Collection sync

The Tipo Multi-store Sync app enables you to synchronize product collections from your Source Store to Destination Stores.

Note: this setting syncs the collection, not the products in the collection

Steps to manage

1. Open the app in Source store > click Settings

2. Scroll down to Share Collections part > tick on checkbox Enable

3. Select collections you want to sync

• All collections: all products of all collections in your store will be synced with Destination store

• Specific collections: only products of selected collection(s) will be synced with Destination store

4. Click Save

Create connection in Destination store

How the sync works?

The collection sync is also based on the sync configuration when you connect 2 stores.

1. Create new items if not exist and update current items that have the same identifier

• The app will:

  • Create collections on the Destination store if they don’t already exist.

  • Automatically update existing collections that share the same handle (URL path) as the Source.

Example

• Source collection: Summer 2024 Handle: /collections/summer-2024

• The app will:

  • Create the Summer 2024 collection on the Destination store.

  • Keep syncing changes (e.g., title, description, products inside) from Source to Destination automatically.

Note: Any future updates you make to the "Summer 2024" collection in the Source store will also appear in the Destination store.

1. Only update current items that have the same identifier

The app will:

• Not create new collections.

• Only update collections in the Destination store that already share the same handle with the Source.

Example

• Source collection: /collections/summer-2024

• Destination also has /collections/summer-2024 → Updates will sync.

• Source has /collections/spring-2025, but Destination does not → No collection will be created or synced.

1. Create new items if connection is accepted

The app will:

• Only create and sync new collections that are added to the Source after the store connection was established.

• Existing collections in the Source store will not be synced.

Example

• Store connection created on August 5

• You add a new collection on August 6: Back to School → This collection will be synced to the Destination store.

• An older collection like Spring Sale created before August 5 → Will not be synced.
