    • Stock Management:
        • Add Products to MNP:
          • Activate this function to synchronise your store products with MNP. Enabling it creates your store products within the MNP system.
          • For example, suppose you intend to retrieve products from a sales channel like TikTok and transfer the product data to MNP. In that case, you must initially activate the product download option from the sales channel. Subsequently, enable the "Add Products to MNP" option to ensure the products are first added to Channels. At this point, the system transmits the product data to MNP. Follow these steps precisely to ensure the products are generated in MNP.
        • Download Products: This feature can fetch product information from the MNP plugin and generate corresponding Store products. It also retrieves product quantities from MNP every 3 minutes, updating the plugin quantities accordingly.
        • Auto Sync Stock: This functionality ensures that stock levels across all channels under the store linked to this plugin are regularly updated with quantities received from the MNP plugin every 3 minutes.
