How to Skip Specific Products During Import Using Custom Fields

The Sync Master App allows you to create custom fields with flexible formulas to control how your products are imported. One of the most useful applications is creating a rule that automatically skips importing certain products — for example, items from a specific collection.

Step 1: Create a “Skip Product” Custom Field

Go to the Custom Fields tab and create a new custom field with the following settings:

• Field Name: Skip Product
• Condition: Any
• Formula Type: String
• Formula: 0

The value 0 means the product will not be skipped, while 1 tells the system to skip the product during import.

Step 2: Add a Condition to Skip Products from a Specific Collection

Now, create a new condition to define when the app should skip products. Click “Add Custom Field” to open the condition builder.

Select the field from your import file that contains the collection name — for example, [Name of the collections].

Set the rule so that the custom field value becomes 1 (skip) if the collection name equals “Dress.”

Step 3: Activate the Skip Condition for Import

Next, open the Import Conditions tab and select the newly created field Skip Product as the condition for skipping products during import.

Step 4: Run the Import

That’s it! When you start the import, the system will automatically ignore all products from the “Dress” collection while importing the rest as usual.

This approach is ideal when you need to exclude entire categories, collections, or product types without manually editing your source file.
