The Sync Controls page

Most syncing in SKUvio happens automatically. The Sync Controls page is where you can trigger a step by hand when you want to — for example after a big catalogue change, or to backfill something right away instead of waiting for the next automatic run.

Each button runs its own job and shows a live progress card with a moving progress bar and completed/expected counts, so you can watch it work. Buttons run independently, so you can keep using the page while one is in flight.

Step 1 — Import products

Pulls your full Shopify catalogue into SKUvio. Run this after you’ve added or changed products in Shopify so SKUvio has the latest version to work from.

Step 2 — Auto-map SKUs

Matches your Shopify variants to your Etsy listings by SKU, creating the links that let inventory and orders flow. It shows how many items matched and how many are still unmapped. Duplicate listings are supported — one SKU can map to more than one Etsy listing, and all of them stay in sync.

Step 3 — Sync inventory now

Pushes your current Shopify stock levels out to every mapped Etsy listing straight away. Handy after a manual stock adjustment when you don’t want to wait for the automatic sync. Only active products and active Etsy listings are updated.

Step 4 — Import Etsy orders

Fetches any new Etsy orders into Shopify on demand. SKUvio already does this automatically — a poller checks every 10 minutes on top of real-time order notifications — so this button is for backfill or a quick re-check. Orders that are already imported are skipped, so it’s always safe to run.

Step 5 — Re-export linked products

Re-runs the Etsy export for every product that’s both linked and configured, pushing the latest content and prices to your live listings. Use this after a pricing rule change, when your Etsy listings need the new prices. Each product is handled on its own, so one failure never blocks the rest.

Watching progress

While a step runs, its progress card shows how many jobs have completed and flags any failures. When everything settles, you get a short recap — how many succeeded, failed, and were skipped — so you always know the outcome.
