One-Way Inventory Sync

The Tipo Multi-store Sync app allows you to synchronize product inventory from your Source Store to your Destination Store.

In a one-way sync setup, any inventory changes made in the Source Store will automatically update in the Destination Store. However, changes made directly in the Destination Store will not affect the Source Store.

Steps to Set Up One-Way Inventory Sync

In Source store

1. Open the app in Source store > click Settings > Enable Share product setting

2. In Inventory and Orders part, select One-Way Inventory Sync

3. Click Save

Note:

• Ensure that the products are assigned to the correct locations mapped in the connection between stores. Inventory synchronization is based on these connected locations

• One-Way Sync means that inventory updates flow only from the Source Store to the Destination Store.​

• Any manual changes to inventory in the Destination Store will not reflect back to the Source Store.

• Ensure that product handles match between stores to facilitate accurate synchronization.​

Example: One-Way Inventory Sync (Based on Product Handle)

Let’s say you have two Shopify stores connected:

• Source Store: https://furniture-eu.myshopify.com

• Destination Store: https://furniture-us.myshopify.com

You are syncing a product called:

Product Name: Modern Oak Bookshelf Handle: modern-oak-bookshelf

Store	Inventory Before	Inventory After
Source Store	20	15
Destination Store	20	15 ✅

When someone buys 5 units in the Source Store, the inventory in the Destination Store is automatically updated to match (15 left).

✅ This works because both products have the same handle: modern-oak-bookshelf.

What Happens if Inventory Changes in the Destination Store?

Let’s say a customer buys 2 units from the Destination Store.

Store	Inventory Before	Inventory After
Destination Store	15	13
Source Store	15	15 ❌

In One-Way Sync, the Source Store is not affected. Inventory changes in the Destination Store do not sync back.
