Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this work with large catalogs? A: Yes. The workflow handles thousands of variants. For stores with 10,000+ SKUs, we recommend adjusting the sync frequency or batching products.

Q: Can I customize which fields sync? A: Absolutely. The workflow is fully editable. Add custom fields, change calculations, or modify sync logic to match your business.

Q: What happens if I make a mistake in Google Sheets? A: Changes only push to Shopify when you add specific commands to the notes fields. Review before the next sync cycle. You can also disable automatic syncing and use manual triggers only.

Q: Can multiple team members edit the sheet? A: Yes! Google Sheets supports real-time collaboration. Multiple users can view and edit simultaneously. Use Sheet permissions to control who can make changes.

Q: Does this affect my Shopify API limits? A: Streamline Connector handles rate limiting automatically. The workflow batches requests and respects API quotas.

Q: Can I add custom calculations? A: Yes! Add your own formulas in Google Sheets for margin analysis, ABC classification, seasonal trends, or any other metrics you need.

Q: What about product images? A: Image URLs are included in the Products tab. You can view images directly in Google Sheets or reference them in your own reports.

Q: Is my data secure? A: Your data flows directly between your n8n instance, Google Sheets, and Shopify via Streamline Connector. Nothing is stored on third-party servers. All connections use OAuth2 and API key authentication.
