What Happens When I First Install Fabrikatör?

When you first install Fabrikatör, we initiate a comprehensive data synchronization process from your Shopify store. This process is designed to seamlessly transfer your product and historical order data into our system, providing you with immediate insights into your inventory management.

How Long Will the Sync Take?

The synchronization typically takes between 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the complexity and volume of your store's data. Our system carefully retrieves and processes your historical sales information, product details, and order history. This ensures that you start with a complete and accurate picture of your inventory from day one.

Can I Close the App During Sync?

Absolutely! The sync process continues automatically in the background, even if you close the Fabrikatör application or shut down your computer. Our cloud-based system ensures that your data synchronization will complete seamlessly without requiring you to keep the app open continuously.

What Factors Affect Sync Duration?

Several factors can influence the length of the sync process:

  • Total number of products in your store

  • Volume of historical sales orders

  • Complexity of your sales data

  • Current Shopify server response times

Larger stores with extensive sales histories may require more time to process completely.

What Should I Expect During the Sync?

During the synchronization:

  • You'll see a progress indicator in our application

  • The process runs automatically in the background

  • You can continue using other systems and applications

  • Once complete, you'll receive a confirmation email

  • Our system will automatically generate initial inventory insights and recommendations based on your historical sales data

What If the Sync Encounters Issues?

While rare, occasional synchronization challenges can occur due to various factors such as temporary Shopify server responses or network interruptions. In most cases, these resolve automatically within a few hours. If you notice the sync status remaining unchanged for an extended period, we recommend reaching out to our support team.
