“Inventory syncing” also known as inventory feeds, data feeds, product data feed, local product inventory feed, inventory sync, stock feeds, stock sync, merchant inventory, dropship inventory feed, and price and quantity feed, is any supplier or warehouse-provided data that contains inventory information. Additionally, inventory syncing allows you to show the accurate inventory picture across all channels in real-time as transactions happen. 

 How Does Inventory Syncing Work in Duoplane?

When managing your product inventory in Duoplane, you have several options regarding how inventory is synced with your eCommerce channels. Keep reading to understand how inventory information is transferred between Duoplane and your eCommerce channels:

Inventory Sync Direction:

For each product listed in your eCommerce store, you have 3 options for the direction of the inventory sync:

1) Duoplane => Channel

2) Channel => Duoplane

3) No sync

These preferences can be set at a store level in your store settings. If any individual products differ from the store setting, you can override the setting at the vendor or individual product level.

If you plan to make inventory updates in Duoplane, then set Duoplane to write to your store(s). If you plan to make inventory updates directly within the store / eCommerce channel, then set Duoplane to read inventory information from that store.

Importantly, if you make any inventory changes somewhere other than the inventory master, those updates will be overwritten by the inventory master.
