- AMBERPOS ONLY: These are required to be controlled from AmberPOS, and will cause problems with sync, or will be overwritten on BigCommerce.
- CONFIGURABLE fields are ones that we can choose to sync, or can update from AmberPOS.
- BIGCOMMERCE ONLY: No support in AmberPOS for this field, and must be changed on BigCommerce's control panel.
