Product Name
Use the following syntax to match the product name:
Product Name <space>- - <space>variant1<space>/variant 2…..
For example:
Jeans -- blue / 34”
While syncing, we check for the exact product name for the format mentioned above. If the product name matches, we will update other product details, if required, else we will create a new product.
Best Practices:
-
If a product needs updation, then do not delete the product and re-create. This results in duplication of the items in QBO.
-
Ensure that each product has an unique name.
-
When you are using the Duplicate feature in Shopify, ensure that the product names are different.
SKU
While SKU is matched to the product name, if needed, the Product Name is matched to the Description field in QuickBooks.
Note: SKU to SKU Matching from Shopify to QBO is to be introduced soon.
Best Practices:
-
If an SKU needs updation, then do not delete the SKU and re-create. This results in duplication of the items in QBO.
-
Ensure that each SKU has unique names.
