Why is my store connected but not syncing?

Sometimes your store shows as connected in ExportYourStore, but products, inventory, or orders are not syncing. This usually happens when the connection is partially interrupted or some settings need updating.

A failed or partial connection can prevent importing, exporting, and syncing of products across marketplaces, even if the store appears connected.


Common Reasons for Sync Issues

  • Expired marketplace token – The authorization for your store may have expired.

  • Browser or extension issues – Outdated browsers or disabled Chrome extension can block syncing.

  • Inactive listings or zero stock – Only active products with available inventory can sync.

  • Auto-sync settings not enabled – Products won’t update automatically if sync is turned off.


How to Fix Sync Issues

  1. Renew Your Store Token

    • Go to Channels Page

    • Select the store and click Renew Token

  2. Check Browser and Extension

    • Ensure your browser is up-to-date

    • Make sure the Chrome extension is installed and enabled

  3. Verify Product Status

    • Only active listings with quantity greater than zero will sync

  4. Check Auto-Sync Settings

    • Make sure automatic sync is enabled for your store


Best Practices

✔ Regularly renew marketplace authorizations
✔ Keep your browser and extension updated
✔ Monitor product activity to ensure listings meet sync requirements
