. A large imported share means sync problems on one source platform can silently affect many listings. | | **Reading the value** | Read the donut as a share of total listings per source. A growing manual share or a shrinking source slice can signal Importer gaps worth investigating. | | **Currency** | number | | **Time window** | `RT` | | **Alert trigger** | `-` | | **Sentiment key** | `bon_imported_listing_split` | | **Roles** | owner, operations | ## Calculation Vortex IQ groups every item listing in your booth by its creation source and counts the listings in each group, then renders the result as a donut split. Listings brought in through the Bonanza Importer are attributed to their origin platform (eBay, Amazon, Etsy, or Shopify); the remainder are counted as manually created. Because this is a real-time snapshot of the current catalog, the split reflects your booth as it stands now. See the At a glance summary above for what each slice represents and the worked example below for a typical reading. ## Worked example *A representative reading of **Imported vs Manual Listings** for a typical merchant on Bonanza.* On 14 Mar 26 a booth showed 1,200 listings: 760 imported from Shopify, 300 from eBay, and 140 created manually. A week earlier the Shopify slice had been 820, so 60 imported listings had quietly dropped off. The interpretation was an Importer sync gap on the Shopify source rather than a deliberate delisting, and the action was to re-run the Shopify import and confirm the missing items reappeared. Vortex Mind traces the upstream cause, here a stalled Shopify sync, and Ask Viq lets you ask "how many of my listings come from each platform" in plain English. ## Sibling cards merchants should reference together | Card | Why merchants reach for it | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | | [`bon_importer_sync_health`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/bonanza/importer-sync-health) | Listing Health sibling: Importer Sync Health. | | [`bon_total_listings`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/bonanza/total-listings) | Listing Health sibling: Total Listings. | | [`bon_listings_active`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/bonanza/active-listings) | Listing Health sibling: Active Listings. | | [`bon_attribute_completeness`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/bonanza/required-attribute-completeness) | Listing Health sibling: Required-Attribute Completeness. | | [`bon_xc_price_parity`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/bonanza/price-drift-vs-ebay-etsy-via-importer) | Listing Health sibling: Price Drift vs eBay / Etsy via Importer. | ## Reconciling against Bonanza **Where to look in Bonanza's own dashboard:** Open your booth dashboard and review the Importer status area alongside selling and items, where Bonanza shows which listings were brought in by the Importer versus added by hand. Compare the per-source counts there against the donut slices. **Why the Vortex IQ value may legitimately differ:** | Reason | Direction | What to do | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- | ------------------------ | | **Period boundary.** Vortex IQ uses a real-time snapshot of the current catalog by default; Bonanza dashboards may use calendar periods. | Variable | Match the period range. | | **Time zone.** Bonanza uses account time zone; Vortex IQ aligns to merchant reporting time zone. | Marginal | Confirm time zone match. | | **Filter scope.** Profile-level filters (booth, channel, test orders) may narrow the Vortex IQ view. | Variable | Match filter settings. | **Cross-connector reconciliation:** complement with sibling cards in the same category for the full diagnostic picture. For divergence investigations, use Vortex Mind. ## Known limitations / merchant FAQs **Q: How often does Imported vs Manual Listings update?** It is a real-time snapshot that refreshes on the standard data refresh, typically every 30 to 60 minutes. Force a manual refresh from the dashboard if you need the split recomputed immediately. **Q: Why does my Bonanza dashboard show a different number?** The usual reasons are period-boundary differences (Vortex IQ uses a current-catalog snapshot versus Bonanza's calendar views), time-zone alignment, and filter scope (profile-level versus Bonanza's all-booth view). Match these before assuming a real divergence. **Q: A source slice shrank without my doing. What happened?** A falling import slice usually points to an Importer sync gap on that source platform rather than a deliberate change. Cross-check Importer Sync Health and re-run the affected import. **Q: Can I customise the alert threshold?** Yes, sensitivity thresholds are configurable per profile in the Sensitivity tab. Adjust to match your business baseline rather than relying on the generic default. *** ### Tracked live in Vortex IQ Nerve Centre *Imported vs Manual Listings* is one of hundreds of KPI pulses Vortex IQ tracks across Bonanza and 70+ other ecommerce connectors.
