๐Ÿ›๏ธ Products and Variants synchronization : how does it work?

You can synchronize your Products and Variants with Airtable thanks to SyncBase. This topic explains how it works.


Overview


  • Products data can be found in the Products tab.
  • Products metafields data can be found in the Products Metafields tab.
  • Variant data can be found in the Variant tab.
  • Variant metafields data can be found in the Variant Metafields tab.


How Shopify structures Products and Variants


Each product always has at least one variant in Shopify โ€” even if itโ€™s not visible in the admin. When thereโ€™s only one variant, Shopify creates a Default variant behind the scenes. Youโ€™ll see it in your synced Airtable base.


Products and Variants data you can sync


SyncBase supports syncing key product and variant information, including:


Product
  • Product ID
  • Handle
  • Title
  • Description
  • Vendor
  • Status
  • Tags
  • Images
  • SEO meta-title and meta-description
  • ... and more!


Variant
  • Variant ID
  • Product ID
  • Item ID
  • Price
  • SKU
  • Barcode
  • Country of Origin
  • Weight
