📖 Here are some common issues you may encounter when working with the Boost Sync feature and ways to address them.


I've modified/added a product, but I haven't seen it updated yet, why?

Updates don’t show instantly—especially on large stores. Here’s why and what to do:

  • Auto‑sync runs periodically. We automatically check for changes and update your data; the frequency depends on your plan.

  • Updates are queued. Each product/collection edit counts as one update. We process about 4 updates per second, one at a time. Large queues (e.g., thousands of edits) take longer.

  • Collections can take extra time. We also sync each collection’s product sort order, which adds processing time.

See changes immediately
In the app, go to Settings → Sync Overview and click Sync recent updates. (Duration varies by catalog size.)

If delays persist, contact Support and we’ll investigate.


I've reordered manually a collection but it is not affected in the front store, why?

Currently, Shopify doesn't have a Webhook for Collection update (more info here). So to get the new order, please go to our Settings > Sync overview to sync recent updates. Our app has an Auto-Sync process, which will automatically run (frequency depends on your Subscription) to check and update any modifications you have made even though there is no Webhook received.
