If your vendor has migrated from one e-commerce platform to another, you'll lose the connection with their store and their catalog, which will prevent you from syncing stock and prices or sending orders to their store.

5. Go to Integrations > (your store) and enable the setting "Automatically connect to inventory feed variants":

6. Go back to the new feed and fetch it:
