Two-way order sync refers to the bi-directional exchange of data between two systems—in this case, your Magento store and RealtimeWMS. Enabling two-way order sync ensures that all orders in the e-commerce platform are instantly shared with the WMS for quick processing and order fulfillment.

As orders are fulfilled, shipment information is sent back to Magento, keeping customers informed in real time.
