# Will product information edited in Webflow sync to CartGenie?

Do the two platforms sync both ways?

**We recommend only working in CartGenie to ensure all products and edits are created properly and synced to both platforms.**

This is especially important when working on a product with variants as variant options are not able to be created in Webflow and must be done in CartGenie’s dashboard.

## Products & Categories

Most product & category fields in CartGenie do technically support two-way sync between Webflow and our CartGenie dashboard. This means that you can edit these specific fields in either platform and it will be synced back to the other.

**The following info should sync both ways:**

-   **Primary Product Fields:**
    
    -   Name, slug, description, price, compare\_at\_price, sku, shippable, billing\_method, track\_inventory, stock, weight, width, heigh, length.
        
    -   Image and extra images (multi-image) will sync both ways
        
        -   _If an image is replaced in Webflow with the same file name, we won’t recognize it and sync to CartGenie_
            
-   **Additional custom fields:**
    
    -   All additional custom fields should two way sync **except Image, Multi-Image, File, Reference, and MultiReference types.** These additional fields should ideally always be edited in CartGenie to ensure that the information is synced to both platforms correctly.
        

> **Info:** Note: “Draft Changes” saved to a product in Webflow will not be synced to CartGenie. For Webflow changes to sync to CartGenie, the product must be saved as “Draft”, “Queued” or “Published.”

> **Warning:** **Note**: Product variants are not able to be created in Webflow. They must be created in CartGenie and synced into Webflow.

## Custom Fields

We also recommend only adding custom fields in CartGenie (via [product settings](https://dash.cartgenie.com/products/settings) or [category settings](https://dash.cartgenie.com/categories/settings)), which will sync back to Webflow to be used in the designer there.

The reason for this is because while most fields will sync both ways, **there are a few fields (such as ‘file’, ‘image’, ‘ref’, and ‘multi-ref’ which cause issues if added in Webflow first.** If these custom fields are added in CartGenie, they will be correctly synced to both platforms and work properly.

## Do I need to publish my site again after making changes?

No, you can simply **publish the individual product** to update it across both locations. _(Saving changes as draft will not be synced to CartGenie)_

All changes in CartGenie are automatically saved in Webflow. If you save a product as draft, it will immediately be saved as draft it Webflow. If you publish a product in CartGenie, it will be published in Webflow immediately. You do not need to re-publish your entire Webflow site to see the changes.

Similarly any changes to a product (from fields mentioned above) that are saved/published in Webflow will be synced back to CartGenie.
