Sync mode
Pausing or cancelling a sync subscription
Pause or cancel sync subscriptions when the source catalog should stop producing scheduled deltas.
Quick answer
Pause or cancel sync subscriptions when the source catalog should stop producing scheduled deltas.
What this means
Use this when you are one of the teams keeping marketplace and Shopify catalogs aligned after the first migration. The goal is simple: understand what Storeshift changes, what Shopify will import, and what you should review before a real catalog update.
Plain-English rule: do the smallest safe action first, inspect the result, then scale up. That means preview before full run, sample import before full import, and review before publishing.
Before you change a live Shopify catalog, check product titles, body copy, image order, variant options, prices, handles, SKUs, SEO fields, and any warnings shown on the run page.
Simple checklist
- 01Start with a trusted baseline Shopify CSV so existing products can be matched.
- 02Review borderline matches before treating products as new or already imported.
- 03Use the delta CSV for new and changed products rather than re-importing the entire catalog.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Running recurring sync without stable source identity fields or a baseline catalog.
- Approving fuzzy matches without checking title, image, SKU, and price context.
- Importing a delta file as if it were a full replacement export.
