# Set up connection status

### 🔎 Connection status overview

There are **two connection modes** in Tipo Sync:

#### ✅ Auto-accept

The Source store will **automatically accept** connection requests from Destination stores.

Use this when:

* you control both stores
* you want the fastest setup
* you don’t need manual review

#### 🛡️ Moderation (Manual approval)

The Source store will **review and approve** each connection request.

Use this when:

* multiple teams manage different stores
* you only want approved Destination stores to connect
* you need more control

***
