B. Options below allow when you import/update products with other methods such as webhook, CSV…

1. Update existing products: If enabled, a product will be checked if existed by its Shopify ID

2. Use global attributes: Choose to create global WooCommerce Attributes instead of creating custom attributes for each imported product.

3. Import images: Product mages will be imported in the background.  It’ much faster to import products while turning off this option. You can import images later that after all products are imported by going to Products.

4. Migrate description images: Import images from product description to your WordPress server. If disabled, images in description will still use shopify cdn link.
