We will conduct some testing this sprint and pass along documentation/recommendations to BC to publish

@snoroozi our initial tests with various configurations of Varnish indicate that it can disable wp_cron, which will also disable the product importer. If you are able to set up a server-side cron to bypass wp_cron, that may be a path forward.

All other features within the plugin appear to work as-expected with Varnish running.

If you see that your importer will not pass through Step 1 of the process, you can verify if wp_cron is working or not by testing with WP Control.
