Thrive syncs product information with WooCommerce to keep your inventory data consistent across both platforms. However, not all fields sync between the two systems due to WooCommerce's platform restrictions.

This guide explains which fields sync, how to manage WooCommerce-specific fields, and important limitations to know.

Please note that if the field is not listed, Thrive does not sync to/from it.

When you've successfully connected your catalog from WooCommerce to Thrive, Thrive will now sync updates to product fields to your WooCommerce account. More information on how Thrive syncs can be found here.

Some notable fields that are editable in Thrive, but will not sync to WooCommerce include:

WooCommerce-specific Fields

WooCommerce-specific fields provide additional control over how products appear and function in your online store:

WooCommerce field	Thrive field	Notes
Slug	Slug	The unique name is automatically given to a product to generate its URL for your online store. Edit this value to create a more user-friendly URL.
Product status	Product status	Product status indicates whether a product is available for purchase or not.
Featured	Featured	Allows you to promote specific items on your website.
Catalog visibility	Catalog visibility	Determines which shop pages products will be listed on.
*Short description*	*Short description*	A summary of the products in 1 or 2 short sentences. It will be shown at the top of the product page.
*Sale price*	*Sale price*	The price of the product during the sale period. The sale price must be lower than the regular price. Requires the Date on Sale fields.
*Date On Sale from*	*Date On Sale from*	The date the sale period begins.
*Date On Sale to*	*Date On Sale to*	The date the sale period ends.

Italicized & bold fields indicate they are available at both the product and variant level.

Finding WooCommerce - Specific Fields

Fields that are relevant exclusively to WooCommerce users can be enabled/disabled under the Integrations tab as shown here on the old Edit Products Page.

Enabling or Disabling WooCommerce - Specific Fields

Control which WooCommerce-specific fields appear in Thrive.

Go to Settings
Navigate to Feature Settings > Catalog > Integrations
Toggle WooCommerce fields on or off

Enabling fields makes them visible and editable in Thrive. By enabling them, Thrive will be the source of truth for these fields. Disabling fields hides them from Thrive. Once disabled, they can be managed in WooCommerce only moving forward.

Importing WooCommerce-specific fields

If you recently enabled a new field, be sure to click the "Import WooCommerce Fields" button to make sure what's in WooCommerce is reflected in Thrive, as shown here:

By importing this way, you'll only bring over information from those enabled fields. If you're just getting started using these fields, importing ensures syncing is properly enabled.

Editing WooCommerce-Specific fields

One-by-one

Edit individual products by clicking on the desired product on the Products page. From the Edit Products page, find the Integrations Section to view all Woocommerce fields in one spot, or navigate to the other sections mentioned above.

In Bulk

Once fields are enabled from the Settings page, under Feature Settings>Catalog>Integrations, click "Bulk Upload WooCommerce Fields" as shown here:

Next, you'll have the option to edit products OR variants. Depending on the fields you want to edit, you might need to generate a bulk upload spreadsheet for each.

Enabled integration-specific fields can be edited via a spreadsheet on the Bulk Uploads page.

If you have questions about a particular field syncing, please refer to this guide first as it will have the most up-to-date information.

Manage Image Syncing to WooCommerce

You can control whether Thrive syncs product images to WooCommerce.

From Settings, under Locations & Integrations, your connected WooCommerce has additional sync settings you can manipulate, including turning Image Syncing On or Off to your WooCommerce.

If Image Syncing is turned OFF to WooCommerce, Thrive will not manage image data, and images can be managed in WooCommerce directly moving forward.
