When a scan finishes sooner than expected, the first thing to check is the scan status. A scan can complete normally, stop early, expire from the queue, or process fewer products because of the way the source page exposes product data.
Check the scan status first
Open search History and check where the scan is listed.
In Progress: the scan is still running, paused, or queued.
Completed: the scan finished, stopped, expired, or moved out of the queue.
Saved or Scheduled: the search setup was saved or scheduled but may not be running now.
In TA Lite, searches can remain in the system for up to 72 hours from the time they are queued before expiring and moving to Completed. TA Lite also has active and queued search limits, so check whether the scan was waiting in the queue.
If the scan processed fewer products than the category shows
This often points to the source URL or the way the website loads products. Some sites use pagination, infinite scroll, load-more buttons, or dynamic pages that do not expose the full category cleanly.
Try a smaller subcategory, a cleaner category URL, or a less filtered source page. If a smaller category works, split the original scan into several focused scans instead of one large scan.
If the scan finished almost instantly
Check whether the scan used cache only, whether the URL contains products visible without login, and whether the product list or file contains usable product data. A scan that finishes immediately often means TA did not find products it could read from the page or file.
For Wholesale Search
Check the uploaded file before re-running. Make sure the list includes clear product titles, prices, and product identifiers such as UPC, ASIN, ISBN, or EAN when available. During upload, review the column names and correct the mapping before starting the scan.
For matching settings
In TA Classic, review settings such as UPC Sites and Products Only and Also Check UPC Products for Image Matches. These settings can change how TA attempts to match products, especially when products have or do not have UPC data.
When to contact support
Contact support if the same source always stops at the same point, a clean category URL still scans only a small portion, a wholesale file uploads correctly but scans almost nothing, or Watch Logs shows repeated errors.
Be sure to include your scan details and scan logs so we can analyze it further.
