While integrated your point of sale acts as the master source for product and inventory data. After logging into your integration you can navigate to Apps > Magento to configure:
- Product Upload Settings
- Product Update Settings
- Product Options
Updates
Products that were previously linked to Magento are associated to the Magento Product ID. By default when product updates are sent to Magento only Inventory updates are sent. Your integration allows you to configure what Magento attributes are updated on each successive sync cycle. If the product has been deleted from Magento the SKU will instead be queued to upload.
Note: Please refer to the Product Attribute Mapping page for more information about attribute mapping between systems.
Important: SKUs that include special characters (# @ $ < > & *), and using SKUs that begin or end with spaces can prevent Magento from processing the product sync request.

Default Update Settings for New Stores
Update Description - Off
- Ensures that you can utilize Magento's more complete formatting tools to format your Descriptions in Magento without risk that they will be overwritten by your integration.
Update Images - Off
- Images take the most data bandwidth and the most time to sync. By leaving Update Images Off, your sync times are as fast as possible. We recommend always keeping Update Images Off.
