What is Attribute Sync and How to Configure It

Sync Options

When syncing attributes, you can customize each attribute's sync direction to whatever makes more sense for your day-to-day operations. We currently offer two syncing modes:

  • Unidirectional Sync: Only one of your two platforms is the master for each attribute. With this option, only changes made in the master platform sync across.

  • Bidirectional Sync: There is no master platform, and changes made on both POS and eCommerce are synced across.

You can have different attributes set to sync in different directions. For example, I can have titles syncing unidirectionally from POS to eCommerce, while descriptions sync unidirectionally from eComerce to POS, and prices syncing bi-directionally.What is Attribute Sync and How to Configure It (11)
