# Products

HotWax Commerce requires accurate product data to track inventory changes and ensure near real-time inventory counts on Shopify. It also facilitates order downloads and expedites the fulfillment process. For precise synchronization of products from Shopify to HotWax Commerce, we tackle four key scenarios:

1. **Initial Product Download:** Downloading existing products from the merchant's Shopify store keeps the product catalog in HotWax Commerce up-to-date.
2. **Importing Newly Added Products:** Reflecting new products or variants added by merchants on Shopify in HotWax Commerce's product catalog.
3. **Updating Product Details:** Synchronizing HotWax Commerce with the Shopify store as product information changes.
4. **Deleting Existing Products:** Ensuring data integrity by removing products from HotWax Commerce when they're deleted from the Shopify store.
