Configuration: Product Synchronization

Navigate to TNW QuickBooks > Product page which holds configuration for product synchronization

Step-by-step guide

• Synchronization Type
  • Automatic - Magento will try to create / update QuickBooks product as you make changes in real time
  • Manual - Have control which products should be synchronized with QuickBooks and when. You will be able to trigger synchronization from the product record in Magento
• On Delete
  • Leave in QuickBooks - When product is deleted in Magento, DO NOT remove that product from QuickBooks
  • Remove from QuickBooks - When a product is deleted in Magento, also remove it from QuickBooks automatically. (IMPORTANT: Use at your own risk, this process is irreversible, just like it's irreversible in Magento)
