  3. Select Operation Type:

    For "Importing this file to?", select options based on your requirements.

    (FYI) In case of Add & Update Data: 

          1. If the product does not already exist in Lynks, it will be created.

          2. If the product already exists, its values will be updated.
     
  4. Select Products to Import:

         1. All Products: If you want to fetch all products from Shopify.

         2. Products with Custom Tags: If you want to fetch products that have specific 
                                                           tags in Shopify (You can add the tags of 
                                                           products you want to fetch in Lynks.)

    For "Import data," you can choose between:
     
           1. One-time sync: To fetch products only once.

           2. Periodic sync: If you want to fetch products at a regular interval.
               If you select Periodic sync, you will need to:
                            a. Enter the sync name.
                            b. Set the sync frequency (how often you want the sync to run).
