What's the difference between Get All and Get New Shopify Products?

Question

In Retail POS's Shopify settings, what is the difference between Get All Shopify Products and Get New Shopify Products? 

Setup

  • Retail POS for Mac or PC
  • Shopify Integration

Answer

  • Get All Shopify Products will import all your products that exist on your Shopify store that don't already exist in Retail POS. If the product already exists in Retail POS and the SKU and Handle match, it will link the Shopify product to the existing Retail POS product. If there is no exact match a new product will get created.
  • Get New Shopify Products will import any products that haven't previously been imported from Shopify.

Additional Information

Use these options with caution! We recommend always taking a back up of your Retail POS and Shopify product list before making any changes.

If you use the Get All Shopify Products option and you have existing products in Retail POS and the system finds a match the integration will import the product information from Shopify into Retail POS and overwrite the product information that you currently have in Retail POS.

If you have never used the Get All Shopify Products and use the Get New Shopify Products instead for the first time. The system will consider all your products to be new products and will import all your products from Shopify respectively.
