Explanation:

All three proxy services — ScraperAPI, ScrapingAnt, and Decodo — offer two options inside the AMS plugin:

• Import Products – controls product import requests.
• Update Products – controls updating existing product data.

These options can be enabled or disabled independently for each service.
After saving the API key, the plugin provides a Test button — use this to verify that the proxy connection works correctly. This ensures your setup is active and functional before importing or updating products.
