# Select specific product information to sync

This guide explains how to choose which product fields Tipo Sync will copy/update from your Source store to your Destination store.

This is useful when you want to sync only certain data (like **price and inventory**) but keep other content (like **descriptions**) different per store.

### 🛠️ **How to set**

1\. Open the app in **Destination** store > click **Settings > Product Fields to Synchronize**

3\. Select one option for each product field. There are 3 options for you:

* **Sync**: Continuously updates the field whenever changes are made in the Source Store.
* **Create and Don’t Sync**: Sets the field during the initial product creation but does not update it afterward.
* **Don’t Sync**: The field will not be synchronized; it remains independent in the Destination Store.

4\. Click **Save** to finish

For example:

* If you want to sync product title from Source store to Destination store, select **Sync** option
* If you do not want to sync product price from Source store to Destination store, select **Don’t sync** option

Note: Products are synced by handle so the **title** and **variant title** are required to be synced. You need to select option “Sync” or “Create and don’t sync” for them.

### 📖 Example Scenarios

* **Synchronizing Product Titles:**

If you want the product titles in the Destination Store to always match those in the Source Store, select **Sync** for the Title field.​

* **Maintaining Unique Prices:**

To set different prices in the Destination Store, select **Don’t Sync** for the Price field. This allows you to manage pricing independently.​

* **One-Time Description Setup:**

If you want the product description to be copied during the initial sync but not updated afterward, choose **Create and Don’t Sync** for the Description field.

* **Sync inventory only**

&#x20;Products are synced by handle so the **title** and **variant title** are required to be synced. You need to select option “**Sync**” or “**Create and don’t sync”** for Title and Variant title. Select **Don’t sync** options for other fields.
