 * Hi,
 * I know this has asked before and is currently an open Feature Requests. [https://woo.com/feature-request/square-sync-options/](https://woo.com/feature-request/square-sync-options/)
 * I’d like to only sync inventory counts from Square to WooCommerce and ignore 
   Name, Description and Category so that what I have in WooCommerce does not get
   overwritten.
 * I’m comfortable making changes to the php code and came across a post which said
   to comment out some lines in woocommerce-square/includes/Sync/Product_Import.
   php so the sync will ignore categories. I did make the edits but it still overwrote
   the categories.
 * Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

 * Hello [@mwnets](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mwnets/), thanks for reaching
   out.

 * Your approach to only sync inventory counts from Square to WooCommerce is well-
   thought-out.
 * However, helping out with custom coding of this nature is outside the scope of
   support that we can help out with here, although I would recommend the following:
    1. Running the exact question you’re asking, along with the code changes you made,
       through an AI platform like ChatGPT for recommendations/changes to your code;
    2. Joining our WooCommerce Slack community (it does have a developer channel where
       you can ask coding questions): [https://woo.com/community-slack/](https://woo.com/community-slack/)
    3. Waiting for the feature request to be implemented. This is because modifying
       the core plugin files can lead to unexpected issues and can be overwritten during
       updates.
 * Hope it helps!
