Completing a Test Sync with Shopify

After making the necessary data changes in Swim, you may wish to complete a test sync before syncing your full product range. A test sync allows you to trial a small set of items in Shopify to confirm they display correctly.

Steps to Complete a Test Sync

  1. Select a small number of items in Swim and format them according to the requirements listed here.
  2. Contact Swim Support to connect Swim and Shopify via the live sync.
  3. Set the Web Item status of each test item to YES.
  4. Review the synced items in Shopify’s Products Admin page to confirm all product information is accurate.
  5. Check the customer-facing Shopify product page to ensure:
    • Variant options (if applicable) display correctly.
    • Images appear in the correct order and resolution.
