Yes, with SKUPlugs, Square POS and WooCommerce can effectively operate on a single unified product catalog. Our integration designates one platform - typically Square as the primary source of truth and automatically syncs products, SKUs, pricing, descriptions, and images to WooCommerce. This eliminates duplicate data entry and ensures consistency across both online and in-store channels. The moment you create or update a product in your master system, SKUPlugs reflects those changes instantly in the connected platform and keeps your catalog clean and aligned. Merchants can also control which fields sync and which remain independent, giving flexibility for channel-specific pricing or descriptions if needed. This shared catalog approach simplifies onboarding new products, reduces errors caused by manual uploads, and ensures your team always works with accurate data. By managing the synchronization layer with SKUPlugs, you gain a streamlined product workflow that supports omnichannel selling without compromising control, data accuracy, or operational efficiency.

SKUPlugs solves inventory conflicts through real-time/near real-time synchronization between Square and WooCommerce. Once a purchase occurs in-store or through an online platform, the corresponding adjustments are reflected instantly within the linked platform according to custom synchronization settings. SKUPlugs also enables the processing of updates on a step-by-step basis, which eliminates the chance of negative inventory and lowers the danger of overselling products when products are being marketed through multiple sales channels on the same platform and purchase occurs through multiple platforms simultaneously. Additional customizable settings include priority sales channels, with priority sales and buffer settings available to satisfy immediate sales or to reserve a custom buffer level for sales through walk-in customers. Synchronization logs assist with syncing status and enable immediate identification of discrepancies should any exist. Furthermore, SKUPlugs also offers support and protection with inventory buffers and minimum quantity levels—a mechanism that shields products with low quantities within inventory from being oversold through e-commerce platforms.

Absolutely. With SKUPlugs, you have complete control over when and in what manner data syncing between Square and your WooCommerce site occurs. This includes the ability to pause sync activity at any point in time whether you’re conducting audits, restructuring your catalog, performing a reset for a new season of sales, or at any point in time during maintenance sessions. Scheduling allows you to choose sync times in relation to schedule needs such as performing sync activities at set intervals such as every 15 minutes, at set times per hour or during non-peak periods depending on your needs, especially for high-volume accounts seeking to ensure sync activities don’t affect performance levels when sales are at their heaviest. During this time, both sides remain operational. When sync activities are resumed, SKUPlugs syncs any changes to ensure data consistency. Regardless of status changes – whether active, paused, or pending – you’re able to view sync status at any time.

Absolutely! SKUPlugs does allow for complex multi-location mapping from Square to WooCommerce. If you run multiple Square locations and have multiple WooCommerce stores, you can set up mapping of each Square location to your preferred WooCommerce store or inventory variant. For instance, you can set your downtown location's sales data to sync only with Store A while syncing your warehouse inventory with Store B. This is perfect for franchise businesses, regional businesses, or multi-brands. SKUPlugs even enables you to share your catalogs with location-based inventory management. You can therefore have all your products managed from a central hub but with different inventory levels in each location. It therefore eliminates discrepancies when you move inventory across different locations while ensuring all your reports remain clean.

The SKUpIugs tool is able to automatically identify and manage the SKUs that might exist twice. When there is an identical SKU found both on the Square and WooCommerce platforms, the SKUpIugs tool is able to identify the products using either the SKUs, names, or internal IDs, depending on your preferred setup. The SKUpIugs tool makes sure that there is no duplication and that your products’ directory is squeaky clean. When there is any disparity, such as prices and descriptions, that might result from such duplication, the SKUpIugs tool will indicate this in the sync reports and will give you an opportunity to handle this manually. The SKUpIugs tool provides you with the SKUP Normalization option to prepare and standardize SKUs to avoid future duplication.

Of course, with SKUPlugs, you get to determine what products are actually synced between Square and WooCommerce. You can exclude products using categories, tags, stock status, locations, and even selected products manually. These settings can be best utilized for preventing in-store-only products, services, product bundles, and controlled products being sold via your online store. Additionally, you can exclude draft, archived, and low stock products from being automatically added to WooCommerce as well. These exclusion filters are particularly useful for preventing products not suitable for your online business from cluttering your WooCommerce site while not interfering with your physical store activities either. SKUPlugs helps you ensure excluded products remain untouched on WooCommerce with a normal tracking setup for Square as well.

SKUPlugs supports the handling of multi-currency situations by syncing the base price from the Square to the WooCommerce and then letting it have a different currency exchange, tax settings, and geographic pricing policies as supported by the WooCommerce configuration. In the case of dealing with different markets for business, the business will be able to have a single master price in the Square and then dynamically change the displayed price according to the preferred currency through the currency plug-ins or rate services in the WooCommerce. The business will be able to have the SKU consistency and the accuracy of the stock quantities in all the currency settings by the aid of the SKUPlugs solution, and there will be the ability to have different pricing policies on the different channels, like online markup and geographic discounts, which will not affect the in-store prices.

You have the same options if you remove products on the WooCommerce side. This is helpful in preventing accidental deletion of your historical data, search engine optimization status, or sales data. SKUPlugs enables you to perform "soft deletion," meaning you can remove products from your storefront but still have them for reporting purposes. Deletion activities are traceable through the sync logs.

Yes,SKUPlugs comes with automated stock buffer settings to save you from overselling. You can choose to reserve either a certain buffer value or percentage for every item or location. It means if you display 50 pieces of the item available in Square, the plugin will only allow, say, 45 to be shown available in your WooCommerce website, keeping the rest as stock buffer. These stock levels will automatically vary as the stock positions do and need no manual execution. Perhaps the most helpful function associated with the stock buffer lies in periods of increased customer demand, flash sales, or situations where stock replenishments often get delayed.

For handling backorder operations, SKUPlugs adheres to the inventory and ordering rules for each platform. It will continue to synchronize negative or zero inventory quantities when backorder is allowed on the corresponding WooCommerce site. The inventory for the Square platform can be set to enable or disable negative inventory depending on your preference. In addition to handling inventory and order processing for backorder products, the system will enable directing your backordered products to certain locations or warehouses for their processing.

This process of remapping is vital since you are able to maintain accurate inventory levels, prices, and order connections.

Absolutely, it has full support for inventory viewability by location. You can even opt to use specific Square locations to feed inventory information to WooCommerce or view information about stock availability for locations via specific WooCommerce plugins. This way, customers can view real-time availability for locations related to fulfillment, or stores for click-and-collect or shipping areas. You can opt to give priority locations for online orders but hold other locations for offline orders. This way, you increase efficiency for order fulfillment, avoid delays in shipping, or even improve the experience for customers by not allowing them to order stock that is unavailable. SKUPlugs makes managing multiple locations for inventory easy.

SKUPlugs connects customers based on their emails, phone numbers, and IDs to create a single customer profile across Square and WooCommerce. Once order syncing is activated, the SKUPlugs connection enables the smooth flow of customer information from both systems to prevent the creation of duplicate customer records and lost purchase histories. Customer update communications can be set to be sent from either system or in two-way synchronization modes to make sure that rewards, receipts, and marketing integrations are utilizing the synced information properly. More than that, SKUPlugs also takes into consideration personalized privacy and consent settings to only process approved fields.
