Sell Shirt Red and Blue (Inventory Sync Group for different SKUs)

Case

I have two products in my store:

Product Name	SKU	Inventory Quantity	Track Quantity Enabled
Blue Shirt	BLUE-SHIRT	30	Yes
Red Shirt	RED-SHIRT	20	Yes

I want these two products to share the same inventory pool so when one sells, the stock reduces for both. This helps me avoid overselling and manage stock centrally.

Solution: Create an Inventory Sync Group

Steps:

1. Open the sync app > click on Inventory Sync Groups section on the left menu > click New Inventory Sync Groups button

2. Enter a name for the group, e.g., Inventory Sync Group -T-shirt and Set the group status to Active.

3. Set Initial Synced Stock to 50 (which is the sum of 30 + 20)

4. Add the two products: Blue Shirt and Red Shirt. I filter them by tag. Click Preview variants button to see that products will be added to the group

5. Save the Inventory Sync Group.

   Once saved, all included products will share the same inventory: when one sells, others update automatically.

Result

The Blue Shirt and Red Shirt now share a combined stock of 50 units.

• When a customer buys 1 Blue Shirt, the shared stock reduces from 50 to 49.
• This updated stock is reflected for both products, so the inventory shown for Blue Shirt and Red Shirt becomes 49.
• If a customer buys 2 Red Shirts, the stock reduces from 49 to 47, and this update is visible for both products.

Summarizing the inventory changes after purchases:

Action	Shared Stock	Blue Shirt Stock	Red Shirt Stock
Initial stock	50	50	50
Buy 1 Blue Shirt	49	49	49
Buy 2 Red Shirts	47	47	47
