  • Automatically export Price & Qty changes from Shopify to OTTO.
    If you enable this option, Mulwi will automatically update product price and quantity on OTTO when they change in Shopify.

  • Quantity value if variant's quantity is less than 0.
    If a product variant has a quantity less than 0, Mulwi will set the quantity to the value you specify.

  • Applied Filters.
    Use filters to choose what products to exclude from listings on OTTO.
    Check the information on creating filters on the Feeds > Filter exported products page.

  • Automatically export new Orders from OTTO to Shopify.
    If you enable this option, Mulwi will automatically add OTTO orders to Shopify.
    You can process these orders in the same way as the default Shopify orders.

  • Prefix for exported OTTO orders.
    All orders Mulwi imports from OTTO will have this prefix in their name, for example "OT-0001".

  • Automatically export order delivery status from Shopify to OTTO.
    To enable this option, please contact our support team.

  • Translate to the language.
    Translate your listings if necessary.
