Order sync
The Inventory Sync, Multi store TP app enables seamless synchronization of orders from your Destination Stores to your Source Store.
When Order Sync is enabled:
A customer places an order in the Destination store
Tipo app creates a matching order in the Source store
✅ What information is synced to the Source order
The order created in the Source store includes:
Order number
Customer information
Product details (only for products that are already synced/mapped)
Order tag showing where it came from (example:
From: urbanwear-us)
📌 Note: The tag helps you quickly identify which Destination store created the order.
⚠️ Important considerations
Product matching (required)
For accurate order sync:
Products should have consistent handles across stores
Only synced products in the order will be synced
Inventory behavior
Orders are synced to the Source store
Inventory is typically synced one-way: Source → Destination (So Destination sales may not reduce Source inventory automatically unless your inventory setup supports it.)
Fulfillment & order updates (one-time sync)
The app syncs the order only when it’s newly created. After the first sync:
changes like fulfillment status or order status updates are not synced
example: if you update the order status in Destination, it won’t update in Source
Payments & discounts (not synced)
Payment/charge stays in the Destination store
Discount information is not currently synced
Destination store:
Order is created
Source store
A new order with the same information (customer, product) is automatically created too. Our app adds custom tag to the synced order that includes: order ID from Destination store, app name (multi_store_sync), destination store URL (xxx.myshopify.com)
Email notification is sent to admin of Source store.
