Shopify Product Syncing
When syncing information from a Sellers ecommerce platform, to Convictional and through to the Buying partner there may be some considerations that need to be made on which product fields contain what information. This may need to be done for merchandising or procedural purposes. We have outlined where each fields syncs and on what basis.
Initial Sync:
After a product has been selected by the Buyer it will sync to their platform as long as it has been priced by the Seller. During the initial sync all product information that is showing in the Convictional dashboard will be pushed to your ecommerce platform except for any columns in the charts below that indicate they are 'not synced'. The only product details that are updated in real time are Inventory and Price. Changes made to either of those fields by the Seller will be reflected on the Buyers platform on our next platform sync (which occurs every hour).

Ongoing Syncing:
As mentioned above, only product inventory (more on inventory syncing here) and price will continue to update after the initial selection process. Any time a product change is made by the Seller to a detail that is not one of the aforementioned fields, the Buyer will need to manually update these details on their end. Most ecommerce platforms will have an option to do this via bulk editor, or by using a CSV file if the buying and selling partners are on the same platform.
