A cronjob is a time-based job scheduler that performs an action on every interval. In our case, we can setup the cronjob to import product changes from Zoho Inventory to WooCommerce every hour.

First read this
If you notice that not all products are synced from WooCommerce to Zoho, then please add this cronjob first and let it run every 5 minutes until all products are synced, then remove this cronjob from cPanel!
/usr/bin/php /home/mysite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-zoho-inventory/zoho-cron.php >/dev/null 2>&1
Starting Cronjob
- Select the Zoho Item Categories you want to include in the sync.
- Click on Save Category button.
- Now go to your hosting cPanel settings and add this Cronjob there that run every three hours:
/usr/bin/php /home/mysite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-zoho-inventory/sync-from-zoho.php >/dev/null 2>&1
Deciding the Cron Interval:
- If you have more than 100 products, run the cronjob every 6 hours.
- More than 1000 products? Run the cronjob every 12 hours.
- More than 3000 products? Run the cronjob once a day. If you are still hitting the API calls limit after that, please purchase additional API batch from Zoho.
