Summary

MyWorks Sync has a lot of different options when it comes to syncing data, and this article helps share what direction data syncs, whether new or updated data syncs, and what fields are synced by default.

Below are a list of the default fields synced/mapped already in our sync. Custom field mapping is supported, and is handled on a case by case basis over support ticket. Additional WooCommerce plugins that add extra functionality/fields would not conflict with our sync, but may need custom mapping if their fields need to be used by our sync.
