> Push a product's details, images, inventory, prices, costs, SKUs, or barcodes to your connected stores on demand, even if Synkro thinks they are already in sync.

Synkro syncs changes automatically. Force a sync when a connected store has drifted out of sync and you want to push the current values again.

## Force sync a product

1. Open the product in your Shopify admin.
2. Click `More actions > Force sync to connected stores`.
3. Select what to sync:
   - **Product**: **Title**, **Description**, **Vendor**, **Product type**, **Tags**, **Status**, and/or **Images**.
   - **Variants**: **Inventory**, **Price**, **Compare at price**, **Cost**, **Tracked**, **SKU**, and/or **Barcode**.
4. Choose a destination: **All connected stores**, or **Choose stores** to pick specific ones.
5. Click `Start force sync`.

You can also click `Force sync` on the product's page in Synkro.

### Good to know

- **Inventory** is synced for every variant at every active location, to variants with the same SKU or barcode.
- Everything other than **Inventory** only syncs to [child products](https://www.synkro-app.com/documentation/product-cloning.md#parent-and-child-products) of this product.
- Each store's [syncable product properties](https://www.synkro-app.com/documentation/manage-syncable-product-properties.md) still apply.

## Force syncing inventory levels in bulk

1. Navigate to your products list within your Shopify admin.
2. Select the products for which you'd like to force a sync.
3. Click `… More actions`, then select `Perform bulk action on selected products`.
4. Under **Force sync**, click `Start bulk inventory sync`.

This will initiate a force inventory sync operation for the selected products.

## Force price sync with Shopify Flow

Synkro adds a **Force price sync** action to [Shopify Flow](https://apps.shopify.com/flow). Add it to any workflow that has a product, and Synkro will push that product's prices to its child products in every connected store, re-applying any attached [price rules](https://www.synkro-app.com/documentation/price-rules.md).
