Note the Unique Identifier to sync and create products in Shopify is the Product Name or title. If you change the product name, then another duplicate product will be created.
The Shopify SKU is also needed to match items to your POS. So, in this case the SKU or Barcode from Revel needs to match the Shopify SKU field. So, both the product name and the Shopify SKU need to match your POS.
