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

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.
