If you have multiple webshops / online shops and want to synchronize products within several sub-websites of a WordPress Multisite, you can easily do this with the following plugins. After installing and setting up the WooCommerce Multisite Sync Plugin, you can go to Multisite Sync in your backend. There you can make initial settings and activate a first cron job and configure it for synchronizing WooCommerce products, categories, stocks, etc.
We also provide a way to synchronize between multiple shops that are not in one installation (Multisite).

Synchronize only WooCommerce products
First, you should activate the cron job itself. Then you can enable data updates when a product is published or updated. If you do not enable this, product data will only be updated once a day. The repetition, of course, depends on what you have set for this cron job. We use „daily synchronization“.
Then you should define your master page and the target page with which the data should be synchronized. The type of source post is important. Use „Products“ here to update only the WooCommerce product data.
Automatically create and update products
If products are to be created when they do not exist, you should enable the option. In addition, you should set the update, if available, and use the SKU update key. You can also exclude specific product IDs and metadata that you do not want to synchronize. For example, the _regular_ price is managed on the sub-websites themselves.
Synchronize product tags, categories and images
Finally, you can enable the synchronization of product categories (taxonomies), post meta, images or tags. These are created if they do not exist, otherwise they are automatically assigned to existing tags or categories.

You want to synchronize products and data between several different WordPress installations – The solution: WooCommerce to WooCommerce product synchronization via API (REST API)?
The WooCommerce API Product Synchronization Plugin* is a great solution for separate WooCommerce stores, whether as a distributor or end-user. With this plugin, you can synchronize the product across multiple WooCommerce sites.

This plugin can synchronize data from one installation to multiple installations.
Features of API Synchronization:

How do I configure API synchronization? It's simple:
The configuration takes only three steps. Suppose you need to synchronize the product from Store A to Store B.
-
- In Store B, enable the WooCommerce API and generate API keys. You will need a Consumer Key and a Consumer Secret.
- Follow these steps for the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret: WooCommerce REST API Documentation – View Documentation
- Now, install the plugin in Store A and go to the plugin settings page „TM Woo API Link“.
- Configure the API credentials for Store A.
- In Store B, enable the WooCommerce API and generate API keys. You will need a Consumer Key and a Consumer Secret.
That’s all you need to synchronize your products with the target store.
