 * When asking the host to setup up loopback, what exactly am I asking them to do.
   Is it adding the 127.0.0.1 domain.com to the virtual entry, or is it some thing
   else?
    I’m chatting with them, and they have asked what exactly do I need. Having
   the non sync background thing happening as well.
 * Thanks in advance

 * Hey [@portfox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/portfox/),
 * WooCommerce Square uses loopbacks to keep syncs with Square moving. If we ran
   them as one long process, they would time out and the products wouldn’t finish
   syncing. So the sync functions are set up to loop back on themselves so the sync
   can finish.
 * There have been some improvements to how syncing works under the hood with Square
   3.0. If you haven’t updated yet, I would suggest going on and doing that.
 * Thanks!
