4. Synchronization From HQ

November 7, 2022


Here is one example of a “Synchronize From HQ” setup.

In this setup, the following items are kept in sync between HQ and store accounts. 

Changes made by HQ get copied to stores, typically every 5…10 minutes.

Data

Notes

Products

Stores can add their own products as well.

For individual fields (such as Price, Tax Rate, Status, Supplier, UPC), it is possible to specify that:

  • The field will be copied to store accounts only once, when the product is first created.
  • Or, the field will never be copied to store accounts.

After the product has been synced for the first time, the franchisee can edit these fields as they see fit; their changes will not be overwritten by updates from HQ. This setup is useful in case each store owner might want to set the field to a different value.
