General Configuration
Each connected store has its own configuration. Open the store's workspace (Manage Account), then go to Account Settings → General Configuration. Make your changes and select Save General Setting — "Settings updated successfully!" confirms the save.
Tips
If you submit the form without changing anything, the connector tells you: "Unable to update the settings because you have not change any data." That's informational, not an error.

Real-Time Sync – Fields to Update
Two multi-select lists control exactly which product fields real-time sync may overwrite:
- Fields to Sync (WooCommerce → Shopify): Title, Description, Images, Price, Weight, Barcode.
- Fields to Sync (Shopify → WooCommerce): Title, Description, Images, Price, Categories, Weight, Barcode.
Deselect any field you manage independently on one platform — for example, deselect Price in the Shopify → WooCommerce list if WooCommerce prices are set by your own pricing strategy, and automatic updates will leave them untouched.
