Creating/Deleting Products With The Help Of Shopify Webhooks

Shopify offers webhooks for real-time communication between apps. HotWax Commerce utilizes Shopify's new product and product delete webhooks to promptly create or delete products in HotWax Commerce. The Job Manager app enables this webhook. However, there are two limitations when using Shopify's webhook:

• It only tracks the creation or deletion of parent products and not product variants.

• Shopify states that webhook delivery isn't always guaranteed, and suggests implementing reconciliation jobs to periodically fetch data from Shopify.
