Why changes don't reflect in storefront instantly

When you save an element in LinkSpot, the change is stored in the LinkSpot database immediately. But for your storefront to show that change, LinkSpot also has to write the data to Shopify metafields, which happens in a background queue. The storefront reflects the change once that sync completes.

Why it takes a moment

The sync runs as background queue jobs so LinkSpot can stay within Shopify's API rate limits and coalesce multiple changes to the same product into fewer API calls. In practice:

• A single save usually shows up on the storefront within seconds.
• A batch of many changes saved at once may take up to a minute or two.
• A hard refresh on the storefront clears any cached version of the page.

When it is taking too long

If a change has not appeared after a couple of minutes:

1. Hard-refresh your storefront to rule out browser cache.
2. Confirm the element is enabled and that its targeting matches the product you are viewing.
3. Open the element, change something trivial, and save again to put a fresh job on the queue.

If the delay is persistent across multiple saves and products, that is not normal. Send the details to LinkSpot support. See How to contact support.
