    Getting Started with Single-store Sync

    Single-store sync helps you keep inventory accurate inside one Shopify store by linking related products together (for example: bundle ↔ components, duplicate listings, or product sets).

    When stock changes for one item, Tipo can update the others automatically so you don’t need manual edits.

    ✅ Before you start

    Section titled “✅ Before you start”

    Make sure you have:

    • Tipo app installed on your Shopify store
    • Products already created in your store (the items you want to link together)
    • A clear idea of your use case:
      • Bundle product and component products
      • Multiple listings that share the same stock
      • Variants or separate products that should stay in sync

    💡 Tip: Single-store sync does not connect two Shopify stores. Everything happens within the same store.

    🧭 Key Concepts

    Section titled “🧭 Key Concepts ”

    Single-store sync typically works through Groups + Rules.

    • Group: A set of related products/variants that should follow the same inventory logic.
    • Master product (or main item): The product that drives inventory.
    • Component products: Items that get updated when the master changes.

    🔑 Key Features

    Section titled “🔑 Key Features ”

    • Sync inventory between related products

      Keep stock aligned for products that should move together (for example, bundle items and their component items).

    • Automate inventory updates with Sync Groups

      Put products/variants into a group so the app updates inventory automatically when sales/restocks happen.

    • Bundle inventory automation (Master ↔ Component)

      • When a bundle sells, the app can reduce inventory for the component items.
      • When you restock components, the available bundle quantity can update accordingly.

    • Real-time inventory consistency

      When inventory changes (sale, refund/cancel, manual adjustment), the app updates the connected items to keep your store consistent.

    • Smart scan: automatically detects and groups products that share matching SKUs.

    • Multi Store: A multi store that manages multiple stores.

    2) Choose how you want inventory to behave

    Section titled “2) Choose how you want inventory to behave”

    Common single-store scenarios:

    Scenario A: Bundle stock depends on components

    Section titled “Scenario A: Bundle stock depends on components”

    Example: “Gift Set” uses 1 mug + 1 box
    → Bundle stock should be the minimum available among components.

    Scenario B: Multiple listings share the same stock

    Section titled “Scenario B: Multiple listings share the same stock”

    Example: same product listed in different collections/pages
    → All listings should always show the same inventory.

    Scenario C: Rule-based syncing

    Section titled “Scenario C: Rule-based syncing”

    Example: product A should always match product B, or apply a multiplier rule.

    You’ll use the group setup to apply the right logic.

    3) Create your first Sync Group

    Section titled “3) Create your first Sync Group”
    • You can manually group products to share inventory.
    • If your inventory Sync groups include products with the same SKUs, you should run a smart scan to automatically detect and group products.
    Section titled “4) Test sync (Recommended)”

    Do a quick test before using it for your whole catalog:

    1. Choose one product in the group and adjust inventory in Shopify
    2. Wait for Tipo to process the inventory change
