Prepare Before Connecting
A little preparation prevents sync issues after you connect.1
Decide which system owns product details and pricing
Choose whether MyStockPulse or the external platform is the source of truth for product names, descriptions, and prices. Mixed ownership causes conflicting updates.
2
Standardize SKUs across both systems
Make sure product identifiers match exactly. Mismatched SKUs are the most common cause of duplicate or missing products after syncing.
3
Remove or merge duplicate products
Clean up duplicates in both systems before the first sync. It is much easier to resolve duplicates manually than to untangle them after automated syncing begins.
4
Confirm which locations or warehouses should sync
Decide whether all locations sync to the integration or only selected ones. Sending the wrong location data can create false stock shortages or surpluses.
5
Choose how historical data should be treated
Determine whether past orders and stock movements should be imported or if the sync should start from today. Large historical imports can take time and may include data you no longer need.
6
Test with a limited part of the catalog
Connect a small product category or single location first. Validate that data flows correctly before enabling the full catalog.
Validate the Connection
After setup, confirm these items before relying on the integration for daily operations.- Products match the intended records and appear with correct names, SKUs, and prices.
- Sales and orders appear once, not twice. Duplicate orders usually mean a webhook or import is running in addition to the sync.
- Stock changes update at the correct location. A mismatch here often means the wrong warehouse is mapped.
- Cancellations and refunds behave as expected and update stock and totals correctly.
- Payment and accounting information is complete when the integration handles financial data.
- Shipping and fulfillment updates reach the intended channel so customers receive tracking and status notifications.
