• Variant Fields – Variant title, Barcode, Weight, Tax settings, Inventory tracking, and more.

• Price Fields – Price, Unit price, Cost per item.

🛠️ 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 – Create and update

• Ignore – Never sync this field

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 Ignore option

🔗 How Product Matching Works

Before syncing a product, Tipo Sync checks whether the product already exists in the Destination store.

The app compares products using the selected Matching Identifier:

• Handle (Recommended)

• SKU

• Barcode

After checking for a match, Tipo Sync follows the selected sync mode.

Sync Mode	Matching Product Found	No Matching Product Found
🔄 Create & Update	Update Product	Create Product
🔁 Update Only	Update Product	Ignore Product
