Way to only sync products from online store channel?

[brettburwell]

Hi there. Our client is setting up their Shopify store, and is using both the online store and POS sales channels.

When syncing products into Craft, it looks like all of the products are syncing over, including products that are only marked for the POS channel in their Shopify account.

Is this expected functionality? Or is there a way to only have the online store products sync over?

Thanks in advance!

PT-2832 Way to Only Sync Products from Online Store?

[lukeholder]

Due to backwards compatibility with earlier versions of the plugin we couldn't limit sync to just the Craft CMS app sales channel, but we did introduce an publishedOnCurrentPublication query param on products which allows you to only return the products enabled for the craft site sales channel.

That will let you only show products that are enabled for the craft CMS app integration from the Shopify side.

We could look to make a setting to limit the sync though. I'll leave this ticket open for the request. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply @lukeholder.

I'm not seeing any info for publishedOnCurrentPublication in the docs. Would that be used like this:

{% set upSells = craft.shopifyProducts.publishedOnCurrentPublication(1).all() %}

And if that param works like I'm guessing, that will be helpful on the templating side of things.

If you could look into a setting for limiting the sync to just the "Online Store" channel from Shopify it'd be much appreciated!

For this particular client, they've got around 1000 products in total, but only 100 of those are being sold in their online store. So when all 1000 products are synced into Craft, it creates quite a bit of clutter in the system.

Specifically, for instances when the client is selecting products via a "Shopify Products" field. It'd be a much nicer experience to only select from the 100 relevant products vs. having to scroll through full list of 1000 products.

Any word on this as a potential update?

It's very odd—at least from the client's perspective—that the plugin would sync in every single product in their store, and not just the ones from the online sales channel.

I understand needing to respect backwards compatibility, but from where our client sits, having no option to filter what's being synced in doesn't feel like a "nice to have" feature, it just makes the plugin / store feel broken for them.

Understand it's not ideal, we could look to add a setting and CLI command to not sync them.

In the meantime you could you modify the sources conditions to always exclude those not published on the current publication?

Adding the setting to the list of todos.

@lukeholder Thanks for following up!

Having this as some sort of configuration option would be dandy and super helpful for this particular client (and, I'd imagine, other folks out there too).

In the meantime you could you modify the sources conditions to always exclude those not published on the current publication?

Great idea. Thanks for the tip.
