Bulk syncing

What does a bulk sync actually do? It syncs everything. Any changes (big or small) actioned in your Shopify catalogue, will be captured in the bulk sync and flow through to Reactify Search.

Settings	Info
	Modify how frequent your daily bulk sync schedule should run. The following are our recommendations: Every 4 hours if catalogue is 10,000+ Every 12 hours if catalogue is 5,000+ Every 24 hours if catalogue is < 5,000 There’s no need to make the schedule hourly as most product updates happen in real time so the only thing left to do in the bulk sync is the collection positions, but most merchants would use boosting rules anyway
	Enable or disable certain tasks like syncing, webhooks, mapping, and curations. We recommend keeping all tasks in this list enabled.
	The first button unlocks the syncing task, the other bulk refreshes curations. Learn about syncs here.

Choose to exclude "draft" products in the bulk sync

Draft products are excluded by default. With lesser products, syncs run even faster. However, if you do choose to include them, simply click on the checkbox and draft products will be included in the next bulk sync.

Individually sync a product or collection

The Catalogue section in the app, allows merchants to sync a specific product or collection individually. This is helpful if you’ve made changes to a few products or collections within Shopify but don’t want to wait for the scheduled bulk sync. Simply navigate to this section in the app:

Catalogue -> Click Products catalogue or Collection catalogue

The list of items on the page shows all the Shopify products/collections that Reactify Search is aware of. To start the sync, simply hover over the specific line item and press “Sync”. Once the sync is complete, changes should appear on the live site immediately.

Please note: You can only sync one item at a time.

The types of syncing within the app

There are two main types:

• Bulk sync = captures all data in your entire Shopify catalogue, and automatically runs every few hours. Simply click the "start sync" button in the Dashboard section of the app.

• Individual sync = captures all data for a specific product or collation, and manually runs when the "sync" button is clicked for the specific item within the Catalogue section of the app.
