info
The auto sync generates a detailed sync report for each run. Each scope type (products, customers, etc.) is logged individually with success/error counts.
Sync Order
When auto sync runs, entities are synced in dependency order:
Categories > Brands > Suppliers > Attributes > Features > Taxes > Carriers > Products > Customers
This ensures dependencies (like categories and brands) exist before products are imported.
