Product import: properties update

Let’s explore this example. Suppose you have a T-shirt product in Shopify that you’ve linked to a supplier in the app.

You’ve set up product synchronization with these settings:

• Supplier SKU → Only during creation
• Unit Cost → During creation and updates
• Tax Percent → Only during creation

After the product syncs, it updates as follows:

• Supplier SKU → TSHIRT-1
• Unit Cost → $19.00
• Tax Percent → 5%

As you can see, only the Unit Cost updates, while the other properties remain unchanged, reflecting the sync settings.

Use Case for – Only during creation

If you only want to import products initially but later need to adjust their values in the app, use this setting. Subsequent product syncs won’t affect products already created.

Use Case for – During creation and updates

If you prefer managing this property in Shopify without overrides from the app, select this setting.
