Understanding the Dashboard​

Common Tasks​

  1. Click "Incremental" next to Products
  2. This syncs only changed items (fast, ~5-10 minutes)

Weekly Full Sync​

  1. Click "Full All"
  2. Syncs everything (slower, ~1-2 hours)
  3. Best done during off-peak hours

Check for Errors​

  1. Look at Sync Status panel
  2. If "Errors" > 0, click to see details
  3. Review Recent Logs for specific error messages

Quick Tips​

  1. Incremental vs Full

    • Use Incremental for daily updates (fast)
    • Use Full for initial setup or weekly maintenance (complete)

  2. Best Time to Sync

    • During off-peak hours (early morning or late evening)
    • Avoid peak shopping times

  3. Multiple Syncs

    • You can run multiple entity syncs at once
    • Each shows its own progress bar

  4. If Sync is Slow

    • Large datasets take time (10,000+ items = hours)
    • Check progress bar - if it's moving, it's working
    • Monitor the "Current Item" to see what's being processed

  5. If Errors Occur

    • Check Recent Logs for details
    • Most errors are non-critical (item-specific)
    • Contact support if many errors or sync fails completely

Success Checklist​

After your first sync:

  • All connections show green checkmarks
  • Sync completed without errors
  • Items appear in PrestaShop store
  • Stock levels are correct
  • Prices are correct
