I. Content Synchronization System
Transcy's intelligent synchronization system ensures your translations stay current with your Shopify store changes, but different content types sync on different schedules based on importance and update frequency.
1. Real-Time Sync Resources
Critical Content Types that sync immediately include:
Products: Any changes to product titles, descriptions, variants, or pricing sync instantly, ensuring customers always see current information.
Collections: Collection names, descriptions, and organization updates appear immediately across all languages.
Transcy Integrations: Settings and configuration changes within Transcy sync in real-time for immediate effect.
This immediate synchronization ensures your most important customer-facing content stays accurate across all markets without delay.
2. Daily Sync Resources
Standard Content Types sync once daily based on your store's timezone:
Theme Content: Static pages, blog posts, and template text
Navigation Elements: Menu items, footer content, and site structure
Policy Pages: Terms of service, privacy policies, and legal content
Marketing Content: Banners, promotional text, and seasonal messaging
Daily synchronization balances system performance with content accuracy, ensuring changes propagate consistently without overwhelming your store's performance.
3. Manual Sync Options
When you need immediate updates outside the automatic schedule:
Manual Sync Button: Click "Sync" to force immediate synchronization of daily sync resources, perfect for urgent updates or time-sensitive content changes.
Selective Syncing: Choose specific resource types for targeted synchronization, allowing precise control over what updates when.
II. Advanced Sync Scheduling
1. Real-Time Sync Configuration
Premium and Enterprise Plans gain access to Real-Time Sync configuration:
Custom Real-Time Resources: Select which resources beyond the default three should sync immediately, giving you granular control over synchronization priorities.
Performance Considerations: Real-time sync provides immediate updates but requires processing time. You may notice spinning indicators while the system loads and processes your data—this is normal behavior that ensures accuracy.
Processing Time: Allow a few seconds to several minutes for complex updates to complete before attempting translation actions, ensuring optimal system performance.
2. Scheduled Sync Setup
Scheduled Sync allows precise timing control for content updates:
Time Zone Alignment: All scheduled sync times display in your store's local timezone, ensuring updates happen when convenient for your business operations.
Minimum Intervals: Each scheduled sync must be at least 60 minutes apart, preventing system overload while maintaining reasonable update frequency.
Flexible Scheduling: Set different time slots based on your content update patterns and business needs.
3. Plan-Based Sync Limitations
Sync Capacity varies by subscription level:
Growth Plan: Includes 2 default scheduled sync time slots, suitable for most growing businesses with regular update schedules.
Premium/Enterprise Plans: Additional sync slots available, perfect for businesses with complex content calendars or frequent updates.
Capacity Expansion: Purchase additional time slots when your sync needs exceed your plan's default allocation, ensuring you never miss important updates, for each slot will be $2.8.
Transcy's content synchronization system gives you the flexibility to keep your multilingual store perfectly synchronized while maintaining optimal performance. Whether you need instant updates for critical content or scheduled synchronization for regular maintenance, you have complete control over how and when your translations stay current.
