Switch Sync Mode
Tipo Sync offers two sync modes. Choosing the right one depends on whether you manage one Shopify store or multiple stores.
ℹ️ Quick definition
🏪 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.
🔁 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 ↔ 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.
🕹️ 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
don’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
