True, our plugin provides automated data synchronization, but in order to initiate the automation, there is a toggle-based setting under the backend Settings tab namely Enable Instant Sync, which provides simple and automated data synchronization actually.

If you want to perform the automated data sync for your store’s data then just enable the toggle ON and let your store data sync over Zoho CRM automatically.

Your WooCommerce store-based transactional data will not sync automatically if you supposedly turn OFF the toggle, consequently, you’ll have to manually sync the data and then utilize the Data Sync tab options.

Maintain Flawless Data Synchronization Across Both Platforms

For such crucial times, we have come up with an easy and outstanding metabox setup option i.e. Reset Zoho Feed Ids.
