Syncing Data #

We have made the process of syncing data a one button operation. You can simply choose what you want to synchronize and our program will take care of it. You can import and/or export items, categories, tags, or just sync inventory data. This can be accomplished from store configuration as shown below by choosing your options and clicking sync.

NOTE: This process can take a LONG time; especially for the initial sync depending on how much data you have.

By default it synchronizes all items, categories, and tags. NOTE: You can exclude items by unchecking the box “Is Ecommerce Item” when editing/creating an item.
