FAQ

Why file-based instead of a live API?
Windward's data exchange is built around structured files, which makes the sync predictable and easy to audit — you can always see exactly what was imported and when.
How current is our online inventory?
You control the schedule; most stores run several sync cycles per day, which is more than enough for typical counter volume.
Can we exclude certain categories from sync?
Yes, the file mapping can be scoped to specific departments, vendors, or locations if you don't want everything to sync.
Does this handle special/quantity-break pricing?
Yes, tiered and quantity pricing rules configured in Windward are carried into your storefront's pricing display.
