General
Products can be synced from the source application to Faire. Within this sync, different types of products are supported. APIcenter gathers the data from the source application, then it is run through APIcenter to have the correct settings, values, and formats before it is sent to Faire. Products are created or updated based on the SKU.
You can differentiate within APIcenter the behavior between creating and updating products. For example, when APIcenter creates a product and sends in the long description from the source application, but if you enrich the data after this in Faire, you don't want to have it overwritten with an update. For this, you can set a checkbox to update the product info.
