Run Synchronization Automatically
In order to execute all synchronization tasks regularly, PrestaBay module is required to set a cron job.
Cron is a time-based job scheduler in Unix-like computer operating systems. Cron enables users to schedule jobs (commands or shell scripts) to run periodically at certain times or dates. It is commonly used for doing some tasks at specific intervals at every time.
Usually hosting have CPanel, DirectAdmin, or other hosting panels that already include cron configuration service.
| NB! If your hosting does not support the cron schedule please contact us for a solution. |
Cronjob has the following syntax: 
Cronjob command for PrestaBay module should be following:
| */5 * * * * wget -O /dev/null https://yourstoreurl.com/modules/prestabay/cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1 |
Where “yourstoreurl.com” – is your store URL (and don’t forget to change HTTPS —> HTTP if your store doesn’t support SSL certificate).
This command will execute automatic synchronization every 5 minutes.
