Use case
Scheduled catalog sync from Sheets
Schedule Data Sync hourly, daily, or weekly so Shopify price and inventory stay aligned with your Google Sheet—up to 5,000 rows on Growth/Pro.
Highlights
What you get out of this flow
Outcomes you can expect when you run this playbook inside EShopSet on Shopify.
- Hourly / daily / weekly cadences on Growth and Pro
- Starter supports manual + daily for smaller catalogs
- Pair schedules with preview-on-manual for risky changes
Why schedules beat ad-hoc CSVs
Promotion calendars and 3PL inventory feeds change faster than Admin uploads. A daily or hourly Data Sync job reduces “site says in stock / sheet says 0” incidents that create support tickets and cancelled orders.
How it works in EShopSet
After a successful one-time import, set schedule in Data Sync Settings. Growth/Pro unlock hourly/daily/weekly. Use price/inventory-only policies when editorial fields should stay in Shopify. Review Logs each morning.
Example: flash-sale week
During a 5-day flash sale, a merchant ran hourly syncs on ~2,200 rows. Inventory accuracy issues reported to support dropped from ~15 tickets/day to 2–3, mostly edge-case variants excluded from the sheet.

- Prove mapping with a one-time import.
