Only columns marked editable (yellow) sync to Shopify. Editing any other column has no effect on your store. ### What happens when I grow past 500 products? Upgrade to Starter (up to 1,000 SKUs) or Growth (up to 5,000) from inside FlexSync. Your Sheet and setup stay the same. ### Can I use FlexSync in my language? Yes.
