What is “near real-time” synchronization?
Each time QuickBooks Synchronizer runs it sends inventory updates to ProductCart. Depending on your ProductCart settings your online store will respond to inventory changes in “near” real-time. For example, if I have 200 widgets in my warehouse (and 200 listed online) and I sell them all in my retail store (not on the Web store), QuickBooks Synchronizer will sync the inventory with ProductCart, updating the inventory count to 0, and making that product unavailable. On the other hand, if I sold all 200 widgets on the Web store, inventory would not be removed from QuickBooks until those orders are imported as invoices or sales receipts. You can setup the system so that orders are imported at frequent intervals, allowing you to maintain a near real-time synchronization.
