Blinker User Guide




The Blinker Toolbar




Search


Use search to help find specific blog posts if you have a long list.


Sync


Sync grabs all the latest blog posts, products, categories and brands on your site. When you click 'Sync' please wait until the app has finished syncing - this can take a few minutes depending on how much data there is to sync.

If you don't see something in the lists, click sync...

It's a one-way sync, we do not change your data!


Manage Subscription


Subscriptions are managed using  Stripe .

Once the app is installed your 30 day free trial will start. Click on Subscribe in the Blinker toolbar at any time to enter your payment details and start your subscription (you will not be charged until your 30 day trial ends).

You can cancel your subscription at any time by uninstalling Blinker app.
