The 'Everspring Imported' flag — never break this

Every WooCommerce product that syncs with Everspring has an 'Everspring Imported' flag in the Advanced tab. Together with the SKU it's the only link to Everspring — change it wrong and you'll get duplicates or broken stock.

Why this matters

Every product in WooCommerce that syncs with Everspring has a small toggle called Everspring Imported. Together with the SKU, it's the only thing the plugin uses to decide whether a product is owned by Everspring. Flip it off and the sync stops; change it wrong and you end up with duplicates.

Where to find it

  1. Open a product in Products → All Products.

  2. Scroll to the Product data section.

  3. Click the Advanced tab.

  4. You'll see Everspring Imported with a Yes/No value.

What the values mean

  • Yes — the plugin treats this product as an Everspring product. Stock and any configured fields refresh every two hours, and orders containing this product forward to Everspring automatically.

  • No (or empty) — the plugin ignores this product. It stays in your store unchanged, but stock won't refresh and orders won't forward.

Fields that must stay intact

Along with the flag, these two fields are load-bearing. Edit them only if you know what you're doing.

  • SKU — must match the SKU in Everspring exactly. This is how the plugin finds the product; a typo here means the product is treated as unknown on the next sync.

  • Everspring Imported — the flag itself.

⚠️ If you change the SKU or set the flag to No while the product is still in your Everspring catalog, the plugin creates a brand-new duplicate WooCommerce product on the next sync.

When it's OK to set the flag manually

The main legitimate case is preserving SEO value on an existing WooCommerce product (its URL, handwritten description, images) and binding it to an Everspring SKU instead of letting the plugin auto-create a new product. To do that:

  1. Set Everspring Imported to Yes.

  2. Enter the matching Everspring SKU.

  3. Add the product in your Everspring catalog.

  4. Wait for the next sync — stock and pricing start updating on the existing product.
