How does it work?
Waterfall Sync happens by default, as scheduled
- The Sync Flow of Product data changes happen in this direction: Changes in Shopify → Changes in app → Changes in Google Merchant product data
This means the main source of truth is in your Shopify product tab. Changes in Shopify's product data fields and inventory changes will be reflected in in-app product data, hence Google Merchant item listing data.
- Sync back to Shopify is optional
The good news: You can choose whether to sync changes in-app back to your Shopify or not
Use case: You want a different title, description, or image optimized for Google while keeping your Shopify data uniquely tailored to the storefront.
