Flo SKU Sync supports inventory synchronisation across multiple Shopify locations. When products or variants share the same SKU, the app ensures that their location-wise inventory quantities remain identical across all duplicate listings.
This helps maintain accurate stock levels regardless of where your inventory is stored.
Example
Suppose you have three products—Product A, Product B, and Product C—that all share the same SKU.
Initial Inventory Distribution
Product | Location A | Location B | Location C | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Product A | 10 | 50 | 0 | 60 |
Product B | 10 | 10 | 40 | 60 |
Product C | 30 | 0 | 10 | 40 |
Order Placed
A customer purchases 20 units of Product A.
Shopify updates the inventory for Product A:
Product | Location A | Location B | Location C | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Product A | 10 | 30 | 0 | 40 |
Inventory Synchronisation
Flo SKU Sync automatically updates the inventory of Product B and Product C to match the updated inventory distribution of Product A.
Updated Inventory
Product | Location A | Location B | Location C | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Product B | 10 | 30 | 0 | 40 |
Product C | 10 | 30 | 0 | 40 |
How It Works
The app treats products and variants that share the same SKU as the same physical inventory item.
Whenever inventory changes due to a supported event, Flo SKU Sync copies the location-wise inventory distribution from the updated product to every other product or variant with the same SKU.
This ensures:
- Consistent inventory across all Shopify locations.
- Accurate stock levels for every duplicate SKU.
- Reduced risk of inventory mismatches and overselling.
- Automatic synchronisation without manual intervention.
Note: Flo SKU Sync assumes that products sharing the same SKU represent the same physical item. Therefore, inventory quantities are synchronised across all duplicate products and locations to keep stock levels consistent.
