Product sync options

Product sync options

Our product sync is built to be flexible with granular control of which fields sync and when.

Notes
Product matching criteria
We have 3 levels of product matching criteria. The integration will check to see if we can find a product on Epos Now that matches any of the 3 criteria and if we find a match, we create a link to that product automatically.

If a match is not found, we create the product on EposNow and link it.

See the matching options available later in this article.
Product statuses
This allows us to choose which Woo product statuses are valid to sync to EposNow.

This allows products in draft status to be filtered out for example.
Use WooCommerce sales price
If this is enabled, we will set the price on EposNow as the sales price defined on WooCommerce.

If the sales price is not defined on WooCommerce, then we use the regular price.
Enable product creation
If enabled, we will create products on EposNow
Sell on till
When we create a product on EposNow, should sell on till be ticked?
Default Epos Now category
When we create a product on EposNow, which category should this product be added to?

By default, it goes into a category called WooCommerce. You can then use the EposNow back office to move this to the relevant category.
Enable product update
If enabled, we will update linked products on EposNow
Enable product deletion
If enabled, we will archive products on EposNow

Data Mapping

We sync several fields of data between WooCommerce and Epos Now.

It is possible to select which fields should sync on product creation and update separately. This allows granular control and allows users to choose whether they want to update fields on EposNow via WooCommerce or edit directly on EposNow. This is especially useful when products have different names/prices in-store and online.
