# Switch Sync Mode Tipo Sync offers **two sync modes**. Choosing the right one depends on whether you manage **one Shopify store** or **multiple stores**. ### โ„น๏ธ Quick definition **๐Ÿช Single store sync** Sync happens inside one Shopify store to automate how products/inventory are managed within that store. Typical features in this mode include: * Inventory Sync Groups * Bundle Groups * Reports / analytics for syncing activity Use it when you have only one store and want to keep inventory or bundles organized automatically. *** **๐Ÿ” Between stores sync (Multi-store sync)** Sync happens between two or more Shopify stores. In this mode you will usually have: * **Source store** = the main store where you manage products * **Destination store(s)** = stores that receive synced products/inventory. Typical features in this mode include: * Connect stores (Source โ†” Destination) * Product sync (import new products, sync existing ones, mapping) * Inventory sync between stores (one-way or two-way) * Order sync (depending on your setup) * Email notifications Use it when you have **multiple Shopify stores** and need to copy/update data across them. *** ### ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ When should I use each mode? **Choose Single store sync if you:** * have one Shopify store * want to automate inventory updates and bundle behaviors inside the same store * donโ€™t need to connect to another store **Choose Between stores sync if you:** * run multiple Shopify stores (regional stores, wholesale + retail, multiple brands) * want to push products from one store to another * want inventory or orders to stay aligned across stores *** ### ๐Ÿ”€ Key differences TopicSingle store syncBetween stores sync Number of stores 1 store 2+ stores Setup No store connection needed Must connect Source + Destination Main goal Automate inventory/bundles within one store Keep products/inventory/orders synced across stores Product creation Not focused on cross-store import Can import/sync products between stores Inventory Groups & automation in the same store Location mapping + one-way/two-way sync Best for One-store merchants Multi-store merchants, wholesalers *** ### ๐Ÿ”„ Switch from Single-store to Multi-store Mode Use this mode if you want to **sync data across multiple stores**. 1.
