@mrtoddkennedy thanks for your detailed reply, appreciate your feedback!

Just as I figured, you only have one variation per product which is weight, you don’t have weight and color for example. This is why the sync works like a charm.

The site I manage sells sports clothing and the issue is that for example, a shirt will come in various colors and sizes and because there’s more than one attribute in this case color and size it won’t sync from woo to square (square is SOR) and it won’t work even if woo is the SOR according to square documentation as there’s a limitation on the number of attributes per product, that being only one, in your case weight.

The other issue is that square deletes the woo categories (and descriptions) as in square you can only associate any product to only one category which blows.

SO I have to options, one being to make woo SOR and forget keeping track of inventory in square, only need square to process payments and provide POS. The other alternative in my mind is to have two accounts in square. One for online sales and one for offline with POS. That would mean keeping track of two different inventories but at least all sync would work fine.

Any other ideas are most welcome! I would really like to get this working like a well-oiled machine!

Thanks for your reply @mrtoddkennedy appreciate it!

I am going to do a trial very soon as the current setup does not work at all. Have you got any products with multiple variations and if so are they synced to square? We have a number of variations on products and sync does not work when Square is SOR.

I may just make all products simple and change SOR to Woo and just see what happens!

Thank you for your answer! The issue is that when Square is the SOR it overwrites some details in woo, especially by removing categories as only one category can be selected in square as that is the limit.

Will there be any issues with switching to woo as SOR or is it as simple as going to woo settings and flipping the switch to Woo SOR? Also, inventory counts will be kept in woo not in square if I make woo the SOR is that right. So in effect square will only be used to process payments and woo will be the SOR for everything else?
