Manual synchronization: when and how to do it

RecordFlower synchronizes your Discogs stock every night at midnight. Don't want to wait? Start a manual synchronization directly from your dashboard.

When manual synchronization is useful

You've just added a large batch of releases to Discogs and want them in your webshop today. Or you've rolled out a price promotion that needs to go live immediately. In those cases, start a manual synchronization so your webshop immediately shows the current state of your inventory.

How it works

Log in to your dashboard and start the synchronization. RecordFlower retrieves your most recent Discogs inventory and processes all changes in your webshop. Depending on the size of your inventory, this takes anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes.

Your monthly limit

Every synchronization counts as one: the nightly one at midnight and every manual one. iFrame Webshop and Standalone Webshop include 30 synchronizations per calendar month, resetting to zero on the 1st of each month. Pro / Growth synchronizes without limit.

Over your limit

Used up your 30 synchronizations? Without the Extra Synchronizations add-on, synchronization is blocked until the following month. With the add-on, extra synchronizations keep running and are billed on a tiered basis: €0.05 per synchronization (1–100), €0.03 (101–500) and €0.01 from 500 onward, per month, excl. VAT.

What this means for you

Manual synchronization gives you direct control over when your webshop is updated. Use it at moments when being up to date matters. Need more synchronization capacity? Add extra synchronizations or choose Pro / Growth for unlimited synchronizations at recordflower.com.
