Test Syncing Product Data #8

Open dmm109 opened 5 years ago

dmm109 commented 5 years ago

As an admin I would like to figure out the easiest way to update existing product data between Square and WooCommerce. Currently WooCommerce will only automatically sync an item's quantity on the hour. Thus new items are not added automatically and existing product data such as an item's photo, description, and price are not automatically synced. Would the idea of deleting a product from WooCommerce and running a manual sync produce the desired outcome?

Created a test item with price, sku, and quantity of 2. Synced to woocomerce and item displayed. Dropped item quantity to 0 in square. Synced. Product still displayed on woocommerce but as "Out of stock".

Attempting to remove sku LASER013's category to see if this will prevent from sync'ing

Removing the category on the item worked and the item was removed from the website. This is not very user friendly though. However, some pens are dropping from the site when their quantities are reaching zero.

Another option is to keep the item in the list of website products but change the published to private. This then hides the item from the public.
