Two-way inventory sync

This guide explains how Two-way Inventory Sync works in Tipo app so inventory changes in either store can update the other store.

✅ What is Two-way Inventory Sync?

With Two-way sync, inventory can flow in both directions:

• If inventory changes in the Source store → it updates the Destination store
• If inventory changes in the Destination store → it updates the Source store

This helps keep stock consistent when you sell the same products in multiple stores.

🎯 When should you use it?

Use Two-way Inventory Sync if:

• you sell the same products in multiple stores
• both stores can create sales (or stock adjustments)
• you want inventory to stay aligned automatically

⚠️ If you want only one “master” store controlling inventory, use One-way Inventory Sync instead.
