A Shopify Bridge keeps WordPress and Shopify aligned in both directions: products, orders, customers, stock. The bridge writes per-row mapping meta to the WordPress side (_shopify_bridge_id for the Shopify object ID, _shopify_bridge_synced_at for the last sync, _shopify_bridge_status for the current state) and caches sync cursors and entity counts in wp_options. None of that is shown in the standard WP admin screens.

SleekView reads wp_posts for products and orders joined with those meta keys, plus the bridge's options cache (shopify_bridge_cursors, shopify_bridge_entity_counts). Every row in the table shows its Shopify ID, sync status, and last-sync timestamp side by side. Build separate views per entity type or one unified "Sync state" page.

Bulk actions can re-trigger the bridge's own sync hook (shopify_bridge_resync_entity), so retries follow the bridge's existing rate limits and webhook handling. Edits to the Shopify ID mapping flow through update_post_meta() and the bridge picks up the change on its next cron tick.

Two-way Shopify sync sits on the critical path for stores that use WordPress as the editorial surface and Shopify as the checkout, or the other way around. The bridge plugin itself can scale: it batches, handles rate limits, and writes a small set of meta per entity. Operationally though, the default WP admin doesn't reflect any of that.

Catalogue managers can't see which products are out of sync without opening each one; integration engineers can't filter for unmapped entities without a SQL console; support can't tell which side last won a conflict. SleekView exposes the bridge's own meta as columns and saved filters so the sync state becomes part of the normal admin surface. The bridge keeps doing its job, no code changes required, but the team finally has a single view that answers "is everything in sync, and if not, where".
