# Products

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

1. **Initial product download:** Downloading existing products from the merchant's Shopify store keeps the HotWax product catalog up to date.
2. **Import newly added products:** Reflecting new products or variants added by merchants on Shopify in the HotWax product catalog.
3. **Update product details:** Synchronizing HotWax with the Shopify store as product information changes.
4. **Delete existing products:** Maintaining data integrity by removing products from HotWax when they are deleted from the Shopify store.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.hotwax.co/documents/learn-shopify/shopify-integration/products.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
