Q&A

Nothing is working! Help!

• Be patient due to the amount of data trying to be sent.
• This process can take a while and is best done outside standard business hours.
• Check the stack to make sure nothing is stuck!

Is this necessary?

• Sending the entire QOH is important for keeping a live inventory record.
  • if the item isn’t in the system -> it cannot be tracked.
• Syncing data can be beneficial if numbers are off.

How often do I need to do this?

• All dependent on how often new product is added to your store.
• Customers do not need to be imported as much as inventory (usually).
