Generic Filters

Feature Description

Generic filters control which products, variants, and warehouse data are synced from your supplier to your Shopify store. You can filter based on various attributes and conditions to ensure only the relevant data is imported. This helps you avoid cluttering your catalog with unwanted SKUs and keeps inventory aligned with your business strategy.
