🛠️ Manage Inventory Groups

After importing, you can manage and review details in each group:

• Group Name: Used to identify the sync group.

• Locations & Initial Inventory: Set synced stock levels for each location.

• Add Variants: Add products manually or by condition (e.g., based on tags or collections).

• Preview Variants: See all products included in the group and their current inventory levels.

Example

You imported a group named “T-Shirts”. It syncs stock across 3 locations:

• Main Warehouse (50 units)

• Storefront (20 units)

• Online Warehouse (30 units)

When one sells 2 items, the app automatically updates all locations to keep stock consistent.

Notes:

• Always download the sample CSV before importing to ensure your file matches the format.

• Use Export regularly to back up your sync data.

• If importing large files, make sure your CSV is clean, no empty columns or duplicate headers.
