Two-way sync means information flows in both directions between your SAM catalogue and your WooCommerce store, automatically. Artworks and stock flow from SAM to your website; orders and sales flow from your website back to SAM. Neither system becomes a second copy you have to maintain by hand. Here is what that looks like in practice.
What flows from SAM to your store
- Artists, with their biographies and links to their works
- Artworks and products, with titles, descriptions, dimensions and photos
- Editions and variations for limited runs and multiples
- Stock levels, so sold pieces come down automatically
- Pricing and discounts
What flows back to SAM
Every online order lands in SAM as a sales record, with buyer details, line items, taxes and shipping, ready to fulfil. Stock changes made in the gallery push out to the website, and sales made online come back to SAM. The two stay in step without anyone reconciling them.
Why WooCommerce centres choose it
The two-way catalogue sync in the Defyn SAM plugin runs daily, hourly or on demand, and it is compatible with modern WooCommerce, including HPOS. Products you created by hand stay untouched; only items imported from SAM are managed by the plugin, each tagged so the two never clash. You can read more about the WordPress version.
