Mistakes can happen—like accidentally overwriting product titles or descriptions when updating your Etsy or Shopify products through Shuttle.
For example, if your Etsy and Shopify product titles differ, updating products without deselecting the 'Title' checkbox might unintentionally overwrite one platform’s title with the other.
To help prevent these unintended updates, Shuttle provides a feature called the Master Switch. This feature allows you to permanently exclude specific product attributes—such as titles, descriptions, or tags—from being updated during product syncs.
Shuttle has two separate Master Switches:
One for updates from Etsy to Shopify
One for updates from Shopify to Etsy
You can configure both Master Switches from the Products Settings page.
Important Note: The Master Switch doesn't affect the transfer of new products or real-time stock synchronization. It only controls attribute updates performed manually through Shuttle’s product pages.
