# Understanding ReviewX WordPress to SaaS Cloud Data Synchronization

Modern e-commerce stores demand blistering frontend speeds alongside powerful cloud-based features such as AI review summarization, automated email delivery pipelines, multi-criteria analytics, and multi-store management. **ReviewX** achieves this through a state-of-the-art **hybrid architecture**: a lightweight, high-performance WordPress client coupled with a robust cloud SaaS backend.

The Best of Both Worlds: Local Ownership + Cloud Power

All review comments, media attachments, and customer ratings remain stored locally in your WordPress MySQL database (in `wp_comments` and `wp_commentmeta`), ensuring complete data ownership. The SaaS cloud manages heavy computational tasks such as automated email reminders, quota tracking, AI sentiment analysis, and multi-criteria aggregations.

## What Data Synchronizes Between WordPress and the SaaS Cloud?

| Data Entity | Sync Direction | Purpose in ReviewX Architecture |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Products & Post Types | WordPress → SaaS | Synchronizes titles, permalinks, featured images, and prices for email reminder rendering. |
| Customer Orders | WordPress → SaaS | Detects completed orders to calculate reminder delivery delays and recipient queues. |
| Reviews & Ratings | Bi-directional (↔) | Keeps review statuses (approved, pending, spam), star counts, and replies synchronized across surfaces. |
| Discount Coupons | Bi-directional (↔) | Synchronizes generated promotional codes and tracks single-use redemption status. |

## Real-Time Webhooks vs Manual Batch Synchronization

Under normal operational conditions, data synchronizes in real-time via automated WordPress action hooks (such as `woocommerce_order_status_completed`, `comment_post`, and `wp_update_comment`). However, if your server experienced downtime, migration, or temporary network interruptions, you can initiate a manual synchronization:

### Step-by-Step Guide: Running a Manual Data Sync

### Step 1: Open the Tools Center

Navigate to **ReviewX → Tools** in your WordPress administrative menu and click on the **Data sync** tab (marked with **Badge 1**).

### Step 2: Inspect Sync Status

Review the synchronization summary cards. Each card displays the current synchronization status, total record count, and last sync timestamp for Products, Orders, and Reviews.

### Step 3: Trigger Synchronization

Click the **Sync now** button (**Badge 2**). ReviewX securely packages local delta changes and transmits them in batches to the cloud SaaS API.

### Step 4: Verify Completion

Upon completion, a green confirmation badge indicates all records are in parity. The storefront widget cache is automatically cleared so visitors immediately see the latest updates.
