Metadata synchronization

The WooCommerce Connector provides tha capability for you to synchronize selected metadata values from a response into a specific field in Business Central. The feature requires you to identify a metadata key so that the WooCommerce Connector can determine which values are to be synchronized between Business Central and your webstore.
