This is designed for Shopify store owners who don't wish to import all their products to the marketplace.
Using this configuration, fulfillment partners can import their products by creating a unique sales channel for the marketplace, which is not available on their online store. When the auto sync is on, it will automatically import new products only assigned to the sales channel and will avoid new products that are not added to it.
The partner can create a custom app and provide certain permissions, which you can find below, that would convert the custom app into a Sales Channel that they can select for their product. Please refer to the images below for a better understanding.
Note: Once the partner enables this configuration, they won’t be able to disable it.
To add the product, please make sure the product is added to the sales channel app that the partner created, as shown below otherwise, it won’t be imported or synced. We recommend naming your sales channel "Marketplace.Live" for reporting purposes.
