The Shopify Connector has one required setting and some optional settings.

Synchronization

The Shopify Connector can synchronize all products (Full synchronization) or products changed since last synchronization (delta synchronization).

Full synchronization

A full synchronization will take all products in both Perfion and BigCommerce and add, update or deactivate/delete all products in Shopify.

Delta synchronization

A delta synchronization will take all changed products in Perfion since last synchronization and add, update or deactivate/delete the products in Shopify. To detect changed products the mapped feature to SyncDate must be cleared. To clear the feature use Item Triggers or Actions to create a functionality to mark products changed.
