Repair Sync
The Repair Sync feature is a maintenance tool designed to resolve discrepancies between your Shopify store and the ARShades plugin data.
When to use it
You should use Repair Sync if you notice:
- Products marked as "Synchronised" in the plugin but not showing the AR button on the storefront.
- Errors relating to missing or invalid Variant IDs.
How it works
Unlike the "New Sync" which looks for new matches, Repair Sync validates existing connections.
- It checks every currently linked product.
- It verifies that the Shopify Variant ID still exists and matches the ARShades Model ID.
- It removes broken links where the Shopify product no longer exists.
To run it, simply click the Repair Sync (wrench icon) button on the Assets page toolbar.
