Product Requirements for Vendor WooCommerce Store Sync

1. The product should be either a “simple” or “variable” product.
2. The product must be published (status) on the vendor's WooCommerce store.
3. There can be no more than 3 options/attributes per product, as Shopify only allows up to 3 options for creating variants.
4. The number of variants/variations cannot exceed 100, as Shopify (our host) permits only up to 100 variants.
5. The product should not be “downloadable”, “digital”, or “virtual”.
6. The product must be “purchasable” (i.e., it should have quantity and price).

Note: In the "Connected Vendor Stores" tab for any vendor's product, if you see "Not Managed" under the quantity field, it indicates that the vendor has disabled the "Track Stock Quantity" option for that product in their Woocommerce store.
